I hope this is not getting off topic about show dogs, However, I'd like to share what happened today and who I met> I had walked into Petsmart this evening and a puppy training class was going on. The trainer was fairly good, but certainly not like Victoria or Ceaser ! Anyway, I happened to look on a chair, the lay a tiny yorkie. Long haired, golden around her face , with a silver body.
It was the trainers. I had a moment to speak to her about her yorkie. This little one was about 4-5 yrs old, and the trainer has had her for a little over a yr. She was about 3lbs . This Yorkie came from champ lines, and was being used to BREED. That was all she was good for at that home. The trainer told me she is extremely timid, scared around people, and nippy. Her last litter of pups had to be A c-section.
looking at this tiny, Yorkie, it was hard to imangine her giving birth at all. Then hearing about how scared and timid she is , and what kind of life she had was absolutely heartbreaking.
In the back of my mind, I kept thinking that this is what happens to a tiny purebred yorkie who's only purpose for living was to breed
I am happy that she has a new home now, and hopfully she can overcome her fearfulness towards humans . This little girl would look towards her owner all the time for direction. The Yorkie seemed so lost and did not know how or what to do. It was very sad .
