A breeder does not ask the pet buyer to take on the care of a 5 week old, that should not leave it's littermates or breeders home..unless that breeder is too ill or dead...that is why we as breeders need close breeder friends to help in the situations...we all have family emergancies and problems...but it is unethical to expect the unexperineced pet owner to take on a task as this..what if this puppy becomes ill etc...then will the breeder blame the pet buyer...not fair, the pet owner is not expected to do the breeders job...
I hired a vet tech once to help me in a situation when we had a death in the family...another time a breeder friend took a litter 6 wks of age when I had to go out of town in an emergancy...and I have in turn done the same many times. |
Yes and I have taken mom and pups when a breeder friends very close family member was dying. It doesn't even have to be an experienced breeder in the same breed to take the pups as toy dogs are so similar in their needs.
