Baileys mum Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Hi everyone, So my litter of puppies will be 5 weeks old Tomorrow & some of my future puppy owners have started to visit to pick out their puppy. I had a lovely family here yesterday (2 gorgeous little girls & their mum )& I was very pleasantly surprised when they handed me a lovely bunch of flowers & some choccies to thank me for all the hard work I'm putting into raising & looking after their puppy. They then gave Brandy ( the mother of the pups ) a brand new squeeky toy to thank her aswell. I just thought it was a lovely gesture & it really made my day... The only thing I ask from my puppy owners is the promise they will provide a good home for the puppy & I certainly don't ask or expect any thanks for raising the litter, but it did feel nice that they recognise that raising a litter isn't easy & its alot of hard work,...& they made Brandy & myself feel very appreciated.

What a lovely lovely thing to do!!!! I am actually quite taken aback and it didn't even happen to me! lol That's is such a nice gesture! And if they put that kind of thought and care into their pup I am sure they will be GREAT! owners!!! Really nice thing to hear!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brennan's Mum Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Lovely, thoughtful idea I didn't give my breeder anything other than money when I picked up Brennan. However the breeder likes for her pups owners to return around the dogs First birthday so she can have a look. When I took Brennan I took her a photo of Brennan at One years old and I also took my photo album and let her look through at her growing up. She was really surprised that she got to keep the photo of Brennan. However I am eternally grateful to her because with out her work ( and boy is she one hard-working woman) and of course the Sire and Dam then I would not have my beautiful girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaar Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Oh wow, how lovely! People often think breeders just let the dogs together, then 9 weeks later, hooray puppies. It's nice to see you get appreciated for your hard work... and it is that... hard work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paptacular! Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Awww that's lovely! I'll get to see one of my puppy's mums on Friday for our uni graduation, so I'm hoping she will bring some photos along of Mikey settling in with his new best friend, her 12 year old daughter.

Bilbo Baggins Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 BM that was so thoughtful of them, brought a little to the eye. I have been given some chocolates when a pup has been picked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mita Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 That's a lovely story. Not only is that family thoughtful, but they're on to something! The thought & love & care that goes into breeding/raising puppies is priceless. It sets the pup's development on a strong base for a great adult dog. What a nice way to say 'Thank you!'....chocs & flowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puglvr Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 It is a lovely thought. I recieved flowers and a card (written by the "rescue girls) Thanking me for looking after them and their babies from their new mum Lorraine when they came to take them home. Perfect home for two very special girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdoubleJ Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 One of my pet people, when they picked their puppy up brought a Beagle Diary. Their daughter had seen it and said they had to get it for me. :-) They also brought a bag of treats for Chloe, their pups mum..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
