Thanks so much for answering and its very nice to meet you!
I did a little bit more research last night after I posted this and I found a great article about the three types of breeding...outcrossing, line breeding, and...now I forgot the other one. So, that made things a little clearer, too.
The breeder gave me photos of the mom and the grandmother and the pedigree for the dad. I will ask her some more questions. I just know she's busy and I hate to bother her too much with dumb questions.
My little girl will be 17 weeks when she comes home. I haven't named her yet...I want to see her personality first. I haven't been able to meet her in person, but my breeder sent me lots of photos and she will send me updates as she grows. I wish I could meet her in person but she is 26 hours away.
She sounded VERY excited about this new pairing and she said that she didn't have any puppies from this dad yet so she would keep one. But...of course, I couldn't share in her excitement and it all went right over my head...LOL.
