Everyone has given great info so far. I'll just add you should be committed for the puppies’ whole life and be willing to keep a puppy if there is anything majorly wrong with them health-wise. I know a breeder who had feed some high quality dog food that was later recalled and even though there seemed to be nothing wrong with the pups or mom, she still kept them to make sure they were properly taken care of if anything did happen.
And first litters are usually small (1-2 pups) and will be most often be larger if they have another litter. |
