I personally would sell those blue puppies at a very reduced cost and definitely have them spayed/neutered before they leave. Then you don't have anybody that gets the wild idea that they might be able to make a few bucks and sell a "rare" yorkie.
As for your boy going to the puppy match. He is cute! You really need to work with his ears and get them up. Our standard states that the top 1/3 of the ear is to be shaved. So not only should you shave them because of the standard, but because it will get the extra weight of all that hair off his ears and help them to stand. At his age, you may even need to tape them to help them stand. What I prefer to do is just massage the ears to bring that extra blood flow to the tips.
Good luck and good job with taking the proper steps to be a reputable breeder! |
Thank you for the advice. I have been thinking about waiting to place them till they are older, so that I would have a better knowledge on their health, I am also considering giving them to family/friends and paying to have the spay/neuter done with our vet. They only other people I am really considering selling to, are a couple of well aged
women that have asked about our puppies, but couldn't afford our pricing. I would also pay to have them spayed/neutered at our vet. I don't know, I am just so upset about this whole situation, I wasn't as worried about it till I realized they were not Chocolates. Not that I think they should be bred, but they seem to have healthier lives.
