I wouldn't have started this thread if it weren't such a dilemma for me. I've considered most everything that's been brought up but still it's a hard decision. I think I really need more info before going forward with this. |

Tough dilemma but I think that your concerns are very valid. I would probably be very open and upfront with the couple. Tell them that you are looking out for Tessa's well being and future. I am sure that they will understand and certainly can appreciate the concerns. These days people are living so much longer and I've met senior seniors who shocked me when I learned their ages!!! When my MIL live in an assisted living facility, they were so active and a lot of them were as young as you can imagine! 80 is probably toay's 60. Best of luck with your decison. I truly believe being up fron with your concerns would be the best way to approach this. :) |

O.K.....I just got off the phone with their vet and got nothing but a total thumbs up from them. They know her and her husband well and told me they wouldn't hesitate in placing a puppy with them. I got some detailed info about the care they gave Sophie, their Yorkie that passed away, too, and it all seems good. |

Nancy, they were very helpful. The receptionist talked with me first and gave me info about Sophie. She didn't know them personally as she has only been there 6 months but got the doctor on the line and she told me more about the couple. I think it all sounds good, so far. |

Great news, Jim! Sounds like it may work out. Placing puppies is a hard thing to do, finding them the best homes possible can be quite a job. But doing your homework to the best of your ability will ensure you are making the right decision. |

Mary and Bonny, placing these babies is always difficult for me. You can become adept at whelping and raising babies, but every home you consider is always a unique situation. It seems to get harder with each one....but it's very rewarding to place a baby where you're confident they'll have a good life. |
Do breeders ask about alternate care plans for pups in situations when placing with younger people? It could become standard language for anyone looking for a pup, the big What If questions. The breeder I got mine from went so far as to ask if my hubby and I had any future baby plans because that would factor into her decision about whether to place a pup... I have to say, I am a protection social worker, and the care and consideration that you are giving to your pups in finding them a forever home is comprable to what I do for a living!! :) |
sorry, I am a new member and shouldn't be fishing around the breeder talk...but while I am in here, what I was looking for is what is considered full term for a pup? How many days? Please & thanks!! |
