| You should gave her the benefit of the doubt . Something like that happened to me when I reserved a Yorkie puppy from a member of YT . Few days later , I received a phone call telling me that it was ok for me to see the pups . |

| I don't think you are mad, maybe a little upset you can't see your babies right now. But I wouldn't be too upset, she is taking care of her Mother. I would have asked her to please give me a call when it's a good time to stop by. I'm sure you wanted to see your litlle babies, I know I would too. But If my Mother was still alive, and I needed to care for her, she would come first. Maybe when you do go over, you can bring a disposable camera, and she can take pictures every few days for you. Hang in there, I'm sure she will call you back.

| I think what she said was a valid excuse maybe it just wasn't a good time. I also understand were you are coming from but you sould know that her mothers health is rather important. |

| Not at all. As excited as you are right now, you will have a long time in the future to spend with your magnificent new pup. This woman is taking care of her ill mother and you never know, she may be in her last days. Give her the benefit of the doubt. Having to take care of an ill parent is one of the most stressful ordeal's we'll have to go through in life. Your day is coming (to be with your new babies), so try to walk in this woman's shoes for now. Hey...maybe you could even offer to help her with errands or feeding the pups or something that would lighten her load. That way, you could even catch a glimpse of your little one.

| I think a flat-out "no" and "I'm busy" is kind of rude. I guess considering that she's caring for her mother who is ill and puppies, she could be a little tired and stressed, and it might not have occured to her that she was being rude. However, I would think that she could arrange a half hour or so in the next couple of weeks for you to stop by. That's a good suggestions to drop of a disposable and let her take pictures when it's convenient. It won't compare to being able to see your babies and hold them, but it's better than nothing. |

| pups How old are your puppies now? I allow people to visit at 8 weeks, 10 weeks and at 12 weeks most go home. Some do not ask to visit and some want to come every week..that does not work for me. I try to be open to visiting, but it can eat up alot of the breeders time. |

| dsrjrr, I agree you don't know what her situation is. For all you know, her mother is dying and won't live to see the puppies go to their new homes. Try to be patient. It's okay to call back in a couple of days and ask again to see the puppies. As rrosenberry said, if she rebuffs you at that point, ask her to call you when it *is* a good time. But, try to give her the benefit of the doubt! |

| I know you must be feeling very anxious and irritated bc you want to see your little girls but her excuse seems quite reasonable. My mum and her sisters have to take care of their mum and dad and it's a daily and quite exhausting responsibility. And she might be in her last days and even if she weren't it's her mother and I'm sure she will contact you as soon as she gets a moment to breath. I truly don't believe she meant any harm by it. I hope you get to see your babies soon!
