At the risk of sounding mean and selfish, can I just say I wish everyone looking for a “Covid puppy” would just go away for a while? Just until I’ve brought a new pup home myself, that is. I’ve been checking Petfinder daily for the past few months. It seems every pup I think could be a good fit for our family has been spoken for by the time their posting goes up. Thought I had a lead on some golden retriever pups this morning. Until I looked up reviews and found out they don’t fall in the “responsible breeder” category. And every responsible breeder has a waitlist for 2022, maybe late 2021 if you’re lucky. If I thought I could get away with bringing Q back from his new home at college ... but I think the kid would put up a fight.
