I searched out a tri color pem for my first AND a female (yea I know crazy she was the biggest girl). I LOVE her dearly and wouldn't trade her for the world but I should have knows when she would waddle away, lay down, go to sleep and they'd all follow and sleep on her. I've had quite a trying time with this girl but it's FINALLY paying off!
You are really trying to do things the right way, what I should have done! I SHOULD have gone to a better breeder that could have picked the right dog for me rather than going to the BYB and picking the dog myself. Don't get me wrong, I'd NEVER trade her for anything but I think my first personal dog owning experience could have been less trying had I done it that way. I would have had someone to run to for advice and such as well, the way I did it, I don't.
If your heart really says no, wait. I know how waiting is, I've been waiting on another dog and it's KILLING me (yes I've whined about that here enough). I have my heart set on a specific kind/breed of dog and I figure waiting will make getting THAT much sweeter in the end. (It is SOOOO very hard to wait!!!)
Whatever you choose, you will love them no matter what. And all I can really give is my sympathy, I do really know how you feel (yes there is more to my story but due to length of this post, I'll let it be with this). Good luck with your search, may it be shorter than you expect!!!
