I posted about this before, but I got Archie from a pet place in NY. They said he was from Lake Country Pets (a broker), but his papers listed the name of the breeder. But I started worrying that they lied to me and he was really from a puppy mill. Well, with a lot of investigation, I found his breeder who lives in Oklahoma. I called up and started chatting with him. Seems like a nice guy. I also found out that Archie has a little sister...she's only 3 lbs., and they were the only two born at that time. Archie is 9 lbs., so he was the "alpha." I also found out that the breeder doesn't sell before the puppies are 2 months old, which is good, and that he has a 4 year old son who played with Archie until he left there (no wonder Archie loves kids). Boy am I relieved to have found out that Archie didn't come from a puppy mill!!! I left my number and told him if I would appreciate if I could call anytime I had questions, etc. Whew!
