Well, I could resist the urge no more!! I had to phone the breeder tonight!!
Got through to her husband as she had "her hands full" with the pups!
The poor guy who is surrendering his dogs (we think) has still not made the final decision and the breeder does not want to phone him as he is under a lot of pressure at the moment with everything that is going on at home.
Poor guy.
The two Cockers are both blue roan dogs, and are seemingly absolutely fantastic boys who have been together since pups. The breeders husband remembers when they guy came in to buy them as pups a few years ago and he said that he was over the moon and still loves his dogs to bits. He just can't give them the time anymore. He was in floods of tears when he originally phoned her to ask if she could find a home for them.
I was on the phone gabbing to the breeders hubby for ages - they have 17 Cockers in their house at the moment (7 of them are pups though!!). One of their girls is in Crufts soon! He was telling me all about his other girls/boys who range in age from 2 - 12!
To top it all off - he has invited me and Paul to come for a visit anytime to meet them and their extended family! They only live about a 10 minute drive from me, so it took me all my restraining efforts not to jump in the car there and then!
He says that as soon as they hear back from the guy they know that I am here and there is a home waiting for the them.
I feel a lot better about it now, and will be patient however long it takes.
The best things come to those who wait!
