The puppy did not make it. Poor little thing! I appreciate all the advice and education from reading comments and articles on here. I believe I am on reputable
breeders waitlists, according to guidelines I have seen on here, there are no red flags. If I have to wait a year to get a puppy, it will be worth it if she is healthy. As far as the breeder of the puppy, after talking with her I believe she may be a backyard breeder. This was her first litter of pups from the mother. The father had only been bred one other time with someone else's dog. She seems genuinely upset and didn't give up until the vet said there was no hope. If anything, I think she was probably just in over her head. I've learned through this process, there is a lot more to breeding puppies than just finding homes for the cuties. |
