Most amusement parks let you know the approximate wait time for each ride. They typically have an app for your smart phone and electronic signs posted throughout the park letting you know that such-and-such ride has a 55 minute wait time. It works out really well, because it allows families to head to the rides with the shorter lines, which balances things nicely. Some families probably wonder why Crockett Doodles can\u2019t give them a precise timetable. If Disney World, Dollywood, and Six Flags can determine the wait time for a ride, why can\u2019t we give a precise wait time for a puppy?<\/p>\n
Comparing an amusement park wait time to a puppy wait time in our flexible system is like comparing apples to oranges. It\u2019s relatively easy for an amusement park to know wait time, because they know the exact length of time the ride takes, how many people can fit on the ride, and how many people are in line. It\u2019s a fairly simple mathematical solution.<\/p>\n
Imagine an amusement park where there was a single long line with split offs to a dozen different rides. A person might be in the line for one ride, or they might be in the line for any one of the 12 rides (we allow your deposit to apply to as many breeds as possible<\/em>). Additionally some of the people would get right up to the ride, and then decide that it wasn\u2019t the appropriate timing for them (people waiting for a pup in a particular time of year<\/em>). Each ride was constantly changing the number of people allowed on it (litter size is constantly changing; a mom that has 3 pups one litter, might have 7 the next<\/em>). At any time (up to 2 years from the deposit date) a person could decide they had waited too long, get their money back and leave the line (refundable puppy deposit<\/em>). The rides were changing colors each time and some riders had a strong color preference, so they finally get to the line they\u2019re waiting for, but decide they don\u2019t want to ride it when it\u2019s green because they would rather wait until the ride changes to the color red (we allow people to wait for their desired preference\u2014color, size, gender<\/em>).<\/p>\nHopefully this analogy helps demonstrate that the number of variables involved in Crockett Doodles\u2019 very flexible process makes it nearly impossible to mathematically predict with certainty your wait time or your position in line. It is not that we\u2019re withholding information from you, but that we simply do not know what families with an earlier deposit date than you will decide to do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Summary<\/h2>\n\n
Many parents have experienced the rather frustrating experience of driving on a vacation and having their children ask, \u201cAre we there yet?\u201d Ten minutes later, \u201cAre we there yet?\u201d Ten minutes later, \u201cAre we there yet?\u201d It is hard for the child to demonstrate the patience to wait, and it is difficult for the parent to convince them that the end is coming, but patience is required.<\/p>\n
In all transparency, sometimes our team members feel like the parents in the car. Some families on the deposit list have a harder time waiting than others, and sometimes we’ve suggested to families who struggle with the wait to go ahead and ask for their deposit to be refunded so they can work with a different breeder.\u00a0 We know that waiting is just difficult. Patience is a virtue, and during these uncertain times, it is more important than ever. We seek to be entirely fair in the way that we send weekly puppy litter announcements to families on the deposit list, and we ask that you trust the process. If you\u2019re willing and able to wait, we would love to help our deposit list families adopt a sweet puppy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Worth the Wait<\/h2>\nThank you for taking the time to read this article. We hope that families on our deposit list have the patience to wait for a puppy and the reasonableness to understand that it is difficult for us to give them an exact answer of the precise timing of their puppy\u2019s arrival. In the end, we\u2019ve been told by hundreds and hundreds of our families that their puppy from Crockett Doodles was completely worth the wait.<\/div>\n
