I would not buy any puppy which growled or snapped at me while I was interacting with it for the first time. Especially if it did it looking me in the face (dominantly) and not out of fear.
I personally turned down a Chow mix rescue puppy that did this, and the rescue people were very put out because I had been ready to sign the paperwork and everything, but ultimately it's an animal you're going to have to live with for years and you shouldn't feel pressured into adopting a dog that is going to cause problems for you. |
