#not to mention i likely will be taking a somewhat unusual route since im not even sure PSDs are properly recognized here

I've been thinking to myself hey I maybe I should email this breeder, just bring up our potential interest in a future puppy and also I guess ask if they think their dogs could have the potential for assistance work, but first of all I might as well have never written an email in my life bc I have no idea how to go about this!!! And second of all, especially for the latter but I could always leave that out for the first time lol, if they answer negatively in some way I would likely not recover (I am not a well adjusted individual and rsd is a lovely little thing). I know myself well enough to know I would find it very discouraging and the embarrassment would probably also make it harder to contact them in the future 🥲

#not to mention i likely will be taking a somewhat unusual route since im not even sure PSDs are properly recognized here #like if i do end up training a dog for that (bc organization trained isnt an option) i likely will have some administrative bs to deal with #and being young and doing smth out of the norm never gets you good looks haha #im trailing off here idk what i was going to say anymore really #smth smth i mainly want to know how tf you go about emailing a breeder?? like what do u say #hi i like ur dogs. ummm. yea. have a good day #what should u mention in a very 1st email? what should u ask?? what should u avoid? #keeping in mind this is all for years in the future #if nothing else id like to meet their dogs at least since they're open to that w arrangements #i would be delighted to say the least #also the SD stuff : if other things align right i wiuld still 100% want a dog from them even if they wouldn't be suitable for SD work #+ theres at home tasks i would teach to probably any nd all dogs we have in the future lol #this is a mess of tags thanks if u read through all of it? i guess? #im going to sleep now #mine
