This post is so funny because I am always amazed at the differences in personality and preferences!!!!
I researched my breeder for over a year before I was ready to commit and I called her as the President of the YT Club of England just to make enquiries as to who she would recommend as a breeder. I had no idea that she actually had a litter.
She didn't want my life story but did wonder how I knew about her since I wasn't calling her for her litter which was advertised via the Kennel Club. I told her I'd found her details on the website as someone who ran the club and could offer advice. I never once left long messages and she was happy about that because she had 2 litters at once, the first time in her 30 year career, and she was so stressed about it...haha.
The point is, it was only when she finally met me in person that she wanted to know extra info. She wanted all of our phone conversations to be very brisk simply because she was very busy!
It's just so funny how we make assumptions and project expectations on others who aren't even aware!!! I had assumed she'd want my social security number, address, pics of my backyard etc... She really just wanted to know if I had experience with small dogs since Teddy was going to be her smallest.
Weird and fascinating! |
