Finally my daughters and mine puppy is here, She came yesterday and has settled in really quickly. It like she has always been here. My daughter is so happy and I am so glad we have her.
 
I'll admit that I was wondering where you'd gone! :D I genuinely hope that your puppy is everything that you would wish for, and I wish you all well, despite my previous reservations! :)

Alec.
 
Did you manage to sort any arrangements out for daily care/attention for the pup OP? Forgive me, I can't recall what happened on the last thread in the end.
 
Did you end up getting all the relevant paperwork re health testing/insurance etc as advised on your original thread?

Hope you have fun with the pup and also pics please! We love puppies! :)

I have insurance and a puppy pack. I will upload photos as soon as I can. She is a very chilled puppy and loves people.
 
So no paperwork then as promised and having your neighbour coming in at lunchtime is not good enough, you were advised many times on here that it would be fine for an adult dog but a puppy needs more stimulation. I would be very co ncerned if the puppy is very chilled that there might be something wrong with it, what are you feeding it?

stop writing negative things. She is a very happy little puppy. She has loads of energy and is eating well. I have kept her on what the breeder has been feeding her which is the hills science diet. My daughter and I are thrilled with her and we left her today to see my horse for 2 hours. She was fine and still asleep when we came back. We are going to do this every day and increase the time we leave her so by Monday we would have left her for 4 hours and my neighbour will be in to play with her and give her a feed. I checked with the vet and have booked her in for 2 weeks time.

As your puppy gets older she will be more demanding and however you do things this week will not make a jot of difference to her with a neighbour coming in at lunchtime. As an example no rescue in the country would allow you to adopt a puppy under these circumstances, it just isnt good enough and as an aside no decent breeder would allow this either. If all this is negative thats because this poor little puppy is in a very negative situation.

You had said in your original post that she was coming with paperwork as regards her health tests, I take it the fact you are not answering questions on it proves she doesnt have any, I hope you prove me wrong.

I was happy with what the breeder has given me. She is in a happy home in the warm with a bed and toys. She is not stuck in a kennel for 24 hours being seen only to get food- lots of puppies are stuck in kennels for weeks. Get over it. She fine and I am not going to listen to you.
 
So our suspicions were correct. This is a puppy bred from untested parents to sell to anyone gullible enough as long as they handed over the money.
Not in a kennel but well bred puppies are not "stuck in kennels for weeks" the breeders keep them in a home environment until they go to screened homes.

no but rescue dogs and puppies are- I know if I was a puppy I would rather be in a house. Anyhow I really don't care what you think. My daughter is happy and so is Cariad. End of story.
 
I hate threads where people have a go at the OP, but I'm afraid I agree with what has been said.

If you said your neighbour was coming in every 2 hours whilst you are away, that would be better, but once in up to 6- 8 hours is not. Your pup needs regular social interaction and frequent visits outside. Personally I would have her to the vet this week to make sure she is in good health and condition now, especially to check she does not have worms etc.
 
OP, I'm not trying to be negative or bash you in any way. I don't have a problem with mixed breed dogs, my in-laws have two and they are beautiful dogs with no health problems.

However I think you need to see what people are writing not as having a go at you but as looking out for the health and welfare of your new pup and also trying to prevent any heartbreak for you and your child should things go wrong.

If you do have the proper health test paperwork then great! If not then regardless of how much I liked/trusted a breeders word I would also be having her round the vets asap just for a check over. Better safe than sorry yes? After all we've all at some point or another been done over by someone we thought was on the up and up so we learn to sadly no longer take people at their word and ensure all the proper checks/ paperwork/ contracts etc etc are in place. To do otherwise would be rather silly in this day and age where it seems every second person is out to get everything they can from everyone else.

Also if there is any problems it's better to get them sounded out now rather than leave it till later. If the vet checks come back clear then again that's brilliant.
I'm afraid I'd be a little concerned if a pup was sleeping most of the time and for extended periods. Lethargy in any young person or animal is suspicious to me so for peace of mind I'd personally want to get the vet to have a good in depth look.

No one wants to rain on your parade, we just want to make sure you all get the happy life together you should have.

I'm afraid I also agree that a pup needs a lot more socialization than it sounds like you are giving / plan to give her atm. If the pup is not socialized and stimulated properly now it could have serious knock on effects for the pup and for yourselves later on in life.

Again I hope you will take this in the vein it was meant, not as a bash at you but trying to get you to see that there is a lot of sense and a lot of good advice in what people are saying to you. Unfortunately we all get frustrated when giving sound advice that doesn't seem to be going in. Don't take it personally it's meant with the best of intentions!

Still would love to see pics though, bet she's gorgeous! :)

yes she is lovely x
 
Back to the original first post and our suspicions the op is a troll, I really hope she is and this is one huge wind up, Sandi 84 we have all given the op lots of advice in the past prebuying this pup, she is immoveable, she knows best and doesn't take advice so am hoping she really is a troll.

Yes i read the original thread, for what it's worth I don't think the op is a troll but I do hope she takes on board the advice given and takes it in the way it was meant.

I also sincerely hope that she does have the proper paperwork, the pup gets the all clear from the vet and that she revises her plans for doggy day care options.

Sadly I don't think that's likely.
 
I wasn't going to comment but have to 100% agree with Sandi 84s post . I was concerned when I read your pup slept for 3 hours Op, that is not normal , at her age she should be driving you mad :p! I still hope you are winding us all up, rather than actually leaving a pup for 8 hours with a short break :( .
 
I think it was 4 hours but even so that's a long long time for a tiny bladder and a long time alone for a pup without any company and interaction :(
 
yawn! I posted this to say puppy is here and well. Thanks for all advice but I am going to beg to differ and at the end of the day she is mine and I will do what I want to do.
