I paid over $2000 for a stud and did not know until I had a litter of puppies if all his man parts was working. If they did not I could not blame the breeder, that is something a breeder can not see happening.
For as the pictures that is why I would never buy a puppy off the net with out looking into the person BIG TIME. So call breeders use other people's photos, lie about size & Pedigrees. I will stay with breeders that lives close enough to drive to. She should be luck to get a show breeder to sell breed rights to her, but I think if she bought a CH-sired puppy that is what she should have got. 2 wrongs never make a right. |
Julie, I agree with you that a person can never truely know what size a dog will end up finishing at but probably 90% of the time. A person can get some "idea" as to a finished size (so I'm told) by using the 8 week times 3 method, 12 weeks times 2 method, or the Yorkie Growth Chart (Yorkie Passion) helps as a guideline. Their chart has this pup at 23+ weeks (she was 23 weeks exact on Monday) to be a 3 lb finished dog. Right now, she weights 2 lbs and 7 oz with her belly full to the brim. If people could see her in person, and see my 4lb male (2+ year old), they would have to agree with me that she's not even going to get near the 4 lb range.
I have no arguements with you or anyone else about her weight it's just that a couple of posts back, some persons were thinking she might make 4 lbs and that maybe she'd still be breedable or what ever. But she won't.
My point to nay sayers (lol) again is this. I purchased two females but one was sold off to someone else. The smaller non-breedable dog was sold and I was never notified. I found it out thru casual conversation weeks later that she was sold to someone else. I wrote and asked how this was allowed to happen and I told how sick I was about this. It was expalined away as the seller decided that she was to small for me, she was sick all the time, I was a breeder and she was NOT the dog for me, etc. So, I blew that off and remained on course for the one dog left. The 5lb (+/-) that I was told would be perfect for the male I have. She was CH sired from CA Wild Make Trouble. She had Turaynne lines on dad's side, mom's side only had
a couple CH's in 5 Generations. Dad's had around 8 in 5 Generations. Stellar Pedigree? A: no! But cute puppies from this mix (IMO) Where I'm going with this is that I "thought" I had purchased a CH sired female. Ended up that what was shipped to me wasn't CH sired at all. I was pleasantly surprised (being sarcastic there) with a itty bitty puppy that is from Emperador 1 and Emperador 1 is NOT a CH dog. Emperador's daddy is a CH (Make Trouble). And Make Troubles daddy is a CH (Turyanne Mischief Maker) and his daddys is a CH (Turyanne Bootin Tootin Jefree (USA AKC REGISTERED). But that's the deal.
