The Arrival!!

Shelby gave birth to six wonderful puppies last week and today I got the call from Sally to pick one out!! Picked a beautiful tri colored female and could not be happier. I'll post pictures as soon as I can. I'm soooo excited!!

Good news!

The breeder sent me an email this weekend with the good word: She will be having a litter at the end of February! Well, not her exactly, but her corgi of course. That is such exciting news. It still means that after they're born it'll be a wait to take him/her home,  by my calculations that's about the end of April or early May. I think that's the perfect timing. Enough time to have some more winter fun and time to get my place looking more like someone actually lives there. Yeah, been in the place for a couple months now, but I've just been procrastinating. I have all these grand plans and then I come home from work and just lay on the couch. Now with this news it's time to start moving and getting off the couch!

Responses!

The responses have started coming in :) At first I was a little worried. The only news I got was that a couple breeders were not going to have litters until late next year or 2013. That was such a long time! Patience prevailed and soon there were some responses from people that have puppies now (unfortunately that's too soon) and a few who will have puppies in the spring (perfect timing).

Now, just trying to explore all the options and find the best match with the breeder. Does anyone have any tips? What should we be looking for? What questions should we be asking the breeder? I want to be able to make an informed decision, not a haste one because I want a puppy.

A couple have offered to let meet the prospective parents of the puppies, which I think is a good idea, right?

I'm so excited but nervous as well.
