Did your mom get the puppy at a petstore? I surely hope not. So many pet store puppies have genetic problems that may not show up right away. Make sure you take her to your vet for a check up to make sure she's healthy. If she is a petstore puppy, who knows what she may have. Also, buying a petstore puppy help puppymillers keep doing what they are doing. Breeding poor helpless dog that aren't cared for properly and have lil to no medical attention. any please oh please tell me this dog isn't registered with some bogus registry!

Hey lute, she was from a pet store but not form a puppy mill or anything. The woman that owns the pet store knows my mom; they've been friends for over 20 years....she only sells puppies for people that she knows..../has known....she's very very picky who she takes puppies from and sells them for. So this little girl isn't from a mill...she was raised by a nice family who wanted the store owner (my mother's friend) to sell them for them.

I took her to the Vet. the day we got her. She was healthy and already up to date on all of her shots. Thanks for being concerned about her; I already love her and she gets along great w/ our other dogs.

Congrats on the new pup be sure to read up on chinese cresteds though, they are a tricky breed!
But the people who did breed her are infact backyard breeders. Hopefully next time you'll look in a shelter?

BTW I thought I'd input, I'm fairly sure that a pet store can NOT deny anyone the right to buy a puppy as the puppies in the store are infact merchandise, sad as it is.

animal_rescue, pet stores can refuse service to anyone they choose, at least in my state they can. When I worked in one, I exercised that right frequently.

Genny, I can't wait to see pictures of Daisy! It's funny, from the description, she sounds JUST like one of Jasper's dog park buddies.

Ah ok, I just remember reading somewhere, I think an anti-pet store site, saying that they can't refuse them. It's probably just different in different places.
