I just got back from the vet! They say he is a very healthy puppy. I just need to do some deworming for 2 more days and clean up after every potty in the meantime.
I'll look into Bully sticks, I've heard nice things about them. He doesn't have rawhide, nor will I give it to him. Right now he has 4 teething toys and a bunch of stuffed animals. The teething toys I keep some in his 'pin' and the stuffed animals he plays with under supervision because he likes to shred them....
I understand the oddness of them not caring that I made the decision the same day I spoke with them... And I also wonder why he's already 14 weeks old and his two littermates have been in new homes but not him...
But he's healthy! And I love him already, he's got a great temperment and is beautiful.
And I will pray, guarantee or no guarantee, that he doesn't have any illnesses that will dramatically affect his life. Though with all dogs, theres a chance.
In any case, I did not ignore anyones advice, I had to find a breeder within my price limit, and yes, I'm not an experienced puppy buyer... But I realized breeder #1 wasn't good... and I do believe Sushi's breeder was decent, if nothing else. Ty all

How are you on food for him? We can recommend some high quality brands (not crap like Science Diet, Pedigree, Iams, Kibbles and Bits, etc) for you and help you in finding them if you need it. Canidae, Innova, Solid Gold, Eagle Pack, Timberwolf Organics, Innova EVO, Taste of The Wild.. those are all really good brands, and your local feed store should carry them. Some small pet stores do as well, but usually chain stores like Petsmart don't.
