I know in the future i'm going to be looking to get another yorkie, it'll just take time to "get over" her and i'll need to find a breeder with good health records and such. I want to make sure i'll have enough time and it'll be nice to raise her with my bf here too. he's out on an internship for 7 months.
thanks, Kayla |
It sure can be hard to resist the temptation of those puppies in the petstores.
It sounds like you made the right decision for yourself. When you do find that you have more time to devote to your yorkie, please try to go through a reputable breeder. You will save yourself a lot of heartache. You may spend more money upfront, but what you may end up saving in vet bills will be worth it. Sadly, pet store puppies are usually cleaned up puppy mill pups.
YT is where you want to be when the time comes for you to get your yorkie. You will find wonderful breeders who honestly do care.
HUGS!
