Vet/Medical Info: Vet saw this dog under the name of "Faith" right after the Owner got her. She had diarrhea but tested negative for parvo, and the diarrhea resolved.  The vet had no other information on this puppy and no care was provided (no shots, etc). 

Owner Info: Owner got Faith when she was 6 weeks old and weighed only a pound a half.  She was not growing well or being well cared for.  They renamed her "Paris."  Owner has given her the first distemper shot on 9/10/12.  She said the health of the puppy is good.  Paris does not come when called but does come when she hears a box of her treats being shaken.  Owner cannot get her housetrained because "she can't see where to go."  Therefore, she has put her outside in a kennel under a tarp, although when it rains, the rain on the tarp scares Paris so she brings her in until the rain stops.    The owner said Paris is "loving and affectionate."  She gets along with most of the 15 barn cats on the property.  Once the owner let Paris out the door and Paris got lost, and it took the owner 30 minutes to find her.  Paris has snapped at her a few times . Owner said that she waited a long time to get a Bouvier, and they have raised litters of Bouviers, but cannot keep Paris because she may snap at the grandchildren, she is hard to housetrain, she can't be let out the door to wander on their 40 acre property without getting lost, and the owner has her elderly mother to care for who takes a lot of her time.
