I just have a general question....I emailed a reputable breeder (a name that I got off this site, someone who is within driving distance to me) two weeks ago. I know that they are very busy and don't always have time to answer emails quickly.
What do you all think is a reasonable time to give someone to answer an email? I feel as if two weeks is long time, but of course I could be totally wrong. I was looking to add a puppy in two years. I know this sounds like a long time, but I wanted to get started early so I could plan ahead. I'm fairly sure my email will not be answered.
In my email I included a little about myself and the 'family' I have now and past pets I've owned. I'm not really sure what a breeder would be looking for from me. I added that I didn't care what color was available at the time, but I did prefer a female for a pet of course.
When I was looking for my first Cavalier, I emailed and called several breeders. One called back once but no return calls after that (I guess I don't interview well, I'm not sure), no return emails. Then unfortunately I ended up going to (unknown at the time) a backyard/puppymill breeder. I absoutely don't want to do that again.
So far Scout is very healthy, though she is only 13 months old. I want to make sure that I purchase as healthy of a puppy that I can for the puppy's sake.
I would certainly take any critiscism or information that is offered me as to the way I am approaching the situation. :flwr:
