The breeder told us she had two pups in the back of her car and one of them had thrown up a lot on the trip. However, she neglected to share this info when we paid for him and picked him up. Anyway our little guy almsot died the 4th day and was seizing. He had three of these episodes before Giardia and tape worm were diagnosed. The vet (vets) said he came with Giardia and that is what sent his system into shock. Finally the medication for Giardia that he took worked. The vet suspects that his mother is a carrier and said the tape worm is more common. Anyway in the beginning the breeder offered to help with expenses and or replace with a new pup if he died. We obviously had no interest in exchianging for another sick pup. Good news is our little guy survived ($2,200) later but now breeder will not help with bills. We have been legally advised that we have recourse as a clinically ill puppy voids any contract specifics to parasites but want to help others avoid the grief and suffering we endured.
Thanks for any advice you can give.

I am new on this board, I do not have a yorkie yet but I have been wanting one for a very long time. During Christmas, I was in contact with that very breeder in fallon. When I was quoted the prices, I about flipped, but now I am glad I waited. It is so difficult to know who to trust. I have heard so many horror stories, that I am really scared. I am in Northern California in between Sac and Lake Tahoe. I am hoping to find a black and gold female.
Hope to own a yorkie soon.
