I've done a good amount of research on this on the internet, but there's no substituting for real-world advice from people who know.
I posted the other thread about our situation, and I really appreciate the feedback....I think she's going to end up working less in a little while, so perhaps then we'll have more time for the dog...also, it's POSSIBLE I could turn out to like having a dog and that'd work out even better.
My opinion on this, just like everything else, is that when you want to get something...you need to do it right. No cutting corners or getting cheated.
I absolutely cannot fathom spending over 1000 dollars on a dog....and we wouldn't care about "championship bloodlines" since we're not out to enter any dog shows. So we've seen quite a few classifieds that offer them for 500 dollars or so...AKC papers and all. Here's what I care about
:
1) It's actually a Yorkie...no cross breeding. AKC certified.
2) It was treated right as it was raised...so no further problems arise due to mistreating.
So that raises these 2 questions....
If a classified ad says it's "AKC certified", and I receive the papers, is that all I need to know to tell me it's a real, 100 percent Yorkie?
And, what signs can I look for when going out and visiting these places to search for a dog??
That's it for my 2nd, and last, topic of the day...thanks so much.
