I've seen it a lot on here recently...people want a puppy and they want it now! They don't seem to listen to advice about finding a reputable breeder...they just seem to want to go with the first puppy they find that is in their price range.
I just think it is so important to go into buying a puppy with a cautious attitude...finding a reputable breeder can be difficult, but people shouldn't settle for less than that. |
Wow- 36 times more likely to have a liver shunt than all other breeds- that is shocking way to high! I have looked at pups for about 8months- and I did notice the large amounts of problems- but never dreamed that it was this much higher for Yorkies! that is so sad- this is a sweet little breed- and this % should not be a fact! It really makes me sad!
