I only had the male yorkie for 4 months and he was 1 1/2 yrs old or so when I got him. When I got him he wasn't fixed either. So think whatever you want to. Had he been mine as a pup, he woudln't have left my house unaltered. But, as I said, he was a rescue dog. The only reason I charged a rehoming fee for him was because I wasn't about to give him away..who knows where he would have ended up. Anyone would take a free dog.. Epsecially a yorkie. |
I hesitate to respond because I get soo tired of people accusing me of attacking them. I disagree with you and your excuse for not having him altered. I believe it makes no difference whether you get a newborn puppy or a rescue; you are responsible for that dog, and the dog's offspring. I understand that rehoming is sometime necessary, but great pains should be taken to find the proper home, and an adult should always be altered before being placed. I'm not yelling at you for not doing it this way, I'm saying I hope in the future you look at it differently, and I hope other people reading this will consider what I'm saying. This forum is about education, and sometimes the written word sounds harsh, but you can learn something here. You do sound like a caring person. Many breeders have gotten burned, but I hope you have learned a lesson.
