Thanks guys, well we made the drive yesterday and got home around 10pm we left at 10am, anyway, we met the mother , father, and the two pups left , one male one female, i am in love with the papa dog he is huge at 130 pounds and sooo friendly. However, both the male and female pups were gorgeous, we have decided IF we get one it will be the Female, she had a little better temperment i thought and was so gorgeous, the male peed three times on our shoes while we were there and was humping everything in site, LOL we decided Face would not like him at all, maybe if he were the only male but Face comes first, now there were a few things we did not like though, so the decision has not been made yet, the female pup was very ill. she had a bad cough and was on antibiotics, the breeder said it was cuz she had a bath last week and then was taken outside and got sick. She has a heated kennel but to get to it she has to step outside she lives on a huge property & the kennels are on the property, so aside from the lil baby being kinda sick, the boy had a big lump under his chin, i asked her what this was and she said from the adult dogs, (she has 35 total dogs) very large, she said they play very rough with the pups and when the pups try to steal there food they teach them that they cannot eat first and do that by nipping etc on them, this breed has very long cat like toenails, and i know first hand how Rita can be with hers, when i left there i had red scratches and nip marks all over my hands from the puppies, but it just seemed weird that she was showing 2 puppies with lumps and bumps on them we told her we were not taking a pup with that on them, especially at the price she is asking for the pup so she agreed and said not to worry she would keep the pup we chose seperate form the adults for 2-3 weeks til there bumps healed up. Again it just seemed wrong that she was even showing these babys with there lumps, but.. i truly fell in love with this female and so did Vince, the decision is ultimately his since he is paying for her, but we dont want to purchase a sick or unhealthy pup who in the future will have medical problems. This is the same breeder we got Rita from, but that was 3 years ago and sadly we were not as knowledgable on breeders etc, then, anyway any advice now that we saw the pups, dont these things seem weird?? or am i just crazy?
