@diff_eqs:
Ok… here's what is going to make you guys happy... Upon talking to some knowledgeable people (thanks to all), and doing some more research on the breeder, we have decided to not get that puppy. Although I am disappointed, I am glad that I did not make what could potentially turn out to be a really big mistake. I am going to call a couple of people though, not giving up yet. (Kathy, if you end up having a girl available, keep me posted, please!)
If we end up not getting anything this year, we are going to try breeding Lana again and keeping one of the babies for sure.
My thoughts are, "I think you made a wise decision"…...
