Let Serendipity Decide!

Friday was a busy day. After work Blitz and I went to see his specialist to get clearance for him to show next Friday. While he acknowledged Blitz IS deteriorating, his overall health and well-being is good enough for him to show. As is always the case, it will be a last-minute decision. I need to study his body language very carefully and I pray I make the correct decision. If worse comes to worst, I will ask for us to be excused. Anyway, overall Blitz is doing "as well as can be for a dog with such an advanced case of DM", quoted from the vet.
Then it was off to Blitz's breeders to look at the puppies and for them to have a look at Blitz. Blitz was delighted to see his first Mommy and Daddy and enjoyed visiting them. Then the puppies....oh my!
They have changed dramatically and their little personalities are evolving. My two faves are still my two faves...but...there's been a twist. But let me back up a bit. When I walked into their room they all clamored to get out and once the pen was opened, the bi-black raced up to greet me. He was all over this New Person, licking, begging for pets and delivering puppy kisses. The other three were romping with each other. I immediately said that clearly at this point I'd like this pup....but I was told that their neighbors were also interested and since he was going oversize, they said they could have him! But, it's not a done deal yet. Apparently "Dad" hasn't signed off on the deal yet so I used that tiny opening to make my strong interest apparent. In watching him and talking with him he really is far and away my #1 choice.
Not that the bi-blue is a bad choice. This is the one - if the breeders could decide for me - that they would want me to have. His conformation is lovely and even though he is young there is a good possibility of him having a good conformation career. He also has a lovely attitude and is the second most outgoing dog. He is more of a thinker. That's not a bad thing. And, ultimately, I would LOVE to have a CH/OTCH. There's not a lot of those and I would love to do that.
There's still over 3 weeks yet and these pups could change some more.
It's up to Serendipity to decide. It's going to be an interesting 3 weeks.
