(and I'm not trying to be snarky or bitchy about this...my ZoE varies between 6.8 to 7.2 lbs depending on the time/day of the vet visit, and she's a week shy of a year old, so may still grow some and end up well over the 7lbs mark.) |
I don't think that just being AKC and a health guarantee makes someone a good breeder. After not knowing about breeders and brokers when I got Callie there are many things I would require and be checking for if getting a new puppy.
