While I have a great deal of respect for vets, they are not specialized in the appropriate needs of one specific breed. Small breed puppies have entirely different needs than do large breed puppies.
Oh, and just to add...I am NOT a breeder. |
Thank you for your very kind response. It was a simple question, I wasn't arguing with anyone regarding this. I can honestly say I was quite surprised with the hostility I received by asking such a harmless question. I simply have heard two separate arguments and was asking for opinions. I wasn't calling anyone wrong, I asked a question. I'm a little hurt and offended by some of your comments, you know who you are. I thought most of the reason for being on this forum was to learn and grow; that's what I'd hoped to accomplish by asking this, and that's the whole reason I'm now holding onto my girls until they are 12 weeks old too. I want what's best for them, but sometimes you have to ask questions to find out what is best. If anyone has an more ugly comments to make, PM me. Thanks again bonbon, I appreciate that.
Tara
