| I understand where Berkkdogg is coming from. I personally don’t care for undersized dogs (or oversized for that matter). I would be concerned as well and his questions are valid. However, I personally would have first contacted the breeder and see if he/she has any suggestions. I would try to find out how tall littermates are. Certain Euro lines, however, are known to produce undersized dogs. A lot of times that is why certain dogs are being sold to the US. Berkdogg’s Dobe may still grow a bit, but it as well may not. So be it.
None if this changes the fact that the dog is loved and well taken care of, and it certainly does not change drive or working ability. As a breeder you cannot really predict how tall each puppy is going to be as sometimes the smallest one in the litter ends up being the largest.
Reputable breeders will take back their dogs no matter the age or situation. Berkdogg has made clear that that’s not what he wants.
The dog definitely has a ton of filling out to do still – and probably needs more food.
Keep us posted on the blood test results.
Best wishes,
