I would like some advice. I am a huge advocate of rescue dogs and am in a position where I would like to take a yorkie that I'm sure no one will want. Long story short, Son accidentally impregnated mother, I know people sometimes don't buy the "accident" stories but I honestly know the people and they honestly didn't mean for it to happen, there never was any inbreeding in their dogs ever. The mother and the original sire were not EVER inbred, they were from 2 completely different lines. Unfortunately for the family they really believed the younger dog wouldn't be interested in the mother and didn't do a good job in keeping their distance when she went into heat. It's the first time it happened and they are afraid that they won't find loving homes for some of the pups because circumstances, they have some trusted family and friends who agreed to take in and give any care they can. They are getting the older dogs neutered and spayed after to make sure it never happens. Well after much research and reading tons of horror stories of huge genetic risks I still decided to take one of the pups when they are born and old enough to leave the mother. I am adopting not buying and am making a vet fund for potential issues and I am well aware of the the parents. I am willing to give it love and all the care it will need. I guess the reason I am posting is because I am desperate to hear something positive that I could potentially have a healthy dog, I will love it regardless. I have children and another dog (golden retriever who is amazing with small dogs and she is the love of my life) who are well behaved and everyone is willing to give this tiny guy everything we can. I just see so many horrible puppy mill stories and horrible pet store stories that I could never buy another dog again and just feel the need to give a little guy the love he needs regardless of his mental or health conditions. Again sorry for the vent I just would like some words of encouragement.
