This pup was gotten way to young so I worry a out other things. Not that this poster didn't learn a lot but getting a puppy so young would worry me about what a person knows about vet related stuff such as when the shots need to be given and so on. A lot of people will do the shots themselves and skip out on a vet completely and at the minimum a yearly vet check with blood work and a fecal should be done for an adult dog but puppies need regular check ups and to get started on heartwarm prevention. I would have a hard time trusting that a breeder really did give the shots unless it was an extremely good breeder (which I think you are). I have read about lots of pups getting parvo and people are blaming the vaccines but when you go back and look at it the pup came from a bad breeder who only said they gave the shots and wrote the date on a piece of paper at least a lot of the ones I looked into.
