There was an ad for a 10 wk old male Yorkie in our local newspaper yesterday that stated "Ch lines". I was curious and called to see what Champion lines this person had. She said "Lamplighter". She said that her 3.5 lb female & and her 6.5 lb male had 37 Champions between them (in their pedigree)! She told me that the Grandfather of her male was named Fonzi. She's had two litters from them! And the second one was not planned. She said that when she came back from Italy that they told her the dogs had locked up. She said she didn't know that the female could get pregnant after a C-section. I bit my tongue... but my heart was in the pit of my stomach. She also said that one person who wanted the female from this litter "wanted the pup at 5 wks but she felt she should wait for it to be weaned"!!! I just couldn't believe my ears! I couldn't believe that her Vet would have let that female bear anymore pups at 3.5 lbs! Our Vet started asking us about Mia getting spayed at the first visit. I doubt that the breeder sold this male for stud purposes when he weighs 6.5 lbs. The woman selling the male pup is very nice - and I'm sure she loves her dogs... but she doesn't have a clue on breeding. I just feel like the breeder should know what's going on. I didn't get a chance to see if the female ever got spayed. Poor baby!!!
