My husband said the puppies were indoors but the mom was outdoors when he visited and that the breeder said she keeps the puppies indoors at all times, but the mom went in and out at will. He felt very comfortable with the situation when he was there. He liked the woman andd he liked the way she cared for her dogs. She was not wealthy, but she was thoughtful and obviously cared for her animals.

My husband just said that he is going to go get our puppy as early as possible on Saturday. He said he is willing to take in the mom and other puppies for a few weeks, but he feels that it is highly unlikely that she is going to allow it.

I will call our vet first thing tomorrow morning. He doesn't always return calls right away, but hopefully he will call back by the end of the day tomorrow and I can get his take on all of this.

Thank you so much for your help.
