What's done is done.
This puppy looks younger than 8 weeks of age. So, now you have to make sure that you give him the best start that you can. Make sure he eats a minimum of 4 meals a day, with one late at night, before bed. Make sure you get to a Pet Store and buy some NutriCal. This is for the aid and prevention of hyperglycemia. Get on the internet and google it....keep on the lookout for any signs. At this young age he should be fed Gerber's rice cereal, mixed with Goats Milk and equal parts of distilled water, in a week or so you can start to add a good quality small bite puppy kibble and as he grows and can chew readily, you'll omitt the the cereal and goats milk.
This breeder is a horrible breeder......letting a pup go this young and giving you a song and dance about AKC papers. If she didn't want him to be used for breeding all she had to do was darken a little box on the AKC papers. That wouldn't have prevented you from doing so, but if you did, his pups couldn't be registered. Hog Wash......$200.00. If a dog is being sold as breeding dog, it would probably be for $1,000.00, but it shouldn't be sold to just anyone.
Good Luck and we're here to help if you need it.
