Etiquette Question

OK so I'm tryin to wait patiently until i can bring my Little Puppy home, he breeder want sto wait until she's 10 weeks before she comes home which is still about 3 weeks away. So just wonering would it be okay to ask to have "puppy visitation" a few times in the mean time? They only live like 5 minutes away from us and I dunno if I can last 3 weeks without seeing her little face, plus I forgot to take pictures when I picked her out. I wouldn't be over ther everyday but maybe like once a week?? Is that rude to ask, or would I be intruding since the puppies are in their home? Any thought are appreciated. Thanks

All the breeder can say is NO.
I'll bet if given ample notice they would certainly allow this. It's nice to have pictures when they are that small. I'd call and see if you can set it up!

Kudos to your breeder for wanting to keep the puppies until 10 weeks! I wish more breeders would do the same.

I'm sure your breeder would actually appreciate the visits! We reserved Juno when she was 2 weeks old, and the breeder flat-out told us she wanted us to come visit at least a couple more times before it was time to bring her home. As long as you give them plenty of notice, it should be all right.

We asked our breeder if we could do this before we brought Kona home and she was more than happy for us to visit. We'd just give her a call the day before to see if it was an okay time for her.

I hope the 3wks goes quicly for you

It's like waiting for Christmas when you are a child isn't it!

If you get to go visit, which I'm sure the breeder will allow this unless there is something to hide, take pictures! I would love to see your little baby! I love looking at everyone's boxer pictures. Isn't that funny, when you have a boxer it's so fun to see other people and their boxers too!
