So August 16th is the day my husband and I will go and meet our breeders' puppies, they'll be 6 weeks old. She has 5 pups. 3 boys (1 fluffy) & 2 girls.
I feel lucky that we'll be able to pick our pup (of course the breeder will know which ones she is keeping) but we'll have the option to look at least 3.
Of course, the breeder will also know the personality of the dogs and will be able to match one to our lifestyle... but how does one meet puppies?
Is it true the pup will pick us?
I'm quite nervous about it all because it's been 6 months since we first contacted the breeder (and met her and the dam in May) and I'm just so anxious to know who our dog will be! So i know i have to squash all of that and definitely be calm (& assertive) when we are there.
And my husband and I have had in our mind that we want a boy and a non-fluffy, but I'm also trying to get all of that out of our heads because I'd be happy with any puppy as long as it is a match to us.
We are bringing the pup a present with us. I have a small organic cotton dog bone, that we've been keeping in our bed, so the pup will have our smell and the pup will be able to gets its' mom and litter mates smell on it, so it'll have it when we bring it home (which won't be till it's 11 weeks -- i'm losing my patience! :) )
(I just had to change all the him/his to its)
I just saw the 4 week old pictures and I just love them all.
So any tips or advice are much appreciated.
