All puppies go through awkward stages where they dont look "pretty" for brief periods of time. That doesn't mean that they won't be beautiful to you again in just a few more weeks. The difference you are seeing (in my opinion) is the age difference. I think the second puppy will go through a similar stage as the first.
If you are concerned about temperament, you need to carefully consider what research has shown about socialization. The longer a pup is with his/her mother and siblings, the more socialization he/she will receive. If a pup is adopted out too soon, there are important lessons they miss out on that only their moms and sibs can teach them.
I understand what you're going through. That's a tough decision. |
GREAT POST, Judy!!
i agree!

that's what i was going to say, Ronda!
you should look at the parents of the dogs, it will give you a better understanding of what the puppy will look like.. (although it does NOT mean the baby will look exactly like or sometimes even close to the parents!) ..you would have to go through a breeder, who knows the yorkie's lines, generations back!(and even that is not a guarantee) BUT seeing the parents will give you an idea....
plus, i would want to see the parents anyway.. it can sometimes give you a lil more info about the breeder, etc.
i would say GO with your heart.. you know what is right.. i wouldn't let anyone-friends or family, persuade you to go one way or another.. take people's advice and consider all your options-i would not jump into something, if your head and heart weren't in it 100%!
puppy's are just the sweetest (yorkies in particular
) but if you are not satisfied with even ONE thing, i would NOT go through with it (whether it's the temperment, look, or even the breeder) so many things
can and
will come out later on, that may cost you a ton of heart ache and money.. so i would just be sure you LOVE everything about your puppy and that you are completely aware of the breeder, health guarantee(very important!), etc. etc.
i think that is very nice of her to let you get the other baby, if she was able to tell your heart was not completely with the first baby!
i just say.. do your homework & go with your heart!
good luck!
