Which breeder would you choose? (dog) hypothetical

[minisaremighty]

I think that man is going to strangle the daylights out of me yet.

: No he's not Marty! If I was a breeder of his caliber I would be VERY understanding and happy that you are being so cautious. I would know that if/when you do decide on a pup, you would be the best mommy ever. You are not rushing into it and that's very important to a breeder. No breeder wants someone to just rush into buying their beloved puppies.

I thought for sure I was driving my breeder nuts by visiting her place 3 times (for almost 2 hours each time!) and still asking tons of questions. Then after I decided on waiting for a puppy, I've been in touch weekly (and let's see that's been 6 weeks ago!). I told her I hope I wasn't bugging her and she told me she's more than thrilled that I'm taking such an interest. Most people that want a pup from her, they call once, get on the list and she never hears from them again until she calls them to tell them the pups are here. Not me! I intend to be there when both litters are born, too, since she invited me.

:

If he truly loves the breed as much as I think he does, he'll enjoy you visiting any time! Regardless of how wishy washy you think you are being

: Go back a few more times and just see what happens. Nothing says you have to make up your mind NOW. Give it time.

Marty,

I'm sorry, but I agree with Karla too.

Here is part of a quote:

A new dog never replaces an old dog;

it merely expands the heart.

If you have loved many dogs, your heart is very big."

Erica Jong

We all know how big your heart is Marty, when your ready, I hope you let another dog share your life. Follow your heart.

Awww...I am glad you got to hug a puppy Marty and to be honest I don't think I have ever picked out any of my dogs or puppies they always pick me LOL as for what breeder? I would go with my gut feeling, I usually listen to that.

Go get the puppy from breeder #1. There are enough genetic faults in the German Shepherd breed, and atleast he admits the the breed has its flaws.

Jerry took me on a road trip today to look at GSD puppies, and guess what happened?
Then I saw a wonderful bouncing baby girl that came right over to me and began to pull at my shoelaces.

I picked her up and held her so close.

And then I patted her on the back like I was burping her.

She was wonderful.

I got all misty.

I showed her to Jerry.

He smiled.

He asked me if I wanted that one.

I said no.

I put her back down and we left.

I'm just not ready at all.

I think that man is going to strangle the daylights out of me yet.

It's hard being me.

Marty you have me in tears... God bless you!!!!! and when you ARE ready, i will have tears then too but they will be happy ones.
