Probably pretty bad by the way it sounds since you've already fallen in love with your pup. Teppi's done fine. Like said already, here is where you can get most all your questions answered but always listen to your vet. Make sure you have a good one. Word of mouth in your area is usually a good way to find a good vet. Other people with pets will know. When you get your pup just show it all the love I'm sure you already have for it & don't worry about what anybody else says. It's your baby! Everybody will help you here. Good luck! Let us know how things are going.

OP already worked it out with the breeder...hopefully breeder will begin correct practices and join TY too!
The topic shifted a bit to explaining WHY people hear misinformation so much-especially from ppl who should know better and why a 12 week minimum is best.
I can't wait to hear the OP's posts in a couple weeks and pic of their pup!
