Woohoo!! I just got email from my breeder... I've been approved to adopt! I can finally have an Irish Wolfhound!
The pups will be ready in March, so that allows me some time to
get ready for this HUGE (in so many ways) change in my life.
Even though the pups my pup will be ready in March, I will likely run
off to Colorado for a day or two next week. You know… meet the
breeder, connect with the pup, get pictures, put down the deposit, etc.
I'm not really looking forward to the expense of visiting, considering the costs of adoption, vet, AKC registration, FEEDING THIS HORSE OF A DOG!, etc. I just have to remind myself, though, that Colorado _is_ at the top of my "places to live next" list. Plus it's simply good form to meet the breeder face-to-face, since this really is the start of a life-long relationship (Irish Wolfhound breeders are especially into keeping tabs on their kids, to the point of my needing permission from them in order to breed my IW to another bloodline. I think this is a good thing, considering that the breed was all but extinct 50 years ago)
SO EXCITED!!
