They did not want to sell him to me , an american because they said the language barrier would be to hard to keep in contact with him to check up on him ( he had a red, sore little behind and they said he was not eating well ).... I insisted they sell him to me because they had him in the little window and I knew how to take care of a puppy just as well as a japanese person did. They finally gave in...They gave me a milk supplement and soft food to feed him. I don't know why they told me he didn't eat well because as soon as I got him home he was chowing down and stealing Marleys food too! LoL Japan has puppy mills too I'm convinced because everytime I see a dog in a pet store they look sickly.. including my Colt boy.... his little butthole that was all red and swollen cleared up like 2 days after I got him too.. I think he was just not being taken good care of and who would have an appetite living in a little cage/cubicle like that all day with people tapping on the glass and making faces at you .. only to walk away

....anyways... im rambling... You might want to post this in the breeders section. They will be able to help you more, as they are pros at raising babies
