im getting a boston terrier?

Question

Ive call alot of breeders and finally chose one the pups that this breeder sells have their first shots and are register to be honest i dont really care if they come with papers these pups are 9 weeks or not i made plans to go down to go pick up the pup this saturday but last night i got a call from another breeder who i left a msg the day before asking info about the pups she sells she tells me they are 7 weeks old and theyhave the first pup shot but nothin else
my question is , is 7 weeks to young still? should i go for the one thats 9 weeks? well one of the reason why im debating which one is not only the age but one is breeder is 2 hrs away and the other is about an hr away..prices are a lil different but nothing major ($50)
any suggestions?

Answer 1

pups should be with their mother and littermates until 8-10 weeks. the fact that the other breeder is willing to release the puppy to you at 7 weeks says to me that you would be better off with the other 9 week old puppy! a 2 hr drive and a $50 difference really aren't much when you consider you will have this dog for 10+ years. i suggest going with the registered, vaccinated, 9 week old pup! being with the litter longer helps them learn how to socialize and behave, you'll probably have an easier time with the puppy. good luck with your new little guy either way.

Answer 2

Well pick which breeder you think sounds better to you and go on your gut feeling. Just because the pup is 7 weeks now doesn't mean she won't hold it for another week. If she is in a huge hurry to get rid of them then I would say there is more to the story and would go with the other. I would pay no attention to the time traveled this pup is going to be your new compainion and you need to focus on which breeder is the best sounding to you. Also compaire contracts see which breeder appears to care the most. Also if the one is a hour away in the same direction you can stop there first if you don't really like what you see continue on then when you get to the second breeder you can see whats there. You'll know who to go with for sure then.

Answer 3

Holy run-on sentence Batman!!

I would go with the 9 week old puppies. Vets and reputable breeders recommend leaving pups with the mom and the litter until 8 weeks. They are better socialized and adjusted than pups who leave the litter earlier.

Boston is a superior blend of colonial history and cutting-edge innovation. From the wonderful cobblestones of Beacon Hill and revolutionary landmarks of the Freedom Trail, to the renowned grounds of Harvard University and Fenway Park, Boston is really a value trove of Americana and with hotelbye you may have the chance to know this treasure. Boston is known it because the "holder of liberty" and Faneuil Hall is one of the areas must-see just like the adjacent Faneuil Hall Marketplace, a location which includes three long halls: Quincy Industry, North Market, and South Market. , Faneuil Hall Marketplace is relationship from the first 19th century and has become entertained by a exciting assortment of stores, restaurants, and exhibitions. In good temperature, you will find road artists and buskers gaining shows in the square around the market.

Answer 5

My suggestion? DON'T GET A TERRIER! I had a Boston Terrier, got her when she was 7-8 weeks, purebred with papers, and she was the dumbest, most annoying dog EVER. I paid $1,000 for her, and GAVE HER AWAY because she was IMPOSSIBLE TO POTTY TRAIN. She also would spend all day outside and then the first thing she'd do when she'd come inside is crap on the carpet. To top it all off, she's graze on the carpet (think cows in a field) and when she got sick I took her to the vet, who told me to take her to a groomer and they had to clean her "butt glands" out because the carpet had clogged her butt up. Get a smarter dog. I now have a Black Lab, and at 8 weeks old, he's potty trained and can sit already. Spare yourself the hassle!

Answer 6

Well, first off congratulations! I have a Boston and he is the best dog in the world. Secondly, that difference in age is not gonna make that much difference. I would go with the one that is closer as long as everything checks out with that breeder as well. good luck!!!

Answer 7

Make life easy on yourself. Travel less distance, spend less time, spend less money and simply call the other breeder and say you went with another dog. They deal with that all the time and you're not obligated. Seven weeks is not too young, but ask for some type of written guarantee for the pup's health.

Answer 8

Suggestion: do not fear punctuation! punctuation is your friend.

I would try choosing a breed closer to you in case you have questions about the dog or need to bring to dog back. 1 hour difference isn't much. You make the decision.

Answer 9

9 weeks is better
