Needing Some Advice!

[Janet]

Oh, I've investigated, believe me. I'm so into wanting to improve my lines that I won't just purchase anything. I'm learning more and more everyday. Her reputation is she's done some underhanded things. I just don't know. I think I will go and see the puppy and parents in person and then just come right out and ask about the things I'm concerned about. I don't see any other way to come to a definite conclusion.

That first line sounded horrible, I'm sorry. I don't 'just anything', it's just that maybe some day in the future, like retirement (?) I may want to get involved with showing and I'd love to be able to show one I've bred. I'd have more time to do some traveling then, and it is something I'm interested in. I just don't want to start off on the wrong foot, although by then, maybe her reputation would be forgotten.

That would probably be best. This is a tough situation. You don't want to pass up an opportunity (especially if there really isn't a problem with the breeder) but you don't want to make a mistake with something so important to you. I think the breeder's side of the story will be a lot of help to you in making your decision. Good luck, girl! And remember, if it doesn't work out this time with this breeder and puppy, your perfect little (show quality) girl will still be out there waiting for you to come and get her!
