Answer
Dear Polly,

Thank you for writing to me about your new family member.

The moral of the story is, don't buy a puppy but rather save a dog on death row!!!  Every time you buy a puppy, another perfectly wonderful dog on death row will die for want of a home.

If you had gotten this dog from a reputable breeder you would have been given papers and know exactly what you were getting, because the parents would be available for viewing.  Buying from a pet shop or backyard breeder is not going to guarantee you anything.

All that being said, your dog is a living, breathing, puppy that loves you dearly and will bring joy and comfort to your life...love it with all your heart, care for it in every way you can and don't worry about whether or not it is full blooded or mixed breed..it's heart and soul is as pure as the new driven snow!!!  

Be sure to read up on puppy house breaking and training so you know exactly what to do for your dog.

Best,
Shelley Davis
