You didn't upset me - and I appreciate the comment about my Sheltie. He was my baby! I had him for 11 years and he put up a great battle with his Diabetes for a good almost 5 years. He was such a good doggie! I miss him, you know? *wibbles* I have made arrangements to meet the breeder. We're going the first week of August, Beth, my mother and myself. We won't be picking Fynnlie up until the last week of August/first week of September. I spoke with the breeder again this morning and she apologized to me for her behavior and how she treated me. She said that she was really, really sorry and that she had excuses for how she acted but I told her I wasn't interested in them. (Of course I said it nicely, not flat-out I don't care.) I told her that the apology was accepted and that I still wanted her to answer my questions. Which she did, full out. She asked me questions, too. About my experience with small dogs, how long he would have to be by himself, if I planned to keep him groomed frequently. She also wanted the phone number to my Vet and I gave it to her. She asked about my other pets, previous dogs, my experience with taking care of dogs with possible health issues - I told her in detail about Jaxx, my Sheltie. I'm actually feeling a lot better about her now, after we've had this talk. I still don't feel 100%. Her attitude that day has just really put a sour taste in my mouth. But, I'm giving her a chance. We're going down the first week of August to see her home, her puppies and to spend a little time with the parents. I will keep you all abreast of the situation. Thanks so much for the support/advice/help with this. I really can't tell you how much I appreciate it.

| So glad to hear your experience with the breeder is taking a positive turn!! I will bet that your visit in August will assure you one way or the other on your decision. Good luck

| Yay congrats on Fynnlie!! I was about to post on here that you are ABSOLUTELY entitled to ask as many questions as you want! I was over at my breeder's house for 2 1/2 hours asking millions of questions and playing with the puppies until I felt comfortable enough that she was reputable. In fact, any respectable breeder would be beyond HAPPY if they were selling their puppy to someone who had that many questions....it shows you have a true intent of caring for this pup and that you are serious in caring for their well-being! Good for you for asking those questions and I'm glad you had a great turn around in the end, can't wait to see pics of your new addition!!!
