Pros and Cons

We spent a lot of time going over the pros and cons and trying not to fall in love with a puppy! Hard to do but we got there in the end!

Pros:
Calm, relaxed personality, carefree puppy and docile
Similar nature to the mother
Not the runt of the litter and not aggressive
Independent
Doesn't need lots of exercise (small breed dog)
Not high maintenance dog
Could help our little one when she needs a friend
We know the breeder

Cons:
Existing medical issue and possibly more in the future!?!
Insurance and veterinary premiums could be higher
Needs surgery in future to stitch up missing eye (stitch eye lids together to prevent infection)


We spent the weekend (little one was away for the weekend) checking what we thought. We also the checked the cost of dog food and various bits the dog would need on a monthly basis. We worked it out to roughly £50 a month. Which we thought wasn't too bad! So we came to the agreement we would take the puppy for its vaccinations and get it vet checked. I booked an appointment with our friend's vet and we kept our fingers crossed.
