In the bigger scope of things - if someone has a healthy VERY Small yorkie - then what exactly is the problem if they aren't exactly the weight you expected ? No breeder can guess weights that well - they can be in the ballpark - but it IS a guessing game. I know I bonded in less than 24 hours with Chanel...I had no idea what her weight would be and could have cared less.
I agree if that breeder lied to her she has every right to be upset but she did say how tiny this puppy was and that IS what she was looking for - so why send her back ??? I really hope she keeps her but it's her choice I guess....
I just don't think she should have been upset at anyone here - we were trying to HELP.. She misread my first post to her and it just went downhill from there - but no one said anything so bad that she had to leave over it...  I hope she changes her mind....she may have been just emotional that day. |
Maybe I misunderstood but I thought she was upset because she was lied to about the dog's age, not because of the dog's weight.
I know I personally wanted a slightly older dog when I was looking around the time we got Tia. Tia was 5 months old and that's what I wanted ... a dog around 5 or 6 months. I would have been upset if someone told me hey, take this dog because she is 5 months old and then I end up getting a 3 month old dog because, as cute as that dog may be, it wasn't what I originally wanted and paid hard earned money for.
If I were in her situation, I personally would have kept the dog only because that poor baby doesn't need to go on another flight back to the breeder. But I would have been seriously pissed off at the breeder for LYING to me and I would have made sure she was damn aware of it. I also would have posted on YT and other forums to warn them about this lying breeder.
I definitely agree with you ... what people said to her wasn't so bad that it should have puhed her to leave YT but I guess maybe she is super sensitive about it all. I just hope she decides to come back because we're overall such a great group here.
