If he has AKC papers you at least know he came from a breeder, not a Back Yard Breeder who mated their dog with their neighbors dog and there would be no AKC papers. Only 2 shots and 2 y/o is a issue for me. You could be adopting a boy with health issues, are you financially prepared to possibly spend what could be big bucks if this boy is not healthy and you find this out on his first vet would should be as soon as you pick him up. This is not like buying a used car,have the mechanic check it out, car not in good condition, you can say NO to the deal. Once you pay your $140. that dog is yours. Me, I am the type if I fall in love with a car, if it has no engine, I will buy it and have mechanic put an engine in, same with a dog, if I fall in love with it I get it, if the dog has health issues I do all to get him healthy, however, I have an excellent vet and the finances to cover vet bills, do you? If you can say yes to finances and have the best vet, I say, look at the dog, then follow your heart. He's a little cutie and will go fast at $140. Good luck in you decision.

Agreed. When I got Duchess she had none of what you mention so I took a big chance but then again I was financially able to meet her needs if she was unhealthy. Fortunately for me, she check out to be healthy at which point I got pet insurance for her. I tend to take in strays as well and nurse them back to health so even if you have all of the above assurances, there are no guarantees in life that your pup will never get sick years from now. Based on your pic, I would probably take a chance on him unless there was something so bad that I would not be able to handle it like a history of aggression especially around children.

Just be sure to ask about any behavioral issues which we are here to help with. But at 140.00, he will be snapped up very quickly. He is so freakin adorable.
