| I guess i'm just surprised because this breeder charged her an arm and a leg for this puppy because it's small and *designer* and well taken care of in her fancy breeding program...uh huh |

| What you feed your pup is totally a personal choice but from what I have seen personally...Not a good choice for me. |

| Aw, poor little guy!! So young and what a crappy food!! It's great that his owner wants someone to watch him, especially with him being so young he needs to be watched!! I bet you will have fun watching him, enjoy those puppy kisses!! Oh and get some pictures of the little guy, we love pictures!!

| Food Choice is totally personal and alot of people like puppy chow... I think I mentioned the food more because she told me he is 7 weeks today and is really small and is only on puppy chow and the breeder says he has been only on puppy chow for sometime now... |

| Just found out he turned 7 weeks yesterday and the breeder says he has all his shots? And got them awhile ago?? Isn't that too young? |

| 7 weeks is too young to have all his shots already. I don't even start mine until they are 8 weeks because they should have the antibodies from mom still. I hope that you have fun with him |
