Well I took the advice of some of you on this forum and confronted the breeder again and told her I knew this was not the same puppy I had chosen and listed all the reasons including the facial differences and the huge weight gain in only 6 days. She told me not to contact her again about this matter and did not address any of my concerns or attempt to explain the differences in the puppies other than the one whe had already given i.e. my puppy had been eating too much. She did not offer the names of the other puppy owners so I could see for myself that I did not have the largest puppy instead of the smallest one. So that answered the question in my mind that started this thread! With that behind me I have concentrated on getting to know Mia and have found out how smart she is. At 8 1/2 weeks she goes to the refrigerator and looks at it when it is time to eat. She has figured out where her food is kept. I obviously still haven't gotten her off the wet food yet. She climbs up our stairs already but she can't go back down. She is even getting the hang of potty training. Dare I hope? |
