Do you keep in contact with your breeder after purchase?

Im just curious how many people have active relationships with their breeder. Mine loves updates, and updates pictures of all of her pups very often

Just wondering how many people are like that. very interested in the pups growing up.

We're friends on Facebook so she sees my obsessive amount of pictures. She's a BYB but does take an interest in what has become to her pup.

Molly's breeder is very interested. I have sent her videos of training, pictures, titles achieved, etc since the day I picked her up at the airport. She includes Molly's pictures and accomplishments on her website and seems very proud of her.

There was very little communication between the breeder and me. I would occasionally send a status note or a question. The breeder was cordial but I got the impression she didn't want to be bothered.

I votede yes, but should be a yes and a no. I keep contact with Akela's breeder, though I know him from 8 years before having a pup of him.

I do not keep in contact with Diabla's breeder.

a yes and a "sort of" for me.

Singe's breeder and I are in regular contact - at least once a week.
Rayden's breeder I contact off and on, though nothing on a regular basis.

Of course we stay in contact! She is an EXCELLENT breeder and we go to her for any medical needs our Vet can't do, and for training, and we update her with pictures! We see her every two weeks in fact! <3

With Max no, the breeder wanted nothing to do with me after she got her money...her loss, he's a wonderful dog.

with other dogs i own, yes the breeders are great to help in any way or just to talk.

I see the Huerta's every week...they are family to me.

All our dogs come from one of two breeders, either Huerta Hof or Kulladogs. Both started out as breeders/trainers then quickly became friends and now are definite family! I talk to, text, email, facebook post with them several times a week :-)
