Let me be clear, I wasn't saying that every pup that comes from a BYB will have health problems- just that it is a much higher chance then compared to a puppy from a good breeder, who does all the health testing, etc. Obviously, I know nothing about the OP's financial resources, but the question doesn't even end there. Having the money to shell out isn't everything- I had it- I can't tell you how many vets/specialists offices I sat in crying my eyes out over diagnosis I was given. I worry more, because the OP says the puppy is for a 15 year girl- no matter how mature she is, I can only imagine how hard it would be on her if something was wrong with "her" puppy. I am not trying to be mean, but just to give another side of the story beyond the cute puppy- because lord knows the puppy IS going to be cute and cuddly. Of course the decision lies with the OP- and if taken the puppy will be the lucky one- because based on the way little Mac is taken care of, she will get the very best in life. If it was solely a question of what was best for the pup- obviously being in the OP's home is it. Again, I am not saying not to get the puppy, I was just trying to provide something else to think about. Whatever decision you make- Good Luck!
