i would agree [bANNED TEXT] terrier s on that 1 [bANNED TEXT] , i wouldnt take the pup if it has bad infestation! its not hard 2 treat so why cant the breeder sort it? my black terrier got em about a month back 1 dose of frontline sorted it,some shampoo arent strong enough 2 kill all fleas so its worth spending £ to get rid

advocate or stronghold.. my vet told me frontline dont work no more as everyone is using it

No need to wet it through,just use puppy flea powder,and give it a worming as well,if the breeders got fleas on em,has he wormed them properly? i have my doubts.

ha carefull on that one mate i was told the same when we got our little jrt she looked a little pot bellied and the breeder said she is a little pig for food just keep eye on her turned out when we got her back what ever we fed her went straight through even a little rice and chicken waqs no good wormed her but it ended up trip to vets panicure a jab and some bloody expensive puppy food i would worm her your self mate to be on the safe side as i wouldnt want you to shell out like we did. learnt my lesson there mate. atb with it willum

use a bone comb if you think its to young or lice treatment from the chemist for children it will be cheaper than the vet,however the breeder should delouse them before you get the pup if he hasnt I wouldnt pass him any money or buy a pup from him atb

the fella you're buying the dog off must be a muppet or a complete egit.

The point is mate he has let them get covered in fleas? He might be slack with the worming as well if he cant control fleas,ive bred litters myself and seen the odd flea,difference is i got rid of them asap,this bloke hasnt bothered?

 

Personally i would question him about the worming face to face and ask to see the medication used[doubt i would be buying one in the first place though]round worm is the dodgy one for kids eyesight they should be wormed thoroughly by a responsible breeder.

 

And to be honest i did it myself once by accident,the litter contained 2 identical fawn pups and i accidentally wormed one twice and the other not at all at the second worming stage,mistakes can happen.

if the seller couldnt be arsed fleaing them I couldnt be arsed buying his pup

Bad flea infestations are very hard on young dogs. It can also make them anemic. I would highly recommend buying a pup elsewhere. If they can't do basic care they have no right breeding or selling any sort of animals.

The breeder should treat them before you take them, if he/she don't then buy a pup from somewhere else.
