Maybe you will be lucky, but that is like winning the lottery on a puppy mill dog. It just isn't going to happen.
Sorry, I'm still against the fact that you are getting your dog from a puppy mill (which is the same as a backyard breeder, and how can you say they love their dogs if they are outside in kennels and only inside during puppyhood)... and the dog has no shots and is leaving the mom at 6 weeks. The dog shouldn't have shots at 6 weeks, but still it shouldn't leave that early. You are going to "save" the puppy, but in reality you are just supporting them to breed more and more puppies because you can't pay $1000 for a well bred, high quality pup.
I pray that your dog is ok, and gets house trained easily since you are going to bring her to your parents when she is house trained. Could be a year, could be never. I pray that she doesn't come down with something that costs over $5000, even a thousand so she doesn't have to get surrendered to a rescue.
She is a young pup, will chew, pee, poo, maybe throw up and have diarrhea due to how she was raised. Bark a lot too. Socializing just with your aunts dog is NOT enough to make her friendly. Dogs need to be out and about until the first year at least to be well socialized. To me, a dog is a big deal. I did years of research. My scruffs may not have been from a good breeder and I will never know (although the owner said she searched weeks for a good breeder.. I would have searched longer myself), but I got him as a rehome at a year old and I would give up everything to make him healthy.
Oh, and about your parents. If my parents said I couldn't bring Scruffs I'd just not visit them. If they can't accept that he is part of me and my life, then I must not be very important to them. That's not the case though, and they have grown to love Scruffs. I might be crazy, but I love my dog more than anything in the world.
I don't want to post this but I can't hold out any longer. Sorry but I'm frustrated since it is pointless when people ask for advice and then ignore it. |
She wasn't talking about puppy mills ! she was asking advice on her dad !
We all feel bad about what's happening with puppy mills, let get mad at the breeder and the law that will not stop them. Maybe when someone finds a puppy mill , they will report them and we need to fight to get the LAW to help us fight the mills.
Maybe we can help, and start a thread to see what we can do to help these poor dogs that came from the mill, let work together as one voice !.
I wish her the best and good health with her furbabie.
