You have your puppy now, there isn't anything that you can do to change it so its time to enjoy and just do everything possible to take the best care possible. I really think that it is rare to find people on here that didn't make the mistake of not knowing what a good breeder meant, and what to look for before they found this site. I know that I didn't, and I made the mistake 2x! Will never make it again though.
As far as whether your pup might be a mix, I suppose it's possible that the papers were filled incorrectly, CKC isn't known for making sure things are on the up and up. But, even so it is still your new baby and if you have bonded already it doesn't matter if his hair won't grow as long or if he doesn't look like you expected, you'll love him just the same. I hope that everything goes well for you healthwise with him.
Now that you do have your yorkie though, soon you will want another and you will know what to look for. There are some reputable breeders in NY, their prices might be higher but the pups are worth it.
When I was first looking for a yorkie, I found some on yorkiepup.com I called him, questioned him about the differences in prices. He basically said that the ugly ones sell cheaper then the pretty ones, and the smallest ones for even more. I didn't like the way he classified them so I didn't go any further then those questions. And then I read posts on here about him and he is just a bad bad puppy miller. He also puts his used up breeders on his page as "rescues" as is sales, they look horrible and so sad. |
Thank you for making me feel better
I already had 3 yorkies when I got CsiCsu and I had really bad experience with the last breeder(I got Chewy from) from NYC. It's just that yorkies are really over priced(even apartment breeders are asking min$1000)!!! That's why I thought it would be better to get puppy from other state and I came across Jeff's name couple of times and gave his website a try.
He website looked nice and yes, he even had rescue page which I though really nice of him!!! At first CsiCsu was $4800 and $3200 then $2800 and finally easter sale for $1300(he said because of his age/old@5month???)
When I wanted to buy him, Jeff raised his price back to $3200 and told me that his puppies are in such demands which influence the price. Supposedly, there were couple of people visited him to see CsiCsu when I called him...
He said that if I purchase puppy right away, he'll keep the price @$1300 and we bought into it...
I should have known!!!
Of course,I love CsiCsu no matter what, it's just that he seems to be always cold because of his thin coat...
I'll most definitely warn everyone I meet at doggy park,pet shop...etc not to purchase puppies from Jeff's website.
PS.. I'll post a thread about Chewy'e story later...
Thank you
