Someone mentioned being on waiting lists for litters that ended up being small litters, so they didn't get a puppy. This brought a few questions to my mind...
Not knowing how long it'll be til I'm able to get a puppy I often wonder when it's the "right" time to check out breeders. Is it a "turn off" when you tell them you have no idea when you'll be ready for a puppy? Can you be put on a waiting list and turn down a puppy and still be on the list? I've heard of people that it's taken like 2 years to find a breeder and get a puppy...so I'm worried if I don't start looking NOW, that when the time comes I'll be waiting forever! I'm also not sure how to handle looking "seriously" at more than one breeder. Is this frowned upon? I'm to the point now where I'd like to start looking, I'm just not sure of what the "etiquette" is! HELP!!!!!!
