Jarvis Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 (edited) Hot chilli, I was like you, never had a dog before so didn't know if I was doing something wrong. I emailed a few people and never heard back. The breeder we are getting our dog from said she doesnt like email, she likes to talk on the phone to get a better feel for the person. So definitely try to call them if there's a number listed. Eventually did hear from most of the breeders I contacted...they must just be very busy people! Often out at shows etc!! Good luck in your puppy hunt. Edited August 21, 2011 by Jarvis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Chilli Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 mish13 - just saw the pics of your beautiful Newfy in the breed thread, so adorable!!! Thanks for the PM Jarvis - I was wondering if phoning was better but with 2 little kids a quiet moment is very hard to come by! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dant Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Aaaaah! So cute antlewry... I still have 5 weeks to wait for my little cocker boy. But next weekend we get to go and meet all the pups and the breeder. Really looking forward to it. Thanks!! I don't know how we're going to wait 4 weeks. We just want him home already!! We drove up to Newcastle yesterday to meet the breeder and I have never felt happier in my life - you won't want to leave!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetson Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 We picked up our little girl yesterday. It's been a bit hectic since. She is gorgeous though. Very friendly and good with the kids. We are currently having some quiet time with my son asleep, the other sitting quietly, jetson our older dog asleep on the couch and rocket the puppy asleep in her crate. All good.

Katie P Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 How exciting!! Heading closer and closer to your pick up dates!! Unfortunately I found that many breeders did not respond to emails I then phoned them after 4 weeks or so and they proceeded to tell me they prefer to be contacted via email......

Tara8430 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I'm still trying to find out if my breeders dog is pregnant! Anyone know at how many days the vet can confirm pregnancy? I last heard from the breeder a month ago saying they were just about to mate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its about a month or so after they are mated they can be scanned/xrayed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
