Default Am I getting all worried for nothing?

I don't know if I am getting all worried for nothing. But, the lady that we were possible getting a puppy from still has never called us back. She had 2 litters due. One was due since last Wednesday and the other litter was due last Friday. She was supposed to call us to tell us when the puppies are born. Well, when my mom still has not heard anything by Saturday afternoon, she decided to call her to check. The lady told my mom that the puppies were running late and she was going to call us as soon as they were born. My mom did not want to feel like we were bothering her, she was just concerned about the safe arrival of the puppies. Here it is Wednesday, almost a week after my mom talked to her, and still no phone call back. I know the puppies had to be born by now. It is not like we were going to rush over there the second the puppies were born. We were going to wait at least a week, so everyone could get some rest. We are not calling her back again because we don't want her to think we are bugging her. I am just hoping she did not promise my mom a puppy over the phone and then not have any intentions of calling us back. Because I think it is wrong to get our hopes up for nothing. Because with 2 litters due, I would think we would have a chance of getting a puppy. I know I am just worrying for nothing. Big worrywart. I am just way too anxious. If this lady falls through, we still have 1 other lady in mind. Her yorkie is due New Years Eve. And we are second on the list for a female. (1 female is already promised to someone else) So, she would have to have 2 females in order for us to have one. You know I would be just as happy to have a male, if I could only convince my mom. She is the one so insistent to have a female. If it was a male, I would name him Chance. Please no bashing or negative comments. I am already depressed and grieving really bad right now with my first Christmas without my precious Lacey. I saw a yorkie on 7th Heaven Monday night, and cried for over 20 minutes.

I'm sure she will call you soon. With 2 litters due at the same time, you know she must be very busy. And this time of year we all are. Hang in there! Your phone will ring soon!

I agree. She is probably swamped with her new litters. I would give it a few more days, and then call and be polite but persistent. Good luck, I know you've been waiting for this for a while.

I know, I am just a huge worrywart. I guess because I had so many high hopes that turned out to be nothing but disappointments in the past. This lady seems really sweet. I went to high school with her son and were good friends back then. I don't remember his mom though even though I been to their home once. I graduated in 1994, so that is 11 years ago. I am just so anxious for that phone to ring with her name on the Caller ID! I feel like I am the one having a baby or something. It is like high school when you go on your first date and are sitting by the phone waiting for the guy to call you again.

Caring for pups and nursing moms the first few weeks is very time consuming, critical and a 24 hour a day vigilance for one litter let alone two.

I would only have phone contact with this breeder, verify you're on her list, request she call you when she is accepting vistors or ask for an agreeable time for you to call again.

Most breeders will not let visitors in for several weeks for health reasons "only to view never to hold" besides you can't tell quality or personality at this young age. It's best to visit when they're walking around being precious playful pups and they've had one vaccination.

I totally agree. Like I said, I know I am worrying for nothing. I worry about everything under the sun. We were going to go over to put a deposit only. When she calls us back, we were going to put a deposit, so we can get a puppy. We are not picking a puppy out almost until they are ready to go home. The lady over the phone advises not to just point to one and say I want that one! Because they change in apperance and personality as they grow. I totally agree with her. My mom said she really wanted a female. And the lady said we are on her list for a female. With 2 litters being born, it is almost a guarantee of having at least 1 female. And I don't want to go over too soon, only when the breeder says we can. I know she is tired. The mommy dogs are tired. The babies need rest. And most mommies are really protective over their babies and may snap at you. And I don't want to hold them too soon either. But, I can't wait to at least view their beautiful faces! I still never even got to see the yorkie mommies yet. Because it was too close to their due date and I did not want to make the dogs nervous or upset them. I am sure I will probably hear something by Christmas! But, I know it won't be for real until we actually get to give her a deposit to hold a puppy for us.

Waiting for news about a puppy is so hard. You just don't know whether you are bothering the breeder. Then, you wonder if they forgot you. Then, well, maybe, just one call..Lordy, the waiting is so hard, huh?
I hope she calls you soon. Does she have e-mail? maybe you could send a message and ask about how you are to get the deposit to her. Sometimes, that gets results a littl faster because the breeder knows for sure you are going to take a puppy..

I'd give her one more week and call. That would be my last call. She's probably been busy and is tired.

She does not have a website. And she never gave us an e-mail address. So, phone contact is the only way. She only lives about 5 miles from us. I just found out about her from word of mouth. She told my mom that she was putting them in the paper after they were born to collect deposits for anyone interested in the puppies. And since she said that we found out about her before, we would be the first ones in line. If she still does not call, and we see her ad in our local paper, then we will place one last one phone call. If it still falls through, we still got that one other lady in mind. She is not what you would consider a breeder though. Because she only owns 2 yorkies. 1 is a male and he is only 10 months old. (He is not the daddy, just her pet) Her other yorkie is a female and is due around New Years Eve. 4 puppies are expected. And we are second on her list for a female. She is our second choice if things don't work out with the previous breeder. I met her before and her dogs. She is really nice, her yorkies are so beautiful and well-kept. She takes excellent care of her 2 dogs and really knows her stuff.

I think it is a good idea to contact her and ask if you can send a deposit to her. This may insure that you get one. I'm sure she is busy but maybe the deposit will make you feel less nervous! Good luck I am praying for you to get your baby! Please keep us posted!!!

She is probably really busy. I know that feeling all too well when new one's arrive. It can also take an emotional toll on a breeder at times. However (I always have a "however" hee hee) I would go ahead and call her again. If she is dedicated to her clients and true to her word, she should speak with those who have been patiently waiting. Without folks like you, where would she be?

Still nothing yet. No phone call. This is what I am thinking. I think she may wait to call us right before she places the puppies in the paper. We are not going to give her a deposit until we can at least visit her home and check the puppies out. Whenever she gives us a call and sets up a time when we can meet, then we will go over there to see about giving the deposit. I am lucky she only lives 5 miles away. I just need to relax, take a deep breath and be patient. Hard thing to do when I am soooo excited to finally meet my baby! My mom says that this lady seems like the sweetest person over the phone. Plus my dad and her husband know each other really well. Worked together for years. So, I don't think she would tell my mom that we can get a puppy with her if she has no intentions on getting back to us. I am just going to try to relax about it and think positive thoughts. And knowing I have a backup person in case this does not work out, makes me feel a little better. This Christmas has been especially hard for me. We hung Lacey's ornament on our tree bearing her name in honor of her. But, we still could not bare to put up our dancing Christmas tree. That would make me cry. Because Lacey used to always bark at it and last Christmas she got brave enough to start swatting it with her paw. Such memories that make my heart melt!

I'm so sorry you lost your little Lacey and I know Xmas is a difficult time when you have lost something so precious. I think you are making a good decision on getting another Yorkie. I also think that the breeder is waiting a bit to make sure everything is okay with the puppies before she contacts you. I would wait until this Friday and then call her again. Have you thought of any names yet?

There could be a couple things going on here. One might be that if a pup or pups is having problems and she's having to bottle feed it every four hours, she may just not have gotten around to contacting you. The other is that she may simply have lost your phone number (assuming you aren't able to leave a message and phone number on her answering machine.) If you have an address, perhaps you could jot her a note and either mail it or leave it in her mailbox letting her know you're still very interested and please contact you at her earliest conveniece.

Good luck!
