So I just got a GR puppy and it is my first GR so I didn't know much about the size a puppy should be at 8 weeks. Now I have looked around and found that she is either REALLY under weight or not really 8 weeks.
After I got her and found she had fleas, tape worm, round worm and coccidia so I thought maybe she was under weight from being sick but when I looked into the seller a bit more, she has 12 ads for puppies for sale on the website I found her on so it appears to be a puppy mill.
The seller told me she was born on Oct. 2nd and when I took her to the vet on Dec. 2nd she was only 4.6 pounds. Could being kept outside, under fed and sick cause her to be that much under weight? Is she younger than 8 weeks? Or maybe even mixed with something smaller? I never saw the parents since the seller told me she lived out in the woods and met me at a public place. Here are a few pics of Shelby so you can take a look.
