because he was trying to make the dog out to be bigger and better then what it is? or because he dint want to have to explain why he still had a 10 week old dog, when by rights if the litter was good it woulda bin gone already, or maybe because he dint want to seem like a peddlar because he hadnt vaccinated the dog? who knows there could be a million and one reasons if the dog seems happy and well just train it and enjoy it, as any dog is a reflection of its owner.
