I can't lie, I'm a bit nervous! I told her that I'm a college student (I'm currently enrolled in a phD program) and she's worried I wouldn't have enough time for a puppy/money etc (a very reasonable concern). Either way, do you guys have any suggestions of how to prepare myself to meet her (like I said, I'm nervous!) and I'd like to reassure her and convey that I will be a dedicated owner.
Thank you! |
Well this best preparation is honesty, and a great desire to do well by your pup, coupled with an honest self evaluation of how you will care for your pup on a day to day basis, and obviously have the basics of money set aside for regular vet, grooming and feeding, but also an idea should a health concern arise how would you deal with this?
These pups can live a healthy 15 years or so, so your breeder is looking to place a pup for all those years. \will you care and put first this pup over the long haul, through boyfriends of one nature or another, through all life changes that will come your way?
But also remember as this breeder is evaluating you , so should you be evaluating this breeder and her breeding program.
