Sadly.. my first post here is on this topic.
I bought the most adorable loveable Yorkie 4 months ago at a local PetStore. We were not planning to buy a pet.. just took the kids out browsing for the day. When I saw him I HAD to hold him and when he licked me... I had to have him. Hubby said we should think about it. I went to the grocery store (crying) and came home and pouted for another hour. I knew I had to have him. In the middle of dinner... hubby grabbed his keys and said lets bring him home!
Chewie is the light of our families life! BUT.. I will never ever buy from a Pet store again. All we can do is draw from our own experiences. My lil Yorkie had Kennel cough for 4 months. Wasnt allowed to leave the house, go outside, take puppy classes... NOTHING! Was so sick.. we had to postpone rabies shots. I bought him for 1,000.00 and spent another 500 getting him well. Plus 300 for private in home puppy lessons. Now I am fighting with the store to get reimbursed for all the costs due to his illness.
I can not and will not speak for others.. nor will I judge others for their personal decisions. I will only say that in my opinion... for ME, I will never make that horrible mistake again. My next Yorkie will be from a reputable breeder.. I dont care how long the waiting list is. |
