Hi guys. Thanks for your oppinions. Yes, his legs are that short. LOL. My son thought he was lying down too. Ha ha. Hubby and I took a ride on Saturday, to see him in person and he looks just like his picture. He walks very regal. His tail straight up and almost prances when he walks. He doesn't seem too interested in sitting on the lap, more interested in just prancing around and being nosy. He really is adorable. I think the two biggest things that are holding me back are 1. I feel as if I'm almost trying to replace my Newman before he's even gone and 2. The little guy is from Brazil and being sold by a broker which is against my beliefs. The only thing I can say with regard to this is that this particular person has had a lot of good reccomendations and my Tia originally came from this lady. The woman bought her then decided she didn't want her, so she listed her in the classifieds. Tia is healthy, very regal and beautiful. When visiting this little guy, the woman appeared to take very good care of the pups. All looked healthy, clean and well cared for. I'm still trying to think it out more and really do appreciate all of your oppinions. It's hard decision for me. I don't want to buy and seem like a hypocrite as I've always preeched against buying from petstores, brokers etc. Thanks again. Elaine |
