What an incredible story. I don't know how your boyfriend found this breeder but it does not sound at all good. How much did he research this breeder or even ask her for testimonials from other puppy buyers? I hope and believe that your little puppy will get better. I would not send him back at all, you have put so much money in him and love him so. I would consider taking this wowman to small claims court and keep documentation of everything right down to dates and times of phone calls, all bills etc that you have ensued. I have two little bichon frise sisters that I got from a breeder in NC seven years ago. I researched him so much and felt so good about him. He has been breeding small breed dogs for 30 years, is a member of the better business bureau and has excellent testimonials and references. When I decided to get a yorkie puppy I knew I would go back to him. I just picked up my female Dixie two weeks ago. My 19 yr old twin daughters also purchased a male puppy Teddy who is two weeks younger and from a different litter. Besides thier papers he gives a two year health warranty and you are required to take them to your vet within 48 hours of getting them to put that warranty into effect. I did and they are in excellent health and thriving and wonderfully playful. I would recommend him highly if you are ever intrested. Where are you in Virginia? I am just outside of Manassas, in Prince William County. We are hoping thru this site to find more people who have yorkies in our immediate area. Maybe we can start a yorkie play group or something. Good Luck to you and your boyfriend and your little puppy. Keep us informed about what you decide to do about the breeder. I think she should certainly offer to reimburse you for some of your expense and also I think she should have seen the health problems before even flying this puppy to you. I would fight it! Good Luck!
