All my fretting and back and forth about which breeder to go with has been pointless. Breeder #2's dog is not pregnant so there's no decision to be made. I was sad at first, but then realized I didn't feel that upset since I was still really excited about getting a puppy from Breeder #1. The decision was such a tough one for me all along. I instantly felt a connection with Breeder #1 and her dogs so I do not feel like I am settling for second best at all. She might not feed raw, but I will once the pup comes home. She might not follow Dr. Jean Dodd's vaccination schedule, but I can once the pup comes home. And, it turns out that several dogs in her line have also lived several years past the average. It just never came up before! Actually, it's kind of nice to have the decision taken out of my hands. I know I will be very happy with one of her pups.
Now it's time to make a list of all the things I want to do to socialize the puppies while they are still with their litter mates. It's going to be amazing to see the puppies right from the start.
Only two weeks to go then be prepared for photos galore!

Even though you preferred Breeder #2, you'll be able to socialise with Breeder #1's puppies before you get yours, so you'll already have the bond when your pup ocmes home. It's not the end of the world, especially since you liked both breeders anyway :)
Dang, after all that hand-wringing and everything, haha. I'm looking forward to the pictures and progress reports!
I always over think things anyhow and most of the time it ends up being a waste of time.
Definitely far from the end of the world since I loved this breeder and her dogs from day 1. And the choice between the two was such a coin toss anyhow.
