So sorry to hear about your puppy...18 years is a LONG time...almost as long as I have been around... On a side note, welcome to YT, you'll love it here. As far as MN, that is where I grew up, and I might know of a breeder. Don't know what part you're from, but PM me if interested, and I'll see if I can get the details. I hope your family can heal from what horrible heartbreak you must be feeling. Sending hugs and puppy kisses
