Great point Kristy! I never thought of that! Jeez! I forgot that this was the place that rented pups.... Everyone is right... no one can tell you what to do. Its an emotional decision. We are all just giving you our opinions and advice. It would appear, like Kristy posted, with 99% certainty that this shop gets their dogs from puppy mill breeders... you really need to think of the health risks and vet bills you are likely to incur. Even if the pup were to get a clean bill of health on the first vist, when you arent adopting from a breeder that knows their lines, you run the risks of liver shunt which would likely go undetected at this age amongst various other health risks.
