I would greatly appreciate some opionions on usual and customary breeder/puppy buyer relations. I have heard from most to let a puppy choose you. So I read about assessing puppy behaviors to be somewhat prepared. I talked to the breeder about the puppies. What I noticed was there was never talk about my choosing a puppy. I inquired again.... do I choose or do we choose together based upon your experience placing puppies with families? Basically, each litter is evaluated and then from there we would talk about choices. Then I was told a number of weeks ago there were pups available but they were most likely show quality, but I would be kept posted. Now, a number of weeks later I get a message, your pup is ready to go home. Obviously, there is miscommunication, but again this is my first experience. I am beginning to feel like I will never have very good communication with this breeder. I am not trying to malign. This person was highly recommended.I just have no other experience for comparison. Is it typical for a breeder to say "This one is yours"? Please advise....don't make me go to Newf-L....I'm just a lurker there and they scare the @#$% out of me
