Who wouldn't sell the puppy before 10 weeks old??? And can I ask why you choose a 6 week old puppy instead of waiting on the 10 week old puppy? Lee |
Did you mean who WOULD sell before 10 wks?
The answer to why we took the 6 wk old was a simple matter of cleanliness. She was perfect and clean and smelled nice. The puppy mill owner (remember Nikki's actual owner worked for a vet, she was not the "breeder" that ran the mill) kept her puppies outside and they were smelly and dirty. It was not an hard decision. The lady did express to me that she didn't agree with the owner selling them so young. But it was not her decision. I suppose if she had been truely concerned, she could have refused to sell them for her until they were 10 wks. My daughter (on paper Nikki is hers, but in reality, she's mine
) and I just fell in love with her little face, and she was so playful even at that tender age.
She had great siblings to come home to though. We also have 2 spoiled rotten black labs, and they taught Nikki how to be a dog. They have been a perfect big brother and big sister. They are older, (12 yrs now, brother and sister) and are like grandparents more than brother and sister to Nik.
