Understandable. Its so hard when DCM is everywhere in this breed, even reputable breeders can't avoid it. The only thing we can do is do our best researching the pedigree, having the health tests on the heart that we know about done, look for longevity and cross our fingers for a lifetime of memories. The wait for the go that your perfect pup is here is so hard and now you can cross that off your list and wait just 8+ weeks! Do you know when abouts you'll be bringing him home?
So so true, I looked that breeder in the eye 9 years ago and asked, the answer " NO ". That's where I stand, burned, hurt, saddened. However I do realize after researching the disease and getting educated by the new breeder that it can in fact just " POP UP ". So what's done is done ( sadly ) and I'm moving on without getting upset. I was even researching how it's just popping up in not only the Doberman breed, just about every breed is seeing excessive cases. Sad indeed.
The pick up day has been scheduled for the second week in January. Most likely the weekend as it's a 2 day drive. Thought about the fly/carry on back but that's a lot of stress for a puppy. But 2 days in a truck is stressful too but at least we can stop and play/etc. Haven't made up my mind just yet how I'll proceed.
Awesome!!!! Liberty and Justice are doing happy wags for you and Freedom.
Boy oh boy I was just thinking of them and how they might feel towards a new addition. I feel a bit like a trader in some aspect.

Congrats!!!!!!
Don't ever feel like a trader since I'll bet there's a little of both Liberty and Justice in your new pup. I'm sure you've seen the movie A Dogs Journey...
Boy I had never tried it before but the transport guy who brought Phoebe to our door really knows what he's doing and treats them well. That will most likely be the route we take if/when we get another pup since his price is way more reasonable than having them flown or probably even driving to get them when you add in hotel costs, gas, meals, etc.
Well ok then I won't. Still stings a bit as I was just polishing Liberty's collar.
I am eager to meet the breeder and see the Sire/Dam up close and personal. It's an adventure for me so I'll just go and get him myself. I've heard of the ease of these pet delivery companies though.
I’m thrilled for you, Stephen! 
Don’t beat yourself up, it's not disloyal at all. Yes it stings, your emotions are all over the place but you will love Freedom just as much, but it won't diminish what you felt for Justice & Liberty. They will always be there in your memory.

I absolutely second this!! Unless you want to really make that drive, I would give Tyson a call. He brought me Freyja from Michigan to Louisiana and did a great job. Super nice guy, good communication and a great price!
