[QUOTE=archiebaby;644269]to be honest i find it quite unbelievable that a breeder would show you a puppy that was 10 hours old, that is terrible those puppies are so open to infections being bought in,anything could have happened ( i am not getting at you here) just after the birth and for the next few weeks the mother needs quiet and no intruding into her little life with the puppies, i am truly gob smacked that the breeder has done this!!! i would find yourself someone who knows what they are doing with their puppies and mum?[/Q

Dont know anything about this sort of thing our were 3weeks when we first saw them but with my limited knowledge on this sort of thing it does'nt soung like the right thing to do. Is it an old wives tale but can the mother reject a puppie by doing this at such an early stage.
