I am torn and wonder what other people think and feel. I recently lost my oldest yorkie; but as fate would have it I had just adopted a rescue Yorkie, Chloe, that was a former puppymill dog. A puppymill rescue is way different from a new little purebred puppy. I have had Chloe 3 months now and she makes a little progress every day. She is learning to play with my other yorkie Toby, she gives me kisses and now her tail wags near non-stop. When I first got her from foster mom all she would do is hide in the darkest dustiest corner; she would not even look me in the eye. Still I felt like it was something I wanted to do; to give a sweet little animal a chance at a nice dog-life. So I feel a little guilty at wanting a pretty little purebred puppy again. The Yorkie I recently lost was beautiful, Chloe the rescue puppy is kind of gangly and even a little funny looking. At the puppymills , as we know, the point is not to better the breed but just to churn out puppies. I know that people buy dogs for different reasons; but I am not sure what is the best reason for me. Rescue vs beauty queen/prince?
