OMG:eek: You have got to be kidding. I feel so sorry for all those pups and the breeder dogs. They are probably in a cage all day long without her pups. How sad. I would not give this person a dime.

Has anyone ever seen this place in person? I would love to know what their 'kennels' are like with nine different breeds. And how many dogs would they have to have for this many breeds? This isn't just some hobby breeder, or even a BYB!! This sounds like a much bigger operation. :mad:

I thought i'd find a lot of nice, kind, and considerate people who could help me learn and grow in my ownership of this puppy. all i have found here are several very opinionated people who through their strong opinions have attacked me in every way over my own choice, i am hurt, upset, and feeling rejected by this forum for the rude and hateful comments i have recieved here. i know that you were all just trying to help and give advice from experience, but obviously you have had negative experiences and can't seem to recall that people sometimes have great experiences i mean i'd rather rescue this little baby now and take care of her on my own, than to leave her at his home where she'll be in a kennel all alone without any siblings (who are sold already) and without mom who was taken away at 6 weeks anyways...so why not take her, i feel like i can take better care of her anyways....and as for the comments that Marvin doesn't care about his dogs, he is in contact with almost everyone he's ever sold a pup to, obviously he's got great relationships with previous owners that adore him and he's constantly checking up on the puppies he's sold all over Missouri, visiting them on his trips to see his daughter....

so in my own opinion here, yes i'd rather wait until she's 10 weeks old, but he's going to sell her to someone else at 6 weeks if it's not me, so i'd rather it be me so that i know she's taken care of and doing well.

i'm going to go with my own gut, the advice from the VET, and the advice from a lot of other people who agree with me, though most of you on here don't.

Yes i am upset at most of these comments and I feel very hurt from the rude and hateful way you have approached me!!

I hope that you all enjoy your dogs, i'll enjoy mine, and we'll all go on happy as ever with our own lives.

I hope that you have a Savings account with a few thousand dollars in it for the care of your puppy. I told you that I got my Yorkie at 7 weeks of age. Within the first 2 months of owning her, I had to fork out $6000 in vet costs, immunizations, and her spay. Being a responsible pet owner is alot more than just enjoying raising a puppy. Getting a puppy at such an early age is just setting yourself up for problems.

But hey, we've all done what we can to help you with your decision by sharing our information and experiences with you. If I were you, I'd reconsider your decision and we can all help you find a puppy from a reputable breeder. :)

It's just a sad situation and he will keep doing this kind of thing as long as there are people out there to pay him the money and don't do their research.

I truely hope that your puppy is healthy. I hope that you do have some money saved up in the event that she gets coccida or something of that nature. I would make sure that you have some baby wipes and nutrical on hand. Sometimes they mess their bottoms up when trying to go to the bathroom. If she's stressed, and you see any mucus in her poop when you get her home, take her to the vet immediately. I know from experience when I almost lost Ellie when she was so young. To this day, I have to feed her a special diet because her stomach is so sensitive. I wouldn't suggest any training treats from Petsmart either.

I wish you and Sadie the best.
