Thanks so much everyone. Our other two Yorkies both use Revolution so I guess I should also use that with our new puppy.
Yes i know that getting her from a petstore is unethical but from the inspection reports that I ordered through petshoppuppies.com it seems that the inspections were good and that the facility only had 2-4 dogs on the given years so I feel somewhat reassured that she is fine. And as for the pedigree there is only 1 non-AKC registered dog in the 4 generations that I recieved so I'm assuming that either the owner of that dog didn't register her for some reason. I don't know.
After I purchased her I read all kinds of bad things about puppymills and I was disgusted, and I will never buy a dog from a pet store again. I wouldn't give up my baby Lucy for anything now, but i'm disgusted that I helped support these inhumane mills by purchasing my puppy. I guess I'm lucky that she is in excellent health, eats and drinks regularly, and is taking to house-training well.
She has been peeing and pooping outside and has only had 2 accidents once she pooped in her cage in the middle of the night but barked and woke us up afterwards so we could clean her cage and take her out.
Yes we never leave her unsupervised for her protection the older female is very jealous and has already snapped at the puppy, of course the puppy was stalking and barking at her. |
