We bought Rebel (formerly Gwyneth) during covid to be a bestie for our other Premier Pups dog that we welcomed a year earlier. They got along immediately. The pickup experience was different from our first Premier Pups dog because we had to meet outside with all the regulations at the time, but it was still love at first sight, and the staff was great. I feel Rebel was meant to be because we had initially selected a different maltipom who we unfortunately were not able to take home because they discovered a heart issue at her eight week checkup. I was devastated (and I still think about that dog all the time), but the staff was very helpful trying to help me find a different dog. Rebel was the last of her siblings to be chosen because she was a very grumpy looking puppy in her photos. We weren't really interested in her either, but the staff suggested a FaceTime call with her (she was already at their Johnstown location from her breeder's home). She was so scraggly looking but that made us fall in love with her, and my three kids decided we needed that homeless looking dog. Come to find out, she was ADORABLE in person and she's gotten cuter each year. She was estimated to be 5-8 lbs and her mom and dad were both 7 lbs. Her full grown weight is 8 lbs and she's very active and healthy.
