kelpiecuddles Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 My next puppy isn't even conceived yet, nor will it be most likely for at least another 6 months or so. but every day, usually more than once I spend much time contemplating my new pup, what's s/he'll look like, how I'll train and whether we will get the boy we are hoping for. I feel like I'm clucky for a new baby :laugh: Figure this is the only place I can really share my irrational need for my new puppy that doesn't exist yet without sounding like a total weirdo LOL. Most people I know in real life would just tell me to look in the paper and buy one but i keep explaining to them why I won't do that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WreckitWhippet Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I hope it all works out then, especially if you are getting one with the intention that it be of show potential, as it's often a road paved with disappointment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) It is hoped it will be show potential but I'm actually not that interested in showing, will campaign the dog as I think that's what the breeder would like but I'm more interested in training for trailing so if he's no good as a show dog in the end it doesn't matter :) Edited June 21, 2014 by kelpiecuddles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WreckitWhippet Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I wouldn't get my hopes up until puppies are on the ground, the breeder has made their choices and you actually have a puppy to take home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) Nothing is set in stone of course but we were offered one from the last litter and declined as the timing wasn't right and once again we have been contacted to see if we would be keen for one from this planned litter. :) So as long as everything goes well with the litter we should be OK :) And as he knows we are be very patient so if something happens and she doesn't fall or whatever then he knows we will wait for the next litter how ever long that may be :) Edited June 21, 2014 by kelpiecuddles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixeduppup Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) Very excited for you. I hope everything goes smoothly and in 8 or 9 months we'll be seeing a heap of new puppy photos! ETA: oops! reread a year or so not 8 or 9 months lol Edited June 21, 2014 by mixeduppup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 Gosh, when you say it like that, 8 or 9 months. It's like being pregnant LOL (I remember how long that dragged on for!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 Could be sooner, could be longer. He'll breed her on her next heat, which actually may even be in 4 months or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixeduppup Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) What colour could it be? What colour are you hoping for? I assume this is a basset yes? Edited June 21, 2014 by mixeduppup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelpiecuddles Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 In his words, "There could be some very promising puppies in this litter, especially if you like tricolours" I know who the parents are to be and they are both stunning tris :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 What's your problem WIW? If you don't like the thread just don't read it. I thought others might share similiar things regarding puppies they are planning for or maybe people might just, shock horror, SMILE. But we wouldn't want anyone smiling on DOL would we?

Simply Grand Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 The wait will make it all the more rewarding when it finally comes to fruition! Working in a shelter and sending people home with their new adoptees, I'm constantly reminded how exciting it is to bring home a new dog or puppy and I keep being jealous coz it will be a while before I get another of my own :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignore the killjoys. Puppies are exciting! Especially ones that have been planned for so long. The excitement just builds up! And basset puppies are adorable!
