Just an update about the issues my dog has. I love him to death, we call him our rescue pup! Anne gave some bs about her dogs being in commercials...didn't buy it one bit. Her house smells awful and there are many types of dogs there, no way they can all be given attention. We purchased a pug, and was given some BS story about its parents, and being her friends from TN who had swine flu. When I questioned her about this and when the pup was taken from its mother she got defensive, acting like I didn't know what I was talking about. The vet even said the aKC papers were bogus and they were going to keep her name on file to warn others who may venture to that breeder....While the pug was about 10 weeks old when we brought him home, I think he was only 6 weeks old when taken from his mother so he has some major issues:
-biting...he is so attached to me he gets so excited he would bite me, my hair. This has gotten better with a private dog trainer.
-housetraining- no matter what we try he just doesn't really keep it a routine! He is only 10 months old, but still has at least one accident a day because he won't tell us he has to go out, and we take him on several walks. He also pees more than any other dog I've known (6-10 times per day).
-behavior: He just isn't as chill as other pugs I've owned. He can spazz out pretty easily and he constantly needs to have something to chew on! He needs to be near a person at all times or he whines.
**please note we had to have a dog whisperer type trainer to come in, she was able to help us with some, not all these issues. She agreed that being taken from his mom too early could be the cause of the issues!! We were on the verge of giving him up for adoption because we were afraid we would never be able to have him and a baby in the house!
I just wish there was something we could do to get this lady from breeding anymore dogs! The poor animals are so helpless, I love my pug so much and wouldn't trade him for anything. I just feel so bad that he had such a rough beginning to his life because of this money hungry woman!!!!
