Nothing in the first year could have made him get aggressive living
with me. All
he ever got was hugs and kisses. He changed over night. Believe me
he did. From what I read it all stems back to being seperated from
his mother before she could teach him manners. Sounds crazy huh but
these thing's are true. They are so true. With lot's of training and
patience we got threw it. What I went through with him I would never
have thought possible. I had two rescues in the past and never experiened
anthing like this. Believe it, because it can happen. I didn't say it will
but it can. To me, just because this pup is one you can afford is no
reason to purchase it. Save alittle longer and get one that's better
bred.

Carol, you have a way of putting things that makes sense and seems caring.
I have to say, after reading/research and my own experience, I agree that not having that extra time with mom and littermates is essential. There is research to back this up, not just "belief". As I said before, I would never give up my girl, but I will never again put $$ in the pockets of those who would do this kind of thing, especially someone who would remove the mom/littermates at such a young age. There is a reason that is illegal in many states. I know I keep repeating myself, but this is something I feel very passionate about. I don't think negatively of you, many of us have brought dogs home from the wrong kind of place. But you have an opportunity I didn't have. You have caring (yes, caring) people on YT who are honestly trying to explain why you don't want to contribute to this. I wish someone had done that for me back then. We're all just trying to save you some heartache. Again, the only one I have a real issue is is the breeder.
