I seriously doubt that Pat meant to offend you with her comment. I think she was just trying to exemplify that ditching the pups at only 5 weeks should be done under only the most dire circumstances. But you know what they say, if you go looking for something to be offended by, then you will never be disappointed.
I have a feeling that would be the case here regardless since lots of people telling you this is a bad idea instead encouraging you to pursue this.
When you ask a question, you are going to get well informed, detailed, HONEST answers...even if they are not the answers you
wanted to hear. People focus on the best interest of the DOGS invovled. They are also the first to help out when people realize they are in over their head. However, no one is going to encourage you, or commend you, or offer sympathy if they don't feel it's what's best for the dog. THAT is what you can expect on this site. If that isn't what you are looking for, then most likely, this site
isn't for you.
Consider this: You came here, seeking advice and explained the situation. So far, EVERY SINGLE PERSON who has responded has said that bringing this dog home at this age is a bad idea. Not to mention ILLEGAL! Not one person has supported the idea of doing so or agreed with what the breeder has decided to do. That should tell you something. If you feel you can ignore that and decide to proceed anyway, then IMO, you are being very irresponsible and setting yourself up for trouble. No one is going to commend you for that.
