Okay thank you for the info. That is what I thought but I'm just so unsure of what to do. We were really looking to adopt one but I was surprised how the price to adopt a dog at some places is now the same price as buying a dog as we have seen so many adoptions for $350-$400. They said that we could come see the dog this weekend so I didn't know if we should just go check it out to see what it's really like. The puppy was born in June.. what would the dangers be of buying a dog this young, can health problems be avoided if he is only 7-8 weeks old? Sorry but we are new at this and I'm trying to research and find out as much as I can.
