Well, when the people arrive bearing gifts for the breeder and video
equipment to tape the pups...stay for 3 hours instead of two...drive 8 hours
to my
house in the early summer thru the traffic, having to take time off from work
so they dont interfere with my show schedule...show up with bags of toys for
ALL the puppies...Dont ask
"how much are you asking" within the first 30 mins of the initial
conversation....dont ask "How big is he/she going to get?" within the first
HOUR of the
initial conversation....when they ASK to meet the dam (shows they are doing
THEIR homework)....when THEY ASK if the parents are OFA (see above)
when they see a puppypresent before YOU do and jump quick to pick it
up...when they arrive with a crate in the car, soft blankets and toys, a good
bucket
for water (all my puppy people brought bottled water)....but the best one of
all is when you place that squirming pup into the arms of a 6'4" man and you
see tears streaming down his face....you know you have found the "right one".
Good luck! Follow your instincts...Dawn Restuccia, Laxfield...
All good answers Dawn. I'll add just one; the person who calls after
loosing a much loved senior and can't get through the "do you have a puppy"
question without tears.
