Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | a little upset and confused?! i'm a little upset. i sold two of Manolo's girl puppies to this lady with a family and all. And she recently gave me pictures of one of the pups, and said that her right leg had been broken. Well the picture she gave, shows her Left leg in a cast, and her right leg obviously being covered by a blanket to hide that it may be broken as well. It just seems really fishy, and I'm starting to think that both legs are broken. I sold the pup to her last week of december, she's only had them for a few months, and they are about 5 months old (born Oct). What are common injuries to have both front legs broken? She mentioned in her email that 2 xrays had been done and that 3 splints have been inserted. I emailed her to just be honest since I care about the pups as well... It just seems a lot for a poor puppy to go through. I know accidents happen, but this is a first for me and it's a bit sad to see. Any opinions? Or suggestions? Should I even be worried? The cutest thing is my DH is genuinely upset and concerned to the point of anger, his love for our yorkies has extended to their pups as well. If anyone has any similar experiences, please do share.. I'm in no way trying to call this new owner unfit, I'm just a little wary because of the fact she may not have been completely honest... I do know accidents can happen, so just pls try and put yourself in my shoes.

| I am so sorry about this. I would be devastated if someone I sold a pup to sent a picture such as that. I have not had any experience in this area but I just wanted to say how sorry I am for that little baby! |

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | I will try and make arrangements. I just hope she is not taking offense?! I just emailed her and asked for "honesty" LOL. To be honest she seems a little ... sensitive. Maybe thats why she felt she needed to hide the other leg? What do you guys think? Obviously there is something not right with the pic... Common now...

| Is that someone's hand under her chin... looks like someone's arm with a long sleeve not a cover on the other leg...hmmmmmm is that a thumb poking out behind her ear & note the skin under the chin...maybe the picture is reversed? I had a Kodac program on my pc that always made pictures mirror imaged until I worked out how to fix it...I'd be a nosy breeder...didn't she say how it happened or supposably happened? Why did you sell two females...isn't that a rule of thumb never never two females from the same litter?

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I think Concretegurl might be right now that I look closer. I think that is someone's arm & hand. At first I did think that it looked like both legs were in casts/splints though. Poor little one. What a bum way to spend puppyhood. Hope she heals well and that you're able to find out more. So sorry.

I didn't know about that rule of thumb. Is there a particular reason? She had said she would like to buy both so they can be together. I was at first a little taken aback by it also but she seemed like she had good intentions?? HmMmm..... IS there anyone who has bought 2 sisters before? I didn't think it was THAT unusual, just a little ambitious.. I mean I see people with 5 yorkies, and its not uncommon for some of my friends to have 2-3 yorkies - maybe thats why.... sigh - ohno i'm thinking horrible things now. And looking at the picture it does look like her arm and hand and thumb. Phew that makes a lot of sense to me now. Maybe she just accidently wrote her right leg was broken but meant her LEFT leg is broken.... Nonetheless, I will make time to go and visit them...hopefully it goes well...

| Yes, that's a hand holding her head. Think about this also. At least the leg is being fixed. If they were truly bad owners they wouldn't be going through all the expense of caring for an injured pup right? (oh and I would take two sisters because I love girl doggies!) But poor little girl! I felt bad for my boy just with his stiches from his neuter. I'd be besides myself if we'd have a broken leg. |

| Poor baby! It could be that the picture was flipped and that it really is the puppy's right leg. These things can happen so fast. My daughter's yorkie recently had his back leg broken and had to have surgery. She was on the floor giving him kisses when her other yorkie, who is a tad bigger, ran up to them and in her haste to give kisses herself landed on the little one. Quick as a flash his leg was broken. |

| I'm surprised that the family wanted to send you the picture and offered no explanation for how the leg was broken. On the bright side, the family did seek medical attention for the pup.

| I have been told before that the problem with this is not that they don't get along but that they get along too well. They are a little more difficult to train due to the fact that they are wondering or more interested in what the other was doing. Another factor could be that they tend to have the "pack" mentality and would gang up on other dogs. |
