No shots or vacinations have been given to this puppy thus it is highly subject to all kinds of illnesses.
A good breeder would keep a puppy this young and bottle feed it until it is old enough to start it's vacinations. Someone that "has raised dogs" in the past and care about them should also know this.
Introducing such a young puppy to all kinds of possible illnesses as you have done is inexcusable to me and I will not change my mind.
Who was the breeder you bought him from? They are not good breeders to me. |
I would have attacked the Breeder and not her, but the Breeder is her mom, I think she really just does not know. The pup should have been with mom until 12 weeks but its not. So what we would suggest is to make sure and not take this baby out or around other dogs until 10 days after the last series of shots. Im sure your mom did her best and we have all seen so many breeders selling pups at a young age just to make money. But this is not the case. Can you keep the pups mom for a while? I know you are trying to learn, I just learned a couple of years ago so you are way ahead of me. There is alot of socialization between the ages of 8 and 12 weeks with the mom. Very Important for a Baby Yorkie to be with mom. See what you can do. But dont allow the pup to be around any other dog for now. Sorry, I dont mean to be stern, Good Luck and please keep us posted.
