Not to beat a dead horse, the deed is done, I am sure the OP did not go looking for a 5 week old puppy. This unscrupulous person will breed regardless if this OP bought this dog or not. Why not take this baby out of filthy living conditions where it is not getting love and attention and could get trampled from these big dogs. This puppy is now clean, living in clean conditions, eating quality food and being loved and spoiled as she should be. You have over emphasized the reason a puppy should be with the momma, OP gets it, you are a very knowable member, why not share your knowledge about caring for a wee little baby instead of repeating the reason why it is best a puppy stay with it's momma. It was not the best thing to do in this situation, sounds like that pup would not have lived to see 12 weeks old. Under these circumstances even tho money was exchanged I see it as a rescue, that's my opinion. This community is about helping and sharing our knowledge and experence, how bout we do that.
