As far as health problems cropping up years later from shoddy breeding....it can happen but I don't think long term problems are rampant. You may wind up seeing joint problem later in life but most serious problems do show up in the first couple of years. So, I would not spend a lot of time worying about your pup. If you were happy with the breeder she came from, feel it was more a breeder storefront than an actual petstore like we think of here in the States, and she has had thorough vet exams since, I would not worry over problems that are not here.
Sometimes we spend so much time worrying over what might happen, we don't enjoy what we have now. So love your pup and enjoy every day! |
Definitely! I'm very thankful that they are healthy as they can be and will try to put my worries aside
and thank you for all for your replies. From the replies, I can see that many times, it just really depends on the individual animal. Regarding bad temperament, I wonder how much the environment in the first few weeks of puppies lives affects them..
