I bought a puppy around 4.5 months ago. I asked the breeder to pass my details on to anyone in my area who bought one of her siblings. He did and I managed to get in contact with a woman who lives 20 minutes away who bought my pups brother. We have exchanged tons of messages and photos and have had numerous phone conversations. We appear to get in really well and the woman even sent me a message saying that we have so much in common and she really hopes we can be good friends. Lovely ... except whenever I have tried to arrange a meet she has either made excuses or cancelled on me.
I’m really into the breed so have been attending breed meets with others in the local area. I always invite her but she either doesn’t reply or makes an excuse. Every now and then she’ll send a message saying “we really need to meet up!!” but when I make a suggestion she changes the subject or says she’s busy. I’m pretty flexible and can meet any day of the week ... I can also do the travelling and drive up to where she lives where there is a massive park but still she makes excuses.
I stopped asking her in the end and just carried on attending the breed meets in the area ... she’d send a message asking how pup is getting on and send me a pic of her boy so I’d send one back and she’d say “aww we really need to get them together!” ... I’ll send a message back saying “I’m free anytime ... “ no response. I’ll be specific and say “can you meet on a Friday?” And she’ll say “what time?” I say “10am?” And she says “aww I’m busy then!” ... so I respond ... “I can do any time on Friday! What time is best for you?” And she doesn’t reply! 😂
The pups are nearly 6 months old now. We’ve had them since they were 8 weeks.
Do I just give up or what?
Why wouldn’t she want to meet a pup from the same litter?! I don’t understand it.
