One last point, if there were problems with whelping, mama and the puppies are being seen for the second time. Or, if the puppies are too small or having any difficulties then we will forgo the dew claws.
And yes, some breeders put together puppy packages. I do. But that is not the reason to choose a breeder. |
Thanks Dee!! I already found my breeder
lol I am amazed though $5 per a puppy? When I searched, the cheapest I found was $40 per puppy for dews. I'm glad I won't have to worry about dews now!
