Although I don't agree with her terminology, she may just be uninformed as opposed to deceptive. I have heard many stories of people buying puppies that are sick only to find that their breeder has changed phone numbers. |
I brought them home on Sunday, I called Monday morning for an appointment and brought them there at 5:00 pm. Yes, I guess I am very lucky that she is standing behind her word. Just a question, just because a breeder changes her number, can't you still sew them? You have there address and you know where they live. It just doesn't seem that easy for them to disappear. I have read that most breeders do not cover for Giardia, just for congenital problems. Is that true? Or is that just unethical breeders. I can't imagine selling someone a puppy with Giardia and then not standing behind the puppy.
Any advice as to whether I should introduce the puppy to the other dogs in the family or should I wait in order to not over stress the puppy?!? I just don't want to do too much to soon and have him afraid of his new environment and not eat.
