Well another busy day was had here on the range. As expected, the selection process wasn’t easy. It rarely is! Watching people consider and ultimately select their pup though is one of my favorite parts of breeding. Generally, people are here for quite a while… the more pups to choose from the longer it seems. I love it though. It gives me a chance to interact with the people my babes will soon call family. It was a pleasure to finally meet Adelle and her family followed by Ashley. And I think we did a good job of wearing the boys out!!! They should sleep well tonight.
Following the selection of Tan by Adelle and White by Ashley, I took the girls out for their romp and attempted to get their weekly photos done. I’m still missing Pink and Orange was a bit short changed as well so maybe I can snap a few of them tomorrow while I get to work on the boys. They are at the age of being difficult; their Velcro-ness taking hold. Next week I expect even more of a challenge!
Some, or maybe all of you have noticed my name now appears at the top of the list for a female. A week or so back when I began making calls to arrange dates for people to come see the pups, I was informed my buyer for pick of the litter female had unexpectedly lost her job. Being in-between jobs, she felt there was too much up in the air at this time to purchase a puppy. I struggled with what to do… haven’t really been in this situation before. Not so close to the process of selection anyway. I've had a couple calls inquiring but didn't feel either was a good fit. And I've had a couple calls inquiring about males... I decided to assume the pick position despite the fact that I’m not exactly ready to take on the needs of a pup. I will do my best not to fall in love with her and for that reason, I hope a buyer comes quickly. I’m one though that believes everything happens for a reason. I had always kind of assumed I would keep one of Majestic’s pups but then Skye was returned to me, Ritz a planned purchase joined my crew and Getka came along as an opportunity I felt I couldn’t pass up. Then Galtero who was purchased for a bloodline to match that of Ritz and Getka. So… obviously, I don't need another youngster. When it comes down to it though, if there’s even the most remote possibility I end up keeping a pup from Majestic’s planned last litter, I need it to be the pup of my choosing. And like the others I find the task of selecting nearly impossible. Hopefully I can decide before Will gets here tomorrow. If not, I guess I’ll become number two on the list. Or maybe… just maybe someone will read this and scoop up the last pup of the litter.
