Ive been planning on getting a lab pup for the past couple weeks and finally found a litter I wanted that had a great pedigree. Well the litter was born on wednesday and I almost didn't get a chocolate boy, he was the last to pop out 9hrs later. Anywho I get a text from the breeder at 3:30am last night saying "call me ASAP, doesn't matter what time". Well the last boy was 14.8oz at birth then dropped to 13 then back up to 15 last night and he woke up to let him feed alone and came back and the pup was off the momma and somehow got away from her and all lethargic and pruney looking. He rushed it to the hospital 30miles away and they took him in. The pups temp was around 92... he got an update this AM and the little man is doing a helluva lot better, temp at 97 and he is looking good. The pup has a good sugar level so he's retaining nutrition but not 100% outta the woods yet. The breeder is all shook up which I understand and also because he doesn't want me to not get a pup.
So this is where I'm turning to you guys.... he said he would give up his #1 pick for a choc girl if the pup doesn't make it. There's a yellow boy(a dudley) left but I have my heart set on a chocolate... Would you take his pick? I'd feel weird doing so.
I'm an overthinker and I know I'm probably jumping the gun since the boy is doing better but just wanted your guys's opinion.
