I need advise before Sunday! Please, anyone who can help me with making a decision... I would appreciate it. Here is my Yorkie Story that ended before it started.
For some reason I kept attracting Breeder's who cared about making a buck, instead of the welfare of the wonderful Yorkie Breed.
So a took two steps back or should I say three! And I started to research Yorkies and why Breeders wanted to breed them. This is how I met one of the most wonderful people I've ever known. Who I want in my life forever.
She is a Show Breeder and I got on her waiting list for a girl. Finally the time came when she was going to breed one of top bitches. Then we had to wait to see if it took. Yeah, she was pregnant! So, 63 days later Bayley gave birth to 4 babies (3 boys & 1 girl) and the girl was very small compared to any other dogs. I guess I didn't understand how small she was and how bad this was! She was 3.9oz and her brother were more the twice her size.
We finally started getting close to the 6 week mark, when I would be able to make the long drive and come and see her for the first time. This is when things started to go very wrong!
It all happened last Friday night when Breeder called and said she needed to take LeiLani to the Vets Office first thing Saturday Morning. The Vet advised her to take her to see a Neurologist and test her for Hypocephalus (water on the Brain). She scheduled the first available visit which wasn't until Wednesday.
Well, before the weekend even ended... LeiLani had stopped eating and drinking. She was taken back to the Vet on Monday and the Vet informed her that LeiLani had taken a turn for the worse and that she was not going to recover from it. She was just to small to fight. She had nothing to fight with. She is sooo small!
So on May 19th she lot her short little life and I lost my heart.
She was the only girl in the litter and I waited 1-1/2 years for her. Three Words! I AM DEVASTATED!
So after a week of crying and not sleeping... I emailed my Breeder to ask what my options were. Well, we have two or three...
One... She had just brought another one of her Bitches (Bayley) back from Southern California were she was Bred. So, now we are waiting to see if she is pregnant. If she is... then we "hope" she will have a girl. Delivery is roughly around July 7th and then the babies will be ready 12 weeks later (Sept 29th) OMG that is a long time to wait... again!
Two... She has 1 boy left from LeiLani's litter that are going to be ready June 25... every time I think about getting a boy, I cry... and cry
... I don't know why this is so upsetting to me. I want a girl sooo bad! I have about $400-$500 worth of girl stuff waiting at my house.
Three... My Breeder bought a female (Lola) who is now 5 years old. She came from Georgina @ Sapphire Yorkies in Northern California (she's on YTCA). She started to show her and she collected 5-6 points on for her Champion title.
Well, short story.. her son fell sick and passed away and she mover "All" of her dogs to different Show friends homes to help her. The person who took Lola had problems Showing her. Lola was home sick and would only show for her original mom. So Lola came home and more problems happened. My Breeders "Grandma Dog" and Lola started to fight for the "Top Dog Spot" in the house. So Lola went to live with my Breeders Daughter were she was the only dog but the Daughter is in Medical School and she is always gone.
So my Breeder offered Lola to me and I'm really confused now! I want a puppy... but she died, She has a puppy... but it's a boy, and Lola is a "perfect top dog" but she is not a puppy she is aleady 5 years old.
Every time I try to type out a list of Pros & Cons I just cry.
What do I do... I'm driving up to the Breeders Sunday Morning to look at both Lola and LeiLani brother. Or do I wait for another 4-1/2 months for a girl, and what if she doesn't have any girls.
I'm so confused! Does anyone have any "Great Advise for me" I need it!
