well, the puppy expedition did not result in instant gratification. they showed me some available female dobermans, but none of them were what i was looking for. the first one they offered was a little aggressive and bossed the other puppies around....since sascha is not a dominant dog, i didn't think that one would work out. they showed me a second puppy, but she wasn't much into playing and didn't really seem to connect with me.
finally, they bring out this sweet red puppy....her tail was wagging and right away she was licking my face. when the other one barked and growled at her, she just sat down....didn't fight back or anything. so of course, i'm thinking "perfect". but, unfortunately this dog hadn't been cared for properly by her previous family (she was 12 weeks old, the others were 9 weeks). i called my vet to discuss the situation, and he recommended not taking that dog since she could have the potential for so many problems later.
so, i left a deposit, and they have more puppies coming the first week of january. i'll go back up and take a look. hopefully sascha will have a little sister by the end of jan. if you want to see, you can look at the kennels website.
