On the advice of a friend in the kennel club - she has been in dogs for ever - I contacted a miniature poodle breeder near here. I had three male shih-tzus and lost the older one to congestive heart failure earlier this year. She suggested that I introduce a female miniature poodle. So I paid her a deposit of $250. However, she doesn't seem very good an answering emails. I had asked her if she had a photo of the puppy and she said she would get one when she groomed the puppy.
I saw her this weekend at the dog show. I didn't ask for the photo.
She has agreed to keep the puppy until it has had its three parvo shots because my son's dog was here last August when we discovered he had parvo. I offered to pay for the extra parvo shots and asked her what arrangements she wanted - like did she want money for keep etc.
The puppy will not have its three parvo shots until the end of July. Should I just shut up and not bother her until the puppy is ready to go? Of course, I'd like it earlier but I am not prepared to take a chance with parvo. I'd like to get updates - at least see a photo, but as she doesn't answer my emails sometimes - I don't want to be a pest.
