So many of you have been wonderful by giving me advice and leads regarding Maltese. After following up on many of those--I found the perfect situation. A 3
year old 4 lb. retired Champion female Maltese--exactly what I have
been searching for. Perfect age, size, etc. After talking back and
forth with the breeder/owner, I was so excited and ready for my new
baby!
During our last conversation, the owner asked about other dogs at our
home. I honestly told that we do have a shorty Jack Russell who
stays outside. (This type of Jack Russell is much more calm than the
traditional Jack Russell--the body type is short and stocky, and the
temperament is more even and sweet-tempered.)
Then, at the last minute, the owner decided that we were not the
right family. The owner was too frightened that something would
happen to the Maltese because of the shorty Jack Russell who stays
outside.
I am completely devastated! I had everything ready for my new baby,
I even got one of those cute little purses to take her around in --
My husband and brother were in the room with me when I got off the
phone--they thought someone we knew had passed away because of my
reaction.
Although I do completely understand where the owner was coming from,
and that they believed they were acting in the best interest of the
Maltese, it still hurts.
I'm still looking for my perfect baby--and I'll keep looking--I know
that MY MALTESE is out there waiting for me to come get it!
Hopefully, one day, I'll be able to join in this list as a person who is lucky enough to be owned by a Maltese!
Wish me luck!
