We adopted our "moppet",
Katie, from a wonderful breeder, Carol, of Carol's Canines
located in Wisconsin...quite
a long car ride for us, but as you can see, well worth
the trip! Katie
was a real sweetheart during the long ride home, sleeping most of
the way, waking up
briefly at times just to look at us with those big beautiful eyes.
Being such a tiny
thing and quite fragile, we will have to take quite a few
precautions to ensure
she grows up to be a healthy and happy little girl.

Personal
Note: If you are considering bringing a new puppy into
your home, please look for a reputable breeder and not a pet shop.
.
.Breeders know the full background of the
puppy whereas most pet shops acquire their puppies from puppy mills where
the
.
.animals are treated cruelly, many are in
poor health, and their living quarters are horrendous. Anyone purchasing
their
.
.puppy from a pet shop should consider the
fact they may be promoting puppy mills. It is a hope that if
puppies are no
.
.longer acquired from pet shops that one day
soon ALL puppy mills will be closed down. The following sites
provide
.
..wonderful information on pet shops and puppy
mills:
