Here's what happened: Ruger had her litter four days before her due date and I had not yet moved her into the whelping area. So what does she do? My sweet wonderful dog whom I love dearly decides to not have her puppies in the nice doghouse, but to dig out a hole in the dirt underneath and birth the first two there. One of the two was a chocolate male who unfortunately was smothered when he was a couple days old :( The other, I have no doubt, was Uzzi … especially when our vet explained that the rods bacteria thrives in moist soil.
So anyway, I held off on selling him and just focused on trying to get rid of the infection. He was very patient as our vet had us try different treatments … rods is a hard infection to fight, especially in young puppies. I guess it was all the interaction and attention that made him such a nice puppy! He never acted "sick" and as he got older he developed an amazing temperament and personality. He is very intelligent and is actually more submissive and obedient than his sister Remi who I'm keeping - if he were a female, I would have kept him instead! (Shhh, don't tell her!)
After a recent exam, our vet feels confident that he is now clear of the infection and only has a little scar tissue left which is quickly disappearing … you can see this on his face in the pictures and he also has a couple spots on his back that are barely visible - I can send pictures if you would like to see. He is now looking for his new home! The price is reduced to $400 because his hair is not completely back to normal, but it should be very soon. He will come with full AKC registration, health guarantee, vet exam, and he is up to date on vaccines and deworming. He is very affectionate and will make an incredible companion.
If you have any questions or would like to come meet him, please contact me. You can email or call 615-765-3110 or text 615-631-9312.
