Thanks again for the responses and the support. I didn’t post here to name names, point a finger and bash an individual. That’s not what I am about or else I would be giving specific information of the breeder like name, address, etc. On the upside, the breeder has a long standing with a reputable kennel club and has mostly been breeding labs for years. I did find that out in my research. So I am fairly confident we got a quality puppy.
I am not a breeder, nor do I plan to breed our puppy. I am just an average husband/father, with two kids, that needed a dog to fit the average household model
We first attempted to get a rescue dog from the shelter, thinking it would be a moral thing to do. I am not trying to discourage anyone from getting a rescue dog but for our case, we decided it was not the best thing after it broke into the guinea pig cage and ate the bottom half of the guinea pig! Needless to say, that dog went back to the shelter.
I finally did get some pics of the puppy. I have come to find out that it is more difficult than I would have thought to take pictures of an active puppy! She is 12 weeks old. We got the puppy a couple of weeks after we purchased the DVD (and the kids watched 1000 times) Beverly Hills Chihuahua. So naturally dad was out voted and the puppy’s name is Chloe. She is really smart and I have already been working with her in terms of walking on a leash as well as basic commands like come, sit & stay. And she is almost completely house-trained!
With ball to give reference of size.
