Abbey is our two year old female Weimaraner. Last year the kids wanted a dog and so the search began. First we were looking to buy a German Short Haired Pointer from a breeder. One Sunday I started searching the ads online and came across a picture of Abbey. I contacted the owner and they were selling her because their smallest child developed allergies after getting her. I contacted the owner and he said we could come look at her that day. It was about an hour drive for us. I was getting the kids ready to go when he called back and said that his wife had been speaking with a guy for the last month that may want her. They hoped we understood but he was coming out the next day to look at her. The kids and I both were disappointed. The more I thought about it the more I knew Abbey needed to come live with us. I called the owner back and said, " I understand that this guy contacted you first but if it is taking him more than a month to decide if he wants her I would have to wonder why it is taking him so long." I told him I would give him $50.00 more dollars than he was asking and would come get her right away. He said he needed to talk it over with his wife and he would call me back. We patiently waited by the phone and finally it rang. I wrote the check and we all jumped in the car for the hour drive to get our new dog.
