also he was originally letting her go at 5 weeks if he thought she was eating on her own ok. thank GOD she wasn't yet!!! He was also stupid enough to take the mommy away from the pups and return mom to the kennel with the other bitches and leave puppies alone to fend for themselves...that i think is the turning point when i went from trusting him...to saving her. i hate that i put money in his pocket but i'm so glad i got her out of there and away from him
dunno why i brought this up. just that i made a foolish run of decisions and how much nicer it would have been to have a pup at 16 weeks with all shots done and starting on pee pads already...OH! and one that doesn't BITE me for the rest of her life...she's better but still not perfect darn her! |
Your heart came into play with this one. It's hard not to give into that.....
I get from people so many times that they want a younger pup than 16 weeks so they can bond with them, never understanding that a pup 16 weeks can handle situations a lot better and bond very well.
Remember there is no perfect dog. My Delilah her is a pain in the arse...a difiant teenager....How'd you like to have her stacked on the table waiting for the judge to examine her and the whole time she's growling under her breath. Or try to to stack her on the floor and pushing my hand away with her nose as if to tell me don't touch me, I can do it.....
