I guess you could say I'm upset with myself. I had just run into MANY puppy-mill type operations and jumped when I found someone with knowledge about the breed (and the truth about registries, the so-called teacup, etc.) who didn't have 10 dames and 3 sires of five different breeds. |
I'm glad you don't have "Buyers Remorse". I think your puppy found a great home.
Please don't be upset with yourself. I think, you trusted this breeder. I can understand, why, after all your previous experiences with millers.
If you ever get another Yorkie, please, visit the breeders home, see both Sire and Dam. It's the only way, to truly ascertain, that you are not buying from a BYB.
Unless, of course, you are buying from a reputable, (emphasis) on 'reputable', show breeder.
Even though your puppy is 3#s right now, she may not get beyond breed standard. Some lines stop growing at different ages.
If you are interested in knowing if this breeders lines do stop growing early, maybe give the breeder a call, and politely mention that you were surprised to weigh your puppy and find that she is 3#s already, and ask her, if her lines stop growing at a certain age.
