    Hope the puppy is doing well!

    Sorry if this has been asked, but what do you mean by 'registered breeder'?
  • She continues to thrive! I popped round after work and she was lively as a cricket. She is at the chewing stage, fingers, toes, buttons, anything she can get her teeth into so I went to the local pet shop and bought her a teething toy. Most of the ones on sale were bigger than her!
    She loves meeting new people and wagged her tail so hard she kept losing her balance!

    I spent most of yesterday evening trying to post pics of her without any success at all but will have another try tomorrow.

    Lady who sold her is a registered (not KC) breeder and that's about all I know. She isn't my puppy (unfortunately as I've fallen in love with her too) so I don't know the ins and outs.

    Very sad thread - for lots of reasons

    OP - I hope your friends' wee pup is 100% soon

    As a VN I hope this thread helped educate at least one lurking potential puppy owner

    So pleased the puppy is feeling better. My boy is a Bichon cross Westie, I prefer cross bred to thoroughbred. Bet the pup is as cute as anything, what's the other part of the cross?

    I've been wondering what the cross is too.

    Great that the pup recovered and is fine - that is brilliant news.



    Lady who sold her is a registered (not KC) breeder and that's about all I know.


    Above - still the same nonsense about "registered (not KC) breeder" though....:laugh:

    For the non KC obsessed readers, pup is doing brilliantly and I still can't work out how to post a pic!

    sophie, if you have the photo on your computer - open a photobucket account and import it to photobucket. You will then be able to use the coded links shown on photobucket to put it on here.
