She is beautiful! So glad to hear that the little boy has found a family also. I love the second picture with the red bow! And I do believe Pixie is a very fitting and cute name!

As far as the congenital conditions go, I know luxating patella is one condition and liver shunt is another condition that the little ones get. I know the vet can palpate (or feel) the knees to see how bad a luxating patella is (I always ask my vet to check Jack's patellas to make sure his are ok). Liver shunt I think may need some tests - I am not a vet here and just my opinion, I would not ask for any tests unless my pup showed signs of illness. These are two of the things that you should make yourself familiar with. I would definitely get your little on within the 72 hours to keep the health guarantee intact. I would think that you would be able to tell within the first year if there are going to be any congenital problems. Again, I'm not a vet, but just my opinion.

Maybe someone else with more experience with these things could share their advice.

Oh, and try to get her used to brushing her teeth - these little ones really can get bad teeth rather quickly - they are prone to it so good oral hygeine is a must. Good luck with your new baby - she is absolutely adorable!
