How many of you keep....
 
In touch with your breeder? I try to send an email with pictures every 6 mouths or so.. I know that if I was a breeder then i would like to know how the puppies were doing with their families..

Just wondering how many others do this :rolleyes:

FlDebra 11-28-2010 07:32 PM

I keep in touch by email and phone, plus I will see her every once in a while. She has been to my house and I to hers. She is a nice lady and so interesting to talk with. She knows her yorkies! I will be getting a Christmas card from her any time now. I look forward to it every year as she always uses a picture of her & her husband along with all of their yorkies!

WV~Yorkies 11-28-2010 07:38 PM

As a breeder I try to keep up with them. I send them emails every few months to see how everything is going. I tell them up front i want to be in there lives as long as they have my puppy.

Lizzie07 11-28-2010 07:41 PM

All my dogs are rescues, save one and I do keep in touch with her breeder. We are pretty good friends and she knows all about Opal. In fact, Opal was the first dog she bred with a performance title. Karen even has some of Opal's agility pictures on her website.

Mardelin 11-28-2010 07:41 PM

I keep in touch will all my families and vice a versa. I visit those that I placed in Texas and of course see the ones I placed here, since I offer free grooming for each pup I place.....

princessizzy 11-28-2010 07:43 PM

I think that's great!! I feel the same way and even thought she does not contact me... I would think she would like to know how Izzy is doing :) I mean that the least I can do for give me the most loving little baby in the whole wide world :aimeeyork.... We love our litle Isabella...

Sandysbabies 11-28-2010 08:44 PM

I do talk with the breeder pretty often. I always have some question I need to know. If I were a breeder I know I would always want to know about the babies I had placed. My problem would be I would never want to place any of them. lol!!!!!

Saeka 11-28-2010 09:11 PM

I usually send my yorkie's breeder a Christmas card, which always has my little girl with Santa on the front. :P

You and me both. I think I'll stick to owning, maybe enter agility with my munchkin, and then maybe obedience trials? Ha! I can dream right? :)

I recommended the breeder I got my Princess (miniature schnauzer) from to several friends and family members, I'm actually facebook (cheesy I know) friends with my breeder so we comment to each-other pretty often. I also stay in contact with the Rescue I got another of my dogs from and sent them update pictures and talked about his transformation (he was severely abused) about 6 months or so after I got Scoobers-I'm friends with the adoption coordinator and we're both animal rights advocates in a mutual non-prof so we keep in touch for other reasons emailing each other often. I had a really horrid experience with the person I got my Elvis from and have ceased all contact on my part-still I'm surprised she said she cared for him so much and never bothered to ask how he has been doing since...

107barney 11-28-2010 11:08 PM

We keep in touch with Teddy's breeder from time to time via email.

gemy 11-29-2010 03:20 AM

Yes either via personal visits, at shows together, training or emails.

cheryl19 11-29-2010 03:23 AM

I facebook Max owner so he sees how Max is doing and before I took him home I had Ivy with me to see if the two of them would get along so he meet Ivy too.

JERSEY BOY 11-29-2010 03:37 AM

I keep in touch with Brielle's breeder on YT and through e-mail.:)

abbey46923 11-29-2010 03:47 AM

Funny that this post has just come up. My babies will be leaving to go to their new homes this week and i have and will stress how important it is to keep in contact not only with me but with the stud owner.
I not only love knowing how they are doing, but it is important to know the health and temperment ect. of these babies so we know which direction to continue with our breeding's. Even if it is only a few times a year.

sadies mom 11-29-2010 04:15 AM

I've sent Sadies Pictures with a card or a note a few times. Sadie is the best dog I ever had, in every way and she is so adorable. I really thought he would be interested on her progress. He never responded so I stopped. His loss.

baby yorkie 11-29-2010 04:18 AM

I send pics and updates of Ally to her breeder. I actually called her when I was looking for another little one, but she didn't have a female so I looked elsewhere. She is so proud of Ally, she keeps her little photos on her frig. I have sent one pic of Tia to her breeder and will probably only send only one more to let them know how she is doing. I'm still upset that they adopted her out with some many medical issues that spread throughout my house and my neighbor's (who has cancer).

Maximo 11-29-2010 05:52 AM

Keeping in touch with your breeder is dangerous. It can lead to bringing home more Yorkies! ;););) We love Max and Teddy's breeder and send her periodic updates. I wish we lived closer so that I could have her teach me how to groom the boys.

Oh I'm sure!!

jencar98 11-29-2010 06:14 AM

I am friends with two of the breeders of my dogs. Ruby is from a puppymill so the only contact I would have with them would be to try and shut them down! I do keep in contact with Reno's breeder , sending pictures and seeing her at shows.

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♥

IamMiasmom 11-29-2010 06:45 AM

We send update pics and notes all of the time to Mia's birthplace. We state it that way, she doesn't know she is a d o p t e d.... We have also went out and visited with Beth and she sends emails. We feel blessed to know she cares enough to follow up. And I can't imagine not letting her know what Mia is doing and how she is progressing into a lovely adult girl.

fullmoonyorkies 11-29-2010 07:39 AM

I love staying in touch with the adoptive parents of my Yorkies.
It's like a great big extended family! And when they take the time
to send photos...woohoo...it's the best! I am totally appreciative. :D:animal36:D

deonk1 11-29-2010 08:14 AM

I give her a call every two months or so, I recommend her all the time, she is amazing. I'm trying to get a hold of her too, cause last year we brought her some fresh lobsters... lol I'm assuming she would like that again this year, heheh.

We treat our breeder quite well. :)

Patti 11-29-2010 08:19 AM

I stay in touch with Pixie and Roxie's breeder. We have become phone friends.

jacquelinebabco 11-29-2010 08:24 AM

I keep in touch with my breeders. I send pictures and emails all the time. I especially like the breeder I got Wyatt from.

Reinell 11-29-2010 09:33 AM

Now, I didn't get my dogs from what I call a proper breeder (I won't be doing that again, but circumstances made it so that we got our dogs from a Backyard breeder who was kind, careful, had some morals and standards but was likely in it mostly for the money) but I do send pictures and such as I think if I had adopted out a dog I would like to get updates. Without my permission she used one of the pictures I sent her as an update to a member of the same small-dog playgroup as a type of advertisement that I went back for another dog as I liked her dogs so much. Not sure how I feel about that. I got lucky, both dogs are healthy and happy and came well-socialized. Next time I am going with a registered breeder who selectively breeds and does complete testing for liver shunts, luxating patella etc.

Breny 11-29-2010 10:05 AM

One of the things I really cherish is all the wonderful new friends I have met by having my puppies join their family.
I would absolutely freak out if I was not kept updated, lol, as I form a very special bond with each of my babies. I look forward to seeing emails with pics from my babies. Its funny but each one has a totally different personality and I remember each one for something special he or she was special for while I raised them. I have lost contact with maybe 2 of my past pups and that really upsets me but I am happy for the ones that return my emails :)

MI Yorkielover 11-29-2010 11:20 AM

I keep in touch with and send photos to Sophie's breeder. I buy Sophie's grooming products from her and send Christmas photo greeting cards to her. She has always been very responsive and does a good job keeping in contact with us. She really cares about the quality of life her former puppies have and how they are growing up. She comments on every photo I send. We are thankful to her for our sweet little puppy :animal-pa

Rachael1983 11-30-2010 07:19 AM

I like to keep in touch with the breeder. I did with my cockers and I did so with Troy. Troy's breeder passed away a few months after we got him. I often times feel bad that we don't have a breeder to discuss Troy with. I did happen to find where Troy's father was rehomed and post on that breeder's guestbook every now and again.

TatumsMom 11-30-2010 08:10 AM

I know that I LOVE to hear from the new owners of our Aussie pups (who are a little over a year old now). They email us pictures and tell us how the dogs are doing with their trial (sheep and cattle) training. BUT I tried sending a Christmas card two years in a row to Tatum's breeder after getting her and never got any kind of response so I don't think she really cared much.
