Getting a new pup in the next few weeks
Hello everyone- this is my very first post ever, so I hope I'm doing it in the proper place. My family consists of myself, my hubby (a composer and pianist), my 4 kids (ages 7-13) and our 2 beautiful mini Rex bunnies that we adopted from a shelter 2 years ago. I work as a music teacher during the day, but my hubby stays at home and home schools our youngest 3 (the oldest is in school). Our home is fairly bustling, with lots of friends and family in and out. But we also love to just settle down and watch movies or play games together, too. And of course, there is a ton of music at all times.
I've been wanting a dog since, well, since I was a kid, but have always been told no. However, my husband ( he no man) has finally relented and we have a deposit and are on a few lists for a F1b mini. We're trying to be patient, let the breeder largely guide our decisions, and make the best choice for our family. It's hard!! We are low on both lists, so it's hard to fight that last pick feeling.
Not even sure if I'm asking a question so much as saying hello and wanting to show the pic of our (for now) top choices. There are 2 each from 2 litters. We visit tomorrow and spend time with the most current litter, to see which two puppies are left of the 8, and to also see the 6-week pups who are in the next litter. If we choose from the first, we could take the pup home immediately. If we wait, it will be till January 11 or even early February if we wait for the 3rd litter.
It can feel overwhelming, and I start to feel a lot of pressure to pick the perfect one, but after read several posts here, I'm making myself relax and just enjoy and trust the breeder and
Any tips as we head to the breeders tomorrow are welcome. Our initial desires are a female wavy, not too big, middle of the road temperament so she could play with the kids, but also just chill out and snuggle on the couch. Gender, though, is not a deal breaker, but in general we don't love the super curly pups.
Looking forward to learning more on this awesome site!
