someone living across the rd from me has just been sold a puppy he is only five weeks old
Poor thing, he must be too young to leave his mum surely. What breed is he?

Thats terrible, far too young to leave mum, and other pups. Its breeders like that who give the rest of us a bad name!!!!!!!!! grrrrr!!!!!!!

They say he is a cross between a staffordshire bull terrier and a yorkshire terrier.
What can be done about this will he even survive away from his mum and littermates at such a young age?

What the h**l does it look like ?
I hope the Staffy was the mother - poor thing :(

Unless they're very experienced, that's a disaster waiting to happen. :(

The problem is they are not at all , its a boyfriend who bought it for his girlfriend who lives across the rd there 21 with a mental age of about 2!
She has been walking around with him outside all day wrapped in a blanket like a baby , all night yesturday as well after she got him. She has no clue about dogs at all , he is only 5 weeks old and about the size of a kitten.
Although she has not approached me with her new pup as of yet i know she will (that kind of person) and I need to be able to offer advice especially as he is so young. They spoke to my neighbour and told her they were going cheap so you can understand the mentality here , I want to go up to them and tell them how bloody stupid they are but was is done has been done so i feel the best is to offer advice on how to look after such a young little pup. Really need all your help here , couldnt sleep last night thinking about that poor little guy!
By the way is this type of cross been done before????Never heard of a mix like this
Was thinking of calling the RSPCA but at the same time was worried about where the pup would end up , what do you guys think would be the best?

I think the best thing you could do is tell them that everyone has to take a new puppy to register with a vet within a few days of buying it - maybe you will have to offer to go with them? Then the pup stands a chance of being wormed and vaccinated at least.
The RSPCA wouldn't be able to do anything (even if they wanted to) unless the pup was actually being ill-treated. It might be worth letting them know about this breeder and what's happening, just to put your mind rest that you've done all you can.
