Seems like you trust Aaron, but still, why are you not speaking to the breeder yourself? Is there some reason that he does not want to give you her phone number? There is a difference of keeping a dog at a healthy weight versus being underweight.
Just know what you are getting into because you are responsible for this puppies health, well being and vet bills for the next 12 to 15 years; not Aaron.

I want a healthy dog, yes, but if I can get a good deal in the process why not? The breeder thinks Aaron is getting the dog. Because they are friends she is dropping the price down by $600 for him.
But now that the deal is off I owe Aaron $50. A waste (I could have paid my cell phone bill, meh) but it's nothing compared to the $400 I could have spent.
I am sending out emails to all of the breeders in my area right now. I feel so bad that I have to turn down the dog I have already named... I wonder what is going to happen to him...
