 breeder and training
I needed some information on how discriminating I should be on a breeder I have chosen. We already picked our puppy and she seems reputable and I called her references and the puppy has been vet checked. We have visited several times and love this puppy who has a great temperament. My concerns are: The puppy is now 9 weeks, she weaned and seperated them from the mom at around 7 weeks. Now she has started crate training them at night and leaves them in the crate over night for maybe eight hours. I am concerned about her training methods and weaning and wonder if this is something that really impacts a dog. She has had no hereditary problems and has a one year guarantee. She is a kennel with 5 females, but the puppies are raised in her house. Should I worry? We are not picking the puppy up for maybe a couple of weeks, although she said he would be ready the 18. I am worried about the puppy being in the crate so long and learning bad habits or going in there because it can't hold it. I hope she did not wean the puppies from their mom to early but that is done now. How leary should I be? |
