Well, you seem pretty smart considering Diesel is your first pup. I think you said all the right things to your breeder. I'm not surprised that she was offended/defensive...whatever. But good for you! I had to have a similar conversation with the "rescue" I got my Momo from. And she wasn't even my first dog. We all live & learn

I'm so glad that little Diesel is getting back to being a happy puppy!! And glad that you can finally relax after what seems like a really tough week. Good call on the food switch. You're absolutely right...get him over the hurdle before you start throwing new food in the mix. Now go enjoy your weekend with that adorable little baby of yours
