They seemed really excited about her but I encouraged them to take some time to sleep on it and talk about it. To visit other breeders and make sure that they were 100% sure about whichever puppy they get, not to just get one because they want a puppy or are tired of looking. They live in a small town near me and said they have seen sooo many breeders there with dog after dog in crates in the barns and garages. That was just heartbreaking to hear. They said they have been looking for 6 months and have been saddened by what they have seen. I told them to take their time thinking about it and to let me know whenever they decide, that there was no need to rush into the decision since she couldn't leave for another month anyways. So we will see what they decide. I will let you guys know if they contact me back. I did not give them a time limit but did ask them to let me know as soon as they make a decision, even if it is not Minnie so that I would not be waiting. I want the right family, not first come first serve so to me they are worth waiting for.. For Minnie's sake..:D
| What a good mama. When I got my Jasper I did so much homework on raising Yorkies, and never thought about the breeder aspect until after I got him and read some of the horrifying stories. Now that I think about it, my breeder had me meet her in a local parking lot, I know now that should have been red flag #1, and certainly will in the future. More breeders should be responsible as you, you set a great example! Shows you do it for the right reasons. |
