Doggie Decisions

We just got an answer from the Spanish dogs place saying that Kika and Risa are still available. The last time I heard from the puppy in Helsinki was yesterday morning when the owner sent me an e-mail he would get back to me later that evening. Still no reply. This is kind of stressful since I do want one of these dogs but at the same time if I'm too eager I may end up with two and at some point I have to chose which one to pursue. So, I was hoping I could get some helpful advice again.

Here are our two candidates at the moment:

RISAStats:

• 2 years old
• female
• 30cm high and weighs 6kg
  

Pros:

• The following is included in Risa's payment:

1. microchip
2. EU-passport
3. rabies vaccination
4. some triple vaccination
5. some ekinokokkoos treatment
6. Leishmania test
7. Heartworm test
8. sterilization
9. airfare to Helsinki

• We would be giving an abandoned dog a home

Cons:

• She is a rescue dog so she may have different problems (mental and physical).
  
• We don't yet know if we can have her and there are issues outside our control which might influence that.

PUPPY

• 

Stats:

• 3 months old
  
• Father is a corgi-kleinspitz-mix and mother is a papillon-like-mix so she will be a small 'toy' dog size

Pros:

• She is a puppy
• Since she is not a rescue dog we wouldn't have to prepare for those 'special' kinds of problems that those kinds of dogs might have.
• She's had her first check up and has also received two vaccinations.
• Has not been in a 'stressful' environment (been in someones home with mother)

Cons:

• Does not come with all the checkups and vaccinations as Risa (and so we would have to pay for those later)
  
• Owner hasn't replied to e-mail so maybe she found a home already.

Ugh... difficult decisions, especially when the outcome isn't even really up to me. Frustrating...
