does anyone know dog breeders in Beauregard, Alabama?

Question

I'm purchasing a puppy from them and I'd like info; they want me to get the pup at 6 weeks old and I think that's too soon

Answer 1

I do not personally know any breeders in Beauregard, but (depending on the breed of dog) you are correct, 6 weeks is rather young.
Some of the larger breed dogs such as Rocks, Dobies or Shepard's can be weaned at 6 weeks, if they have a really large litter and they are putting a strain on the moms health.
But even it that case I would never offer one of the puppies for sale unless the prospective buyers were experienced with young puppies and were aware of the special needs of a puppy weaned at that young age.
But then I raise Chihuahua and I tent to be over protective of the babies I sell.

Answer 2

Having owned a Maltese i can tell you honestly - they are no where near "low maintenance." We're talking daily grooming, daily exercise (yes that means going for walks), professional grooming every so many months depending on how you want the coat cut, extensive training and socialization (as they are very prone to aggression, fear, and territorial behavior).... And a good quality dog of this breed/size can be expected to be priced around $1,000 or more. For pet quality. Show quality, well... let's just say it can reach quite a bit higher than that! Rescues will be cheaper, but they won't come with any genetic guarantees or testing. General care cost alone is easily couple hundred to start, hundred or so a month for food and prevention medication, several hundred a year for vet fees, then there will be grooming fees and emergencies are always possible. Dogs are not "low cost" or "low maintenance." Period. Not ready to accept that, don't get a dog.
