Ok...I understand everybody, and Like I said no matter what I do, my mom will never let Roxy in the house. Sad truth... I would like her to be inside, and I've tried everything...We are going to look at the puppies tomorrow at 5. I will post how it goes. This breeder seems 10,000 times better than the other one, but I'll just have to see...Only tomorrow will tell if we decide on getting the puppy or not.

Well, I wasn't going to post but I feel like I have to. You may be pissed but I really don't care anymore. I honestly can not believe that people are actually congratulating you on getting this new puppy. Your dog JUST died. I'm not saying you need to go into deep depression but you do have Roxy you know. I bet Roxy wants more than one hour a day with you. She deserves more than one hour. I think if you don't spend more time with her you should find a better home for her. Someone that will spend the needed time with her. I know you don't want to hear this and I know other people have said it but clearly it hasn't sunk in.

As for financial reasons--4 paychecks isn't enough. I mean your mom will have to buy food and things for your family (I'm including food for Roxy) and anything else you want, plus saving up for this puppy? I don't think so.

You are 13, what do you really know about dog breeders, and after searching for a couple days what could you have possibly learned? You should be training Roxy. You made a comment about your mom making excuses saying she smells or has fleas. Well if she has fleas deal with them! She must be suffering if she has them and you don't do anything about them. A 15 foot chain isn't enough for her if you don't walk her every single day and pay lots of attention to her.

I can't begin to understand why your mother would allow you to get another animal. It is very poor judgement on her part and also poor judgement on your own for actually getting ready to go through with this. I hope you really do consider what you are doing and are taking Roxy into consideration on this decision. She deserves rights before this new puppy. I hope that if you do end up getting this puppy that Roxy still gets attention from you, even while you are excited about a puppy.

Just because she lives outside, dosen't mean the poor thing has to live with fleas. How would you feel if you have hundreds of parasites crawling on you and biting you? Treat your yard, treat your dog. And keep treating it. AND if the dog lives in the house, there's a lot less likely chance of having fleas. Is she even on any kind of flea+tick preventative? Does she have her shots? Is she on heart worm meds? Poor thing.

And what about RESCUE! If you're going to go through with this, look at your local rescue! Since this is only a pet, why are you rushing to a breeder without looking at any other options? I sure wish I could magically make people see the correct side of things.

I agree 100%

Well it really appears no matter what sound advice we give her, she is just going to do what she wants and that is that, I had that pointed out to me, but was giving her the benefit of the doubt in hoping that something might sink it, it obviously has not, but really I do not blame this girl, the full responsiblity with the bad decision making lies solely IMO with her mother, and as for Roxy having fleas and smelling, well Hello who's fault is that, not the Dogs, as a responsible pet owner it is You who must attend to this dog's needs, I feel sorry for Roxy if she is indeed living with fleas, it is not only a terrible irritant for her but bad for her health.

Personally I am fed up with it all, as we are all beating our heads against a brick wall, and whereas getting a new puppy is exciting and something I would normally love to share with a PTer this one is clouded with sadness IMO, enough said.

Roxy HAS been treated for fleas, and my mom still makes up that excuse... Roxy is well taken care for, and perfectly happy, and Loved alot, so theres not a single reason to be sad.
