Wanted to add that the breeder from whence Teddy came does not release her pups before 12 weeks. In my opinion, if they can't wait the two extra weeks it implies there may be other breed standards which are being ignored. What is the hurry? These are the questions I'd ask myself before purchasing from someone, KC or not, who does not follow the breed standards. This is a relatively small one and is for the health of the breed so, to my mind, there is no justifiable reason (which is good for the dog) as to why release before 12 weeks is encouraged by a 'breeder'. |
