Some of you breeders are really generous with all the things you send home with your puppies. That is really thoughtful. I got my dog at the age of 10 weeks and she was little only weighing 1 1/2 pounds. My family had had a yorkie 20 years ago, so I did know a little something though. The breeder sent me home with some of her food in a plastic bag and instructions to make sure she just ate something every so often. They told me to use corn syrup if I noticed her being lethargic as that meant her blood sugar had dropped. We never had a problem. This dog didn't show any interest in me when I went to get her but she was the only one available. I saw her sister but she was already claimed. Debbie and I did bond right away though. She was supposed to sleep gated in the kitchen but after she let out those loud cries, I put her in my bed and that's the way it's been ever since.
I think the most important thing is to give your new puppy parents your phone number and let them know that you want them to call you if they have ANY questions. I think that will make everyone feel better. |
