Before I knew any better like a lot of us right here at YT I purchased not one but two pugs from a Kennel that I now know get some of their pups from mills all over the country.
I will never support this again. I have been in some pet stores and the site and smell is just awful.
Don't be discouraged, there is a breeder out there that will sell their pup to you. Before we found Autumn I went and met w/a yorkie breeder that had two males available. One she would sell me the other she said she would not just for the safety of him because she did not est. that he would be over 3lbs and being that I am the mother of two she would not feel comfortable regardless of how well behaved my kids are. I totally respected that! The other one she had would be closer to 5-6lbs and she was okay w/that.
Knowing what I know now, I would sit back and wait, the right breeder and pup will come your way. Who know's it might even come from right here at YT!
Its well worth the wait, I would not want to take the chance of getting a sick pup (not saying that all petstore pups are sick) and racking up possible $1000's in vet bills!!!!
Good luck and let us know how things turn out for you! |
