    Hello! We was buying a lab puppy 1 week before. The puppie is 7 weeks old. She is 2kilogramm now! I think its not a labrador because she has white spot. Please answer me what are you thinking. Sorry the bad english. http://m.imgur.com/a/r601g [​IMG]

    Hi Daflava, and welcome to the forum.

    Firstly, your puppy was adopted by you at an age that was too young. So I would like to draw your attention to one of the forums policies regarding puppies adopted at 7 weeks of age or under (see the blue box below).

    Secondly if you have any concerns regarding your puppy being underweight, your first priority should be to consult with your vet as soon as possible, as unwell puppies can deteriorate very quickly.

    Moderator Note:

    Sadly, in some parts of the world there is a tragic trade in tiny puppies barely able to walk. On the Labrador site we frequently get comments from people who have purchased puppies as young as 21 days old. Their owners will usually need help from a qualified veterinary professional if the puppy is to survive and thrive.

    Our forum policy is to encourage people to wait until their puppy is eight weeks old before collecting it from the breeder. To make sure we are not encouraging the trade in underage puppies, nor depriving these puppies of essential veterinary attention, we have the following rule.

    If a forum member’s puppy has been removed from the breeder/ mother before the age of seven weeks, that member must wait until their puppy is seven weeks old before posting about him or her on the forum

    We recommend that anyone with a puppy under this age contacts their vet without delay for instructions on feeding, general care, and medical treatment. We understand that members want to help these puppies, but the forum is not the right place to be distributing specialist advice of this nature.

    To that I'll add that members are not allowed to ask other members to comment on whether their puppy or dog is pure bred or not. This is the relevant part of the forum rules:

    Moderator Note: f) Requests for confirmation of pedigree/ID Forum members may not post photographs of their dogs for the purpose of asking other members to confirm that their puppy/dog is a pedigree dog.
