Yes, my breeder retires show dogs, as well as dogs that showed potential to be show dogs as puppies, then didn't grow up to be breed standard once at a year or older. We didn't have to wait that long: we got Fabian at 13 weeks because he was "too baby-faced" and his legs were a little short to compete. We love him even more at 20 months -- all 9 pounds, stubby legs, and all. But having gone though the peeing everywhere, chewing the good furniture stages, we'd probably get an adult next time, too. Good luck finding your perfect fur baby! |
