How do you guys deal with this? I am pretty much crossing my fingers that this pup will be what I am looking for. If not I may end up wasting quite a bit of money :[ Also for those of you who have a specific look you want in a pup but have to place a non-refunable deposit on a puppy really early on (first few weeks) how do you go deal with that also?
I get that you can judge by parents but you never really know what you will get.
P.s if you're curious, I want a laid back, mellow, docile personality. Don't know if I will get it, but praying! :hands:
| Reading your last line I had to respond: I, too, wanted a mellow, laid back Yorkie...(my first)...I went to the breeder and sure enough she had a shy quiet little thing who sat quietly on my lap the minute I sat down on the floor. Went back a couple more times, same thing. Her littermates ran around and played, she was content to sit on my lap and watch. She was soooo laid back I actually had concerns maybe she was "sickly" - but I went ahead and got her: what a surprise ---- as soon as she got away from her domineering littermates she came into her own: she is now the alpha dog with the other dogs/demanding. That being said, I wouldn't trade her for anything in the world, but I can assure you, you can't tell initially what their personality will be. It is what it is. |
