I wonder why?

Hey everyone, I was just looking at Ivy's paperwork - when I got her a couple of weeks ago I was told she was 14 weeks old. Her birthday on the paperwork however is August 5th 2009 which would have made her 20 weeks old (22 now). It's not a bit of a problem to me other than to work out her feeding schedule but why would someone not be honest about the age.  She was particularly cheap for a KC registered pooch (£400 pounds versus around £6-700 as the low end).  We've been to the vets and she checks out perfectly well healthwise (except for the "runty" comment LOL).

So anyway, my little baby girl is 5 months old. She is a little lamb, a naughty one, but then I would be disappointed if she was completely angelic!

My only guess is that they thought they had a better chance of finding her a home if they said she was younger than that?????  She is so beautiful....how could anyone resist her   I am so glad Ivy found you!!

They fudged her age because she is, as you say, runty.  Don't feel bad, though, when I pointed out baby Zuzu's flared out ribcage my vet said she was a mutant.  She ment that all dachshunds really are, after all.

She sure is teeny for five months! People always said Finnegan was huge as a baby! Everyone always thought he was a standard and fought me when i said otherwise, although he is supposed to be a mini i guess he is a tweenie now cuz he is about 14lbs im guessing.. Last time he was weighed he was 12.5 lbs and he has gained weight, but he isnt fat... anyways i dont know where im going with this... haha
