    That's great that you've decided to get another pom! How exciting!! I love both names, especially TigerLily. I don't know why, but the first thing that popped into my head was Tigerlily Jane, (or Lily Jane). Lily has been my favorite girls name for as long as I can remember. I've always liked the sound name "Lily Marie", but I don't think Tigerlily Marie has as nice of a ring as Tigerlily Jane. I know whatever name you pick will be perfect for your new baby.

    Are these the puppies you were talking about in your other thread?

    If so and I remember correctly you are going to visit them this weekend?
    If so and they won't be ready until Dec. 2nd then I imagine they are really young, like under 5 weeks of age?
    If so and the breeder is allowing you to visit them then I can tell you right now that that breeder is most likely not reputable!!!!
    A reputable breeder does not allow visitors until the pups are 5 weeks of age Sometimes maybe 4 weeks of age but no younger than that. Their immune systems are not strong at that young of an age therefore they are very susceptible to picking up illnesses.
    Since you don't know for sure what was wrong with Tink I would advise you not to visit even if the breeder allows it. You don't want to take any chances.

    Are you sure this a good idea?? Maybe you should wait a bit... If you finally decide to buy a new dog, be careful were you get it from......

    have you thought about adopting? there are plenty of dogs in the shelter waiting for a home. I think it's safer to adopt..because they can give you a background from what they know....very well said, lv4dogs. I just still say it's too soon but that is just me.

    I don't know you or your situation with your last puppy. But I think you should follow your heart. I don't think anyone here should tell you if you are ready or not. If you know you can afford and are ready, then I say go for it.

    we aren't telling her what to do or feel - she asked for opinions and we gave them....I am just giving her my opinion as I was in the same shoes myself once.
    If she isn't going to get the puppy until Dec then I think its ok - I knew when my Shaianne died that I wanted another dog but didn't want to rush into it.
    I ended up telling a friend of mine that I wanted a puppy of her's that hadn't even been born yet so I didn't get my Keegan until the middle of November and they were born the end of Sept - my Shaianne died Sept 13.
    Did I have doubts? of course!!
    Did I know what I was getting myself into? umm no
    Would I change the way I did it? absolutely not - I wouldn't have my Golden soul mate if I did.
    I'm sorry Briana that I am not up on the other threads but do you know what illness took Tink? Was it Parvo? I absolutely do not think you should bring another puppy in until you find that out b/c if you do and the 'bug' is still there this pup could meet the same fate.
    AND
    If this is the same breeder you got Tink from - you should absolutely not get a puppy from them - you said yourself she was a backyard breeder - make sure it isn't a teacup either - they have more problems I believe.
    If you and your mom are set on another pom - try rescue or adopting one from the humane society.

    Take a few minuets and read up on the situation with her past Puppy Tink, then you would have a better understanding on where we all are coming from.
    She bought Tink from a puppy mill and died at only a few months old of an unknown cause. We are afraid if she gets another puppy so soon that what evet Tink died from may be passed to the new puppy.
    We all just want to help her make the right decision.
    We are not telling her what to do, we are letting her know what our opinions are.

    I agree with you, Krista. You don't need to buy another pomeranian, maybe you find in a shelter a dog waiting for you to be loved....

    Not only that but by adopting you're giving some dog a second chance at life!

    What about looking into a Pom rescue group if you're set on getting a pom??

    I think saving a life by rescuing would be a great way to honor Tink! I'm sure there is a Pom rescue group near you.

    This is not always true, I let people come and visit my puppies anytime after 2 weeks of age. BUT, they must wash hands multiple times, and depending if they have dogs at home, they may not be able to touch them. I've also let some people visit after 1 week of age, but they can't touch the puppies, and must stay a safe distance away.

    I hope that if you do get another Pom, that you have learned your lesson about back-yard breeders. Best of luck!

    Yes, as I said
    If so and the breeder is allowing you to visit them then I can tell you right now that that breeder is most likely not reputable!!!!
    I did not say that the breeder is not reputable, I said most likely not reputable.
    The *majority* of reputable breeders do not allow visitors until 4-5 weeks of age, not all.

    And as you stated you take extra precautions.

    The puppies just turned 3 weeks old, and we are going to see them on sunday. OF COURSE WE'RE NOT GETTING A PUPPY FROM THE BREEDER WE GOT TINK FROM!!!!! That would be stupid. The puppies arent allowed to go out to homes until they are eating well. This weekend we get to see the puppies, and the parents. All the rescues near me have no poms. The nearest pom rescue is like 5 hours away. Besides, I can tell if its a good breeder or bad. We are taking extra precautions. Tink did not have parvo. We definitely know she had something Congenital. We didnt get her checked or anything, but the vet said she had something congenital. So yeah. I think I am ready for a new puppy, and that Tink would want me to give my love to another puppy.
