I’m a sad little puppy today. I got an email from the breeder letting me know there wasn’t going to be a puppy for us from the current breeding. There were a lot of show homes in the bunch and understandably, breeders want to place their puppies in homes where their dogs are going to get exposure and the kennel’s name gets out there.

I completely understand, but it doesn’t take away from my disappointment. We had really gotten excited by the idea we might be getting a puppy in July. This was going to be the last breeding this year for this particular kennel so I have a choice now: Do I wait until the next opportunity with this particular breeder? (Who I genuinely like but he/she may or may not be breeding for quite awhile) or do I start over and try to forge a new relationship and get on another wait list?

I’m not sure what the best thing to do is. All I do know is there will be no pitter patter of little paws this July and who knows when the stork will come. Sadness…
