How long is your little one going to be flying today? You said he leaves OK at 6:25 am, when does he arrive? How many plane changes does he have to make before he reaches you? I am glad Bettyanne suggested your friend take the Nutrical to the airport. I have a feeling your little one is going to be in great need of replenishment with water and sugar.
I have not been on for a few days and am catching up today. I was surprised you had gone through with this broker situation. I think them not sending you the parent's pictures and especially shipping on a day you said you could not pick up, are more serious red flags. Don't expect any support from this broker. I understand why your enthusiasm is dampened. But since you decided to go ahead and do business with this person, perk up and be ready to greet your puppy with all the love and attention he is needing.
Don't think badly of the puppy, but be prepared for behavior issues. When a puppy comes from these mill/broker situations especially so young, they are usually unsocialized and lacking the parental/sibling bonding that gives puppies a good start. You will have to be especially patient and persistent to overcome this. Also be sure to get him to the vet tomorrow for a thorough check-up.
I tell you this, not to frighten or discourage, but to help you be prepared. So many times, we read the frantic threads started by people with unsocialized puppies coming from mills and brokers, or just too early separated from their family. If you have the info up front, it won't be such a shock. Then, if your little one turns out to be the exception and adapts easily, all the better -- a good surprise!
