She is nice - she is actually a member on the Lab board
Wish I was closer to her as well because I'd love a pup from her someday, won't be ready for another Lab for quite a while though. So ya never know, I just might be close that way. lol
As far as contacting, it really depends. I've been in contact with a Vizsla breeder for 1 year (maybe a bit more) - I've met her and a few of her dogs and one of her dogs is actually in my agility class (smallest world ever!). Anyways, yeah I've been talking to her for that long and I won't be ready for a puppy for 2 or so years:lol-sign:
Most will probably have a waiting list, so I don't think there would be a problem contacting them now honestly.
