I got the good news the litter in AZ is expected April 12. The female is great solid body and eyes like my last dog. I looked at the line of the male and the litter truly can be any color. We will be gone until the 15th so I won't be able to post news until after then of litter results. It is the 4 week mark that I'll want photos to see the colors that do arrive.
There are a couple other beauties being bred in April and or June in AZ for you interested cardigan owner desirees from the great breeders there.
Glad you found this breeder even though you missed out on the show. I ordered the newsletter from the group down here and it was great to see the winners on the January show I missed.
Just had to post my good news as this was a "good news" thread.
One question you might ask is what other breeders does this one work with. By seeing the lineage of the parents you get an idea too. The breeder I'm using is good friends with a very long standing breeder who I have a lot of respect for and would have gotten my puppy from, but the timing was not right.
I'm so glad you get to see the dogs in person. I can see your family leaving the home with big grins and sighs. Have fun!

The gal flaked. I guess she is in the middle of moving, but said to call her when I got up to her area today. We got up there around 12pm, called... no reply. <note: it is a 2 hour drive there and 2 hrs back... in the car, with a not quite 2yr old> Called a few times, left messages and various phone numbers where we could be reached. /end rant
Finally, we had to catch a 4:30p ferry

to get back home. Still no word.
Seriously, I am... dissappointed to say the least. This gal has been overly helpful and nice over the phone and via email. She is obviously passionate about her crew and has several champions. She says her house is a big "kennel" and her dogs are family, so they are indoors with she and her husband.
Sent her a short email, letting her know we were up in the area, sorry we missed her and hope to hear from her soon.
She has just been so good about email and calling, that I'm kind of worried that maybe something happened to her or her family??
I'll keep ya'll posted..... the hunt continues....

Somebody help me find the right puppy!!
Too many emotes?
