Hi Camille and Cecilia!
Thanks for responding to my post. I am glad you asked the question about how old she was when I got her because it is another concern I have. I bought Tinkerbell from Petland in Iowa City, Iowa. She was 2 months old when I bought her. My husband bought her for me for my birthday and so he didn't know enough to think about where the store got her. The store promised us that she didn't come from a "puppy mill" and they gave us a 3 year health warrenty. They said they only get yorkies from responsible breeders who are both state and federally regulated. But, I am wondering now since Tinkie shows so much aggression if that was a lie or maybe a stretch of the truth. If she is from a puppy mill, what kind of emotional problems does this implicate? I have the pedigree, I wonder if I should track the breeder down and see what kind of environment she was in. Or, can an alpha dog show aggressive tendencies for other reasons other than being born into a puppy mill?
Thanks Again Camille and Cecilia :-)
