So, my Aunt and her two teenage boys got a puppy off Gumtree. They haven't been dog lovers until recently and are completely new to the dog world, basically meaning they know nothing about what a puppy should look like by age or breed. They thought they were getting a 9 week old shih tzu cross bichon frise as shown in photos sat beside a bichon. Price was around £150 but I think they maybe only paid £80. They were handed this palm sized puppy and a can of ADULT dog food and the breeder flew off. Now, they know nothing about puppies as I've said so they didn't see anything wrong with this.
Anyway, the puppy turned out to be only 5 WEEKS OLD. It could barely stand on its own, or eat, never mind eat a can of pedigree adults soft dog food. They had to feed it baby rice and puppy milk through a syringe, which is a big thing for people who have never had a pet before.
It's about 10-12 weeks old now, happy and healty and they all love it very much. However, I don't think it is a shih tzu X bichon, can anyone shed some light onto what it may be? We are all just curious as to what little Milo actually is!
(pic in hands is at 5 week old, other two are most recent at 10-12 weeks)
