Please! Please! Please!!! Do not take your puppy home at 6 wks. I took my baby home at 4 mos. and she was sick when I got her. It was soo awful to see this 1 1/2 lb baby soo sick. I don't even want to think of how awful it would have been if she would have been any younger. I am telling you a 6 wk old pup is just too risky and not healthy. I would rething purchasing a puppy from somebody who is willing to let their pups go that earlier. I know you said she has been doing this for 15 yrs, but I would think by that time she would realize that is just to risky. I mean she doesn't know who she is giving these little ones too. I am not saying anything bad about you I am sure you are going to be a wonderful parent, but just think if she gave a 6 wk old to someone who couldn't afford taking care of any unforseen problems, or who didn't have the time or patients. I am sorry I am getting so upset, but I am such an animal lover. I just know how sick they can get, and their health can collapse soooo fast =(. I hear so many stories about people getting their angel, and then they get deathly ill. Just thinking about that makes my heart break. If you still plan on getting the pup I would ask the breeder if she could keep your pup a little longer...at least until he/she is one pound. I personally wouldn't take one until they were at least 1 1/2 lbs. That is just my opinon. Good luck with everything!!! |
