I hope you don't think I jumped on you at all, I don't mean to be rude or anything but I thought I was making a good choice and I don't regret buying my dog but I do regret not finding this site and getting all the important information. Not every story has a bad ending but many do and right now you are only focused on getting your puppy and being happy yes that is what everyone hopes for. I can't tell you how much money I spent on my dog in only about 8-9 short months. For the money I spent I could of easily bought a nice 1,500$ puppy from a great breeder and not had to spend an extra cent on emergency vet costs, are you ready for this possibility? I sure wasn't. I had to borrow money, take time off work to stay home with her and lots of vet visits. Lots of people want you to realize that this may be what you are heading for. Please don't think we are trying to hurt you, we really aren't. I wish you the best and pray that your puppy stay healthy and not have any issues. It is very heartbreaking.
I do think socializing your pup with your aunts pup would be great as much as possible but you won't be able to til she is done all her shots which will put her at about what, 14 weeks or more? The critical weeks will have been long gone and missed. Most puppies do okay leaving earlier, but the toy breeds need their mommies longer and most vets don't have LOTS and LOTS of experience in certain breeds, especially toy breeds and they may go off information they know may be true with a different breed since they have dealt with. I got my dog from Missouri and if you already know that is the Puppymill state!
