It's not a matter of doom and gloom. Simply, personal experiences. And once again, as stated in my posts, many "bad breeders" that are selling people 6 week and under puppies are the same "breeders" as Petland and the pet stores call them that are selling them the puppies as well.
I have a dog from a pet store, and I love him to death, but I'm still paying off vet bills due to tummy problems. Not to mention the emotional toll of trying to train a dog with severe separation anxiety from being taken away from his Momma so quickly and so young,
But, I'm getting off track. Yogi's Momma, he's a doll. And I love his bear face. Try to get insurance on him asap it'll help with anything that the health guarantee doesn't cover.
