If I had to do this over again, price would be the least of my concerns. If I only knew then what I know now (there is a TON of valuable knowledge here) I certainly would have gone a different route. When and if I ever get another, I now know what to look for, what to ask, and what SHOULD be asked of me as a buyer.
I made the conscious decision to buy a puppy and now it's my responsibility to give him what he needs and love him his entire life and I will do so, however, if I'd been a little more diligent in research and not been trigger happy with puppy fever I probably wouldn't have experienced some of the issues that I have.
There is some excellent advice being given here. One would be wise to listen to it. |
