HI!
Thanks for that reply which is very useful!
I'm not upset with Teddy's breeder but I think she had fallen on hard times as she was asking me for advice re: refinancing her home and talked about how she wanted to let her pups go at 8wks instead of 12 and how the kennel clubs rules weren't as they should be in this respect etc.... To be fair, I didn't ask some questions that I should have, in retrospect, and she didn't offer me any information that I didn't ask for so I don't fault her. However, I would just like to make sure my next dog isn't brought home under such circumstances..lol
In her favor, my dogs mom, dad, uncle and aunt were viewable as were other pups from the litters. Again, she said that this was the first time she'd ever had two litters at once and this was extremely stressful for her..
She also said my dog would be small and he is at just under four pounds. I didn't want a small dog, per se, but she said she thought he would be okay with me due to my previous experience etc.
Teddy is now eleven months old and I've gotten my head around his coat needs. I do find he needs a bath more often than my silky coats ever did, do you find this true with your Star?
Yet, despite being able to manage his coat, I wouldn't want another one with his coat type by choice if it could be helped if you know what I mean?
Anyway, thanks for your reply!!!!!!!!!
P.S. meant to say that my breeder doesn't appear on your list above! thanks for that! |
