[Archie's Mom]

I don't know much about this -- but I will say that when I went to see my puppy for the first time, his mom was there and she was such a mellow, friendly dog; came to me to pet her and was very calm. My Archie is exactly like her in that way. I did not meet his dad, who was a champion, so I assume a pretty even-tempered dog. The family dog I grew up with also had very mellow parents and he grew up to be the most sweet-tempered dog also. I dunno -- the behavior of the parents of the puppy you visited does raise a red flag for me, but perhaps someone who breeds dogs could tell you better. Have you tried posting this in the breeder's section? Good luck!
