Try and be patient, Estelle. Like you we were on the waiting list for ages - and like you we got fed up waiting. So we went to a Wheaten Club show and found a breeder who had just mated her bitch. We reserved a puppy there and then. The litter was born a few months later and we eventually brought our pup home. Just before we did though we got a phone call from the breed secretary to say we had been matched from the list with a breeder. We decided to stick with our original decision but boy, did he turn out to be a difficult dog ..!
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, of course, but I can't help thinking how different things might have been if we'd patiently waited our turn on the list....
Hope things work out for you.
