i don't mind helping with advise about raising the pup now that she has the dear one, but i sure as heck don't like that the puppy came from such a terrible breeder. |
I see where you are coming from and trust me it REALLY bothered me. I did not know she had fleas or worms until I brought her home and it was a couple hours later.
I cannot tell you how much research I did on trying to find a GOOD breeder. It seems like all the breeders around me are in it for the money and are not concerned with the dogs well being at all. I went to the AKC website and found my breeder there. After I contacted her, I asked her a TON of questions before I purchased her. I did not want to buy from a breeder who referred to her as a "teacup" either because I know that is just a marketing thing and they are really selling premature puppies.
I was comfortable with this breeder because she was very into her dogs. The only downfall was that they had fleas. She doesn't believe in flea medicine because she is more of an "organic" and natural type of person. She bathes them in some type of shampoo, but the fleas are still there. I disagree with that and the fact that she lets the puppies go home that early.
Honestly, I am glad I took her at 8 weeks because I would not want her infested with fleas and worms, thats horrible.
