Now I find out that because I adopted him from a rescue and didn't pay $3000+ for him he is considered a lesser dog. I don't care if his head isn't the perfect shape, or his legs aren't long or short enough, or his coat isn't as silky. What matters to me is that he's a sweet, happy loving dog who is content to sit on my lap all day, and makes my day that much brighter. If my dog isn't good enough for you, then I am probably not either. After all, I'm not a perfect size 2, my hair has split ends, my neck is too long and I've got a few scars and imperfections. If I were a yorkie, I guarantee that I wouldn't go for thousands of dollars. Sure I'm smart and nice, generous, funny and loyal, but I'm just a lesser human. Too bad. We could've been friends. |
WOW, um I am sure that you would go for much more. And I will probably make plenty mad at me but here goes..............I don't think they actually meant it the way it came across. There is one member that has responded to this post that bought a few thousand $ yorkie and he died. Paying a lot of money does not say you will not have problems, nor does it say your dog is the best of breed, sorry guys. Chino's father is "Walk the Line" very very beautiful, I did not pay thousands for him. I paid a few hundred dollars and that was it. His breeder is perfect in my book, she takes what she does serious and enjoys what she does this I can tell by Chino. I did buy Chino for his pedigree in a sense, but really I wanted a Walk the Line "Cash" puppy. I didn't care what followed after it (shame on me). But then I got to know Dana and I realized that I would have enjoyed any puppy that she had, even if she didn't show. Its about the breeder guys, not really about paying thousands of dollars. You have to trust the breeder. And to the OP, your yorkie is special, because he is yours and he was saved from a untimely death. Its not about what you spent on him its about how you care for him here on out. I am sure that you are doing a great job.
