[Woogie Man]

This 'they' you are talking about wouldn't be a pet shop selling dogs, would it? You're not very clear in your post just where this pup is coming from. I understand your feelings as I have 'rescued' a pup from a breeder before. I'll never do it again as all it does is help them to continue their bad practices. If you look around, there are, sadly, too many pups out there that need rescuing from breeders, pet shops, etc. I applaud your big-heartedness but there are some out there that count on that quality in people to sell dogs. If your mind is made up already, all I can say is good luck and I do hope this pup is healthy.
