I would asks for tests to be done before I purchased that pup. Specifically for livershunt (bile acid). I had a tiny one that had liver shunt, never got over 1 1/2 pounds and passed away at 4 months. This was my first experience with Liver Shunt and hopefully my last. I let the breeder know that I purchased her from (it was her first). She is in my avatar. When she died she could crawl underneath the bathroom door still. Those with bad livershunts stay very small. Do a search and you can find lots of info.

I'm sure that isn't the case, but you should be aware. I hate to see you get into a bad situation and get attached to a sick puppy.

Good Luck,
Susan
