I brought Izzy home at 13 weeks and we too had a very hard time with her eating... I went as far as to buying baby food....like chicken, beef, and those meat sticks to get her to eat...I always amde sure that i had nutrical on hand at all time... I would feed her wet food also to make sure she was getting enough water... I'm not sure what the breeder is feeding the puppy.... I would get a good HIGH grade food.... Something like wellness puppy wet food... see how she does...and remember that their tummy's are very small so a teaspoon at a time is all they may eat..every 1 hour or so...

izzy is now almost 9 month old and she still gives me fits about eating...

Oh and she also loved the New balance dog food roll...
