The pet shops in the two little market towns near us don't have it either, but you may get if you're near a big town. But, as I said, my village shop gets it for me. The owner has no problem, I ring him to order it & he picks it up from his wholesaler. The Royal Canin Yorkshire only comes in one & a half kilo bags now. I used to be able to order a small sack but the wholesaler doesn't have it now, so i buy 2 of the smaller bags at a time, they cost £7.50 each & a bag feeds one Yorkie for about a month. The Mini Junior comes in a 3 kilo bag & costs nine pound something, not sure of the retail price exactly as I've only recently started to use that & bought it from the Royal Canin stand at Blackpool show.
Yes, you're right about sticking with what the breeder has been feeding at first. It's enough of a change moving homes without risking a diet change as well, but you can gradually move her onto the new stuff over a few weeks.
Bet you're excited! 
Have they been born yet? |
I was waiting for a bitch from the breeder in Kents litter thats due 8 august..but then i come across a little bitch puppy shes advertising and emailed her thinking she was probably already spoken for..but to my surprise she wasn't!
The breeder was going to keep her herself but she etimates that she will only be about 3.5-4lbs and will be too small to show or breed from so she decided to sell her as a pet only..she's keeping her brother for breeding though, the mother is small and had to have a C-section so she won't be bred from again now. so all being well..i should be collecting her on the 6 september! I'm so very very excited about her..i can hardly think of anything else! lol
Her breeder seems lovely too...has been breeding & showing since 1961 and has said we can pick her up from Kidderminster which is not as far from us as kent as she is visiting friends there around that time. She's about 7 weeks old now and will be 13 when we collect her as the breeder is getting all her inoculations done first.
