| I hate to tell you this, but your puppy is probably sick. I got Reese from there last summer and ended up spending 800 at the emergency vet because her so called "kennel cough" was pneumonia. If they gave you something called "clavamox" you need to take your pup to the vet asap and get something stronger. This medication is the equivalent of giving a small puppy water and does nothing to correct the cough. They also had her on Eukanuba..terrible food, get a new one if that is the case for you as well. In addition, I had a ton of other things they had me give her, but the clavamox sticks out in my mind.. Please take care of this so you don't end up in the same position that I did.. I LOVE Reese but would never get or recommend another person getting their dog from their after my experience...all from puppy mills...good luck!!

| Your situation doesnt sound good... Any time a pup comes with medication, thats cause for concern (JMO). What did they tell you the medicine is for? As laurapoi stated, I'd get that pup to the vet asap.... I hope everything goes well and please keep us updated

| He will get a cold ?!?! So the store is selling you a puppy that "will get a cold" ?!?!? Our puppies are 12 weeks old and have never had an issue - kennel cough, cold, etc. They have their full vacines and physicals to make sure they are in tip top condition. Yet people balk at the $2000 we charge but have no problem paying $1200-1800 at a pet store for a puppy mill puppy. Sorry to rant it just bothers me that pet stores get away with this garbage and the suffering that new owners go through when dealing with the results. Good luck and all the best. Get that puppy to the vet asap. Hopefully everything will be ok.

| How long have you had the puppy? I know that you are given 14 days to get your money back if the puppy is sick. Im not sure how you feel about giving him/her back but it is an option you have. That place sells sick puppymill puppies (you might get lucky and get a puppy that is healthy). sometimes the puppy shows signs of sickness right away while other times it shows up when they get older.

| There might not be any problems with the new puppy. But, I would see if you could get him into the vet tomorrow rather than waiting till Thursday. Hopefully you will get a clean bill of health. If not, please do not hesitate to return him and look for a reputable breeder. There are several folks here that could give you referrals. What a great guy you are to give your girlfriend such a wonderful gift. Welcome to YT!!!

| if you decide to take him back then you need to take the puppy to the vet and get a unfit for sale letter to get a refund.

| If I were you I would take the puppy back, you could be looking at hundreds of dollars in vet bills. Buy from a reputable breeder and feel good about your purchase. Don't mean to be cold about it, but you should still have time to return the puppy. |
