Well, waiting just isn't going to happen...

[LIL MIS' MAGIC]

Congrats on the new baby!! I can only imagine how excited/nervous you are...can't wait to see pics of her....

Hey everyone....

well, I wish I had better news but it doesn't look like it's going to work out with this puppy. I'm sad over it and really wish things could be different, but it just wasn't meant to be I guess. The breeder is not returning our emails at this time, we may still hear something tonight but as of now, nothing. It's giving me a funny feeling and maybe if it doesn't work out it's for the best. That just means there's another baby out there that needs us more. We're still using that name though, it's just grown on us, and we're hoping someday Bella finds her way to us.

Thank you all so much for your kind words and thoughts, keep your fingers crossed that someday soon we get our precious baby girl.

Sorry to hear that it not working out. Did you try calling her over the phone? I know how it is to get all excited about something and not having it work out. I hope she did not promise you the puppy and then go ahead and sell her to someone else. Because I think that is wrong. I love the name Bella. I wanted to use it someday for my yorkie baby. But, I can't. I have a 3-year old little cousin named Isabella. And she goes by Bella for short.

Oh, you're just worried for nothing!! I bet the breeder has a house full of puppies and just hasn't had the time to check her email! Think possitive thoughts!

[Care28]

We actually did try calling her, no answer. I hope I am just worried for nothing...but something's felt odd about this all day. Hoping it's just my nerves.

[chachi]

I hope you hear something soon. I know you have your hopes up.

[cajungal]

I would not give up just yet. Just keep calling her. She just might be really busy and has not had time to reply back. If a week goes by and still nothing, then I would start the search up again. Don't worry little Bella will find a way to you soon. Everything happens for a reason and every thing in the end usually ends up work out.

Congratulations! Bella is a beautiful name! Can't wait for you to get her home and post picts.

Well, after reading the second page...I hope that you hear something soon. An emergency could have come up, someone in the hospital, you don't really know till you hear from her. Keep us updated!

[Care28]

She just called, she's had other offers for the last two females that she has. Sooo, we're back to looking. Probably going to hold off looking for a while...this has just about drained me. I'm sad, but really okay, I know that our baby is out there somewhere and she'll find us and we'll find her. Kelli came to us as the biggest blessing we've probably ever had, I know Bella will do the same.

I do have a question though. When you buy from a breeder, aren't they supposed to offer you some sort of health gaurantee for a period of time? I have never bought from a breeder before and will be sure to research better this time so I know exactly what to expect, and so this doesn't happen again.

[Sherry Lynn]

Do a search for Health guarantee and you'll pull up lots of info. There are some excellent breeders with great advice.

Sorry about Bella.

BTW- I have a friend who named her daughter Cella (pronounced Chella) and I love it!

So sorry to hear the news Did this woman know you planned on getting this little one tomorrow and sold her out from under you? You said in your first post that she offered you a pup from her mid-January litter. Does that offer still stand or do you no longer want to deal with this lady. Just wondering if maybe now wasn't the right time but she may be the right breeder. You know how you feel about her though, so if the feelings aren't good, considering what happened, then I'd look elsewhere. Don't give up though, your little Bella is out there somewhere just waiting for her Mommy

Congrats to you! How exciting! What a fun filled Christmas you will have! I'm so happy for you!

[Care28]

Oh I'm not going to let this little setback discourage us at all. No way. I know that Bella is out there waiting for us somewhere, or maybe even a little bitty boy that needs our love and care. We will find our prince or princess soon enough. We're definitely going to do our research this time, lots of things fell apart with this breeder, she wouldn't answer our questions and then at the last minute gave us a different price than what she originally stated. Plus not giving any sort of health gaurantee scared us a little bit.

We're going to find someone more reputable, and someone that's more willing to answer our questions (which were VERY simple, nothing complicated and we didn't even ask that many) and just be more accessible with everything. Thank you all for your words...I'm not going to let this get us down. We've had enough loss and heartache this year, can't let something else push us down.

[cajungal]

Good for you. You are very strong. This breeder shoudn't have told you that you could pick her up in a couple of days. Then after telling you that, still taking other people's offer. And she should have a set price and not keep changing it. It should be who can offer a really good home, not who can pay the most. I am glad you are not giving up with your search. Kelli is truly an angel right now and she wants you to be happy and not lonely. I am sure my yorkie Lacey and Kelli are now at Rainbow Bridge keeping each other company. So, I am sure you will find your baby soon. I am a little nervous too. Because our puppy is due today and the lady almost promised us a female. She said she will adverstise in the paper when the pups are born for deposits. But, since we found out about her Before she put them in the paper, I hope she does not sell our female to someone else. I still did not get to see her yorkies yet. We are going to try over the weekend and give her a deposit once the pups are born. I am worried too that she will try to sell our female to someone else. I can't get this far and get let down once again. Anyway, good luck to you in your search!
