Hyperglycemia is dangerous and these little ones are prone to it up until age one. The tinies are especially prone to it. I think by you pushing the breeder may feel pushed and end up letting you get your girl earlier then she's ready and certainly earlier then the breeder is ready to let her go. Perhaps you can go visit with your pup? This may make you feel better about the situation. Please, don't push to get her. She's really not ready and I'm glad the breeder realizes this. Elaine
