Hi-
I don't disagree with the issue of puppy mills, I agree they are awful, but that is not to say that S & V uses them and my puppy came from one, they tell me they don't, that they come from breeders. I have to be honest, i love my puppy and am happy i bought her, after learning all that I did after the fact, next puppy i would go directly to a breeder, but the concern is that there seem to be issues and problems everywhere you go. It is hard to know where and who to trust. As for the other woman that bought at S & V, I would love to see a pic someday! I'm sure your little one is SO cute and sweet! We went to the vet this morning for Winnie's rabie's shot, vet said Winnie is doing greats she gained 20% of her weight in the past 2 weeks, 9 oz, which my vet said means she is happy with her new home and adjusting well. As for her age, the vet said that her teeth should fall out at 16 weeks and that is the only real way to tell how old they are. He said that she looked about the right age 15 weeks due to her coordination, she weights 2lbs 10oz and he said she should be 6lbs fully grown. That is what I expected! I am still caught on the ears though---i will love her anyway she ends up, BUT i love them down
He said that until 6 months, they really could stay down and then one day just pop up! So we have another 2 months to see what happens I guess! Would still love to hear from anyone that bought from S & V in w/a birthday of 2/6/07 w/a father littlest boy bleau and mom little penny! Training going well...she can sit and give her paw as of yesterday!! She is better at doing it when there is not a treat involved..as soon as she sees the treat, she looses her concentration
