Also you have to realize it is winter and better to have them older before going home, so they stay with their mana and stay warm, no drafts. I know it is hard to wait, but if she is reputable she will hold on to him longer for you for no extra charge.
P.S. I noticed his ear hair is not trimmed. It will help his ears if she does trim them while he is teething, plus I think it looks better.
Thanks for the advice! Sophie was born in September but she kept her for me until January because she was so tiny that I didn't feel quite comfortable. I'm sure she'll do the same. She will groom him before I get him I'm sure.
