don't ever be afraid to say ANYTHING you need to on here. you might catch some flack for it, but in the long run most of us are kind hearted and can tell when you are a genuine and kind new person or someone that doesn't seem to care about the wellbeing of the dogs and makes quick decisions without any thought.
you seem very sweet and like you are trying the best to make the right choices for you. this breeder may not be the best you can find, but i understand that fallen in love feeling. i did that with Sadie. i then came back here and took a LOT of heat for it, but i was also defensive and hateful right back about the whole situation. you are coming at this knowning it's not an ideal choice, but knowing your heart is already lost on that little puppy face. lots and lots of us have done that exact same thing and totally know and understand your feelings. sure it's not prob. the best situation, but it's your situation and you sound like you will make an excellent doggie mama reguardless of how your pup comes to you.
be ready for some biting issues. start right away not allowing him to nip or play bite your fingers and hands.
be ready for just about anything health wise. you just never really know unless you have the health testing to prove things are going to be fine. just be prepared financially and emotionally that it might be a rocky road. doesn't mean it will be and not trying to scare you at all, just be kinda ready in case you do have a health issue come up. with our Sadie we were not expecting anything and we got a LP issue at 10 months that the breeder did not cover or help with.
good luck. God Bless...and if you just can't leave that pup there then by all means just go get that little boy and love him to pieces!! |
