If I were in your shoes I would not have her put down .She is a young dog. Give her to a rescue group if you can't keep her .
I am very sorry your going through this. My Suzi is completly oppisite then Jersey.

The sad part is is that I am a volunteer with rescue. I am listed as a foster for Yorkies that come into our rescue. And, all but Jersey were rescues. I've handled everything from Noel who was beaten to Bella who I had since 5 weeks old and near death. My husband and two boys bought Jersey for me last year when our 10 yr. old Yorkie was diagnosed with Cancer. They knew he did not have long and I was taking it so hard and so for Mother's Day they came home with Jersey for me. A woman in our town had them. She breeds. She is not a good breeder and no Jersey was not socialized. My feelings is that she was left since birth to fend for herself. Another words whatever food was put down she either fought to eat or didn't eat. She was healthy when we got her - no fleas or parasites etc. but her parents were from Shake A Paw (A puppy store) and were older so yes my guess is that there is some in breeding. I won't put her down. I thought about placing her with an adult / older couple but she is so wild that she will not allow anyone but us to go near her. She does not like anyone but us and agains she's been socialized since we got her. Brought to ball games etc. Elaine
