How many of you keep....

With mine, I sent out emails checking to see how all my "new parents" were doing at 3,5 and 7 months. At 9 mos I asked for pictures and sent out a collage to everyone. Some of my parents were curious as to how their puppy looked in relation to its siblings. I LOVED it because I got to see how all my little ones had grown. They are not Yorkies, they are Papillons so I have not talked about them on here. The closest puppy lives 45 min away but most are scattered through North and South Florida. I do not get to see them in person so a picture is great.

I cannot imagine why a breeder would not want to see how the baby they helped grow is doing.

Levi's breeder I have not kept in touch with at all. On the other hand, Lily's breeder is a member here and has become one of my good friends. I bring Lily to visit her at work from time to time so she can see how she is changing and growing. I also was able to meet both of Lily's parents before I got her.

Razz's breeder (Tammy), and I stay in contact through YT and FB on almost a daily basis....I love it! I've never known a more caring, devoted breeder than Tammy. When she asks that you send pictures or stay in touch, it is not just talk....she *really* wants you to stay in touch. We talk and compare Razz to his mom, Livi, discuss his endearing personality, and how much we both love him♥

Jen, you know me....all teary-eyed now. It has been a blessing to have found the awesome homes that I did for Livi's babies!! I *KNOW* how incredibly loved and spoiled they are and, on a personal note, I have created such great friendships with their mommies! I speak to you, Ann and Sherri all of the time and I LOVEEEEE it!! I am also spoiled to get updates from Dana about Wrigley (Livi's first baby).

I can't imagine not keeping in contact with the new owners. I save each and every one of the pictures that are sent to me. I then go back and look at them MANY more times! LOL!!

I don't really keep in touch with Layla's breeder. I have tried. I've sent pictures and updates and would just get a "Oh she is beautiful" answer, but nothing more. She never tried to contact me at any point.

When Layla was paralyzed with her disk disease I did get in contact again, to let the breeder know that she has a genetic disorder. I wasn't looking for money or anything, just to give her the information because, obviously, it should be a big deal to the breeder. I definitely wasn't looking for what she said to me... that she was very sorry but she would give me a 7 year old recently-retired breeding dog to replace Layla! I have not contacted her again, and I will not.
