The fact that you got your dog at 8 weeks and your parents got your childhood dog at 8 weeks (don't know how many years ago that was), didn't make it right. And it's all about what is best for the puppy, not the breeder, not the new puppy owner. |
You have encouraged me to ask about the breeder's intended vaccination schedule - thanks for that. I will do that. I don't want my puppy to be ill in any way, shape or form.
I agree - it may not be right to get a puppy at 8 weeks but I do think it is quite common.
