Sigh. Well, it looks like it's not going to work out.  :-[ Even though it's been two weeks since she she told us we could have him, we still haven't been able to work out any type of arrangement to pick him up. We've offered several times to come get him at any time- weekend or weeknight (it's a 2 hour drive each way). And, nothing. No suggestions of a time or a place to get him, just "we're working on it" and now hubby and I are starting to feel like we're just being strung along. So yeah. We haven't completely given up, but we're pretty close. We've filled out some rescue applications and will send them off at the end of next week if we don't hear something more definitive than "we're still trying to figure out a time". But hey, maybe it will still work out. Maybe it won't, but if nothing else, it made hubby and I more determined.

make sure she does not have a contract.
most breeders require the dog to go back to them, this is so they can rehab, train, groom and get the right owners for the dog.
if a contract is involved and the breeder finds out the dog was rehomed without contacting them, there could be trouble.
a contract is there for the protection of the newfs, and the breeders that have this stand behind and protect their babies.
