| Newbie with a WWYD question. Ok, first I will confess that I have been lurking here for awhile. Our 15 year old Yorkie, Babe, passed last October. We miss him so much and decided a couple of months ago to get a new little guy. We found a local breeder and went to meet her and see her dogs. She was very nice, her dogs look good ect. There were three males we were looking at...but we did not want to make a quick decision, so we left, with the agreement that my DH and I would be back in a couple of days to let her know which one we wanted and to leave a deposit.
When we went back, we told her that we would like the littlest male, and she was very surprised. She later told me that she had thought if she could not get what she wanted out of him she would keep him. We left the deposit, and went back a couple of times to visit him. She told us that we could come to see him every week, but I did not want to intrude so I waited a little over a week before I contacted her again to come visit. That was a week ago. I have emailed, I have called twice (once leaving a message, and once without), and my DH has called and left a message. She has not called back. Now, she could could be on vacation, or there may be something more important that a dog going on in their life...so I am trying not to panic. But I am afraid she is going to back out of selling us this dog.
My girls are so excited about this little guy...they are attached, and planning for his arrival in a week or so...they are expecting a puppy! I have contacted a breeder here at YT for a "back up" plan if the worst happens. But a. we are invested emotionally with this one...and b. I don't want to back door this breeder here.
SO...after all of that...what would you do? I see no point in calling or emailing again yet, she has two phone messages and an email from us already. I have thought about stopping by her house...but it seems "stalkerish"...and if there are other things going on which has nothing to do with this dog, I don't want to add to that KWIM? But how long would you let it go...and what would you do?
Thank You,

PS...I have not set up a "fancy" profile yet, because I had planned on waiting until I got "Beckham" before I joined in the fun |
