We were told newtons parents were 4 lb and 5 lb. And that newton will be no more than 5 lb. The vet said newton may be around 10 to 12 lb fully grown. We also discovered that per the akc papers, the breeder lives 6 hr away.
When I called the seller and told him what the vet said about newtons weight, the idiot said. "he ain't Gunna be no ten pound!"
Newton is healthy and happy now, although when we bought him he had a respiratory infection that was easily cured, however the seller claimed it was "a sore throat". We didn't want to give him up because it was an instant love connection.
What should I do if anything? |
I sounds like Newton was purchased from either a broker or a satellite breeder. As far as I can tell there really is nothing you can do about to man you purchased the puppy from because he lied to you about his birthday and possible adult size. What is the name of this "breeder" so that everyone knows to steer clear.
