As a breeder and Yorkie owner let me address a few of your statments.
"have talked to the V.A. at the vet i'm going to take my pup to, she said it's very common for a pup to come home at 6-8 weeks though some other opinions say 8-10 weeks."
Common yes safe or a good idea for a toy breed absolutely not.
"They wean at 5.5 weeks by starting to take the mom away for 1/2 a day and feeding the pups crushed puppy food Diamond brand"
I start mine out on puppy food at 4 weeks and weened at 7
"he is driving over 4 hours to bring a pup to someone else and i will be meeting him and the pup and his daughter and the neighbor who bought a different pup and got her at 6 weeks.
of course he can spend the 60 bucks for gas afterall they have spent little to nothing on this pups care already.
"Mom goes back out to the kennels and the pups stay inside until they can be brought to their new owners"
This one makes me very sad ,people have got to consider not just the pups health and living conditions but also the parents.
"done this for a long time, no complaints no problems, the parents are both healthy and great"
why just because they say so?What proof did they show you?
"no physical deformities for a year"
This a a strange guarantee after all wouldnt it be evident from birth of any physical deformities?
"They aren't pressuring me at all"
They dont need to everyone who doesnt know any better is looking for a
deal.
However I do wish you and Sadie the best,I just woudlnt have felt right if I didnt speak up. |
I completely agree with this post. Another statement that bothered me is that they are doing this for FUN. Come on now, it's not fun raising a litter and taking care of them, but I guess it can be fun making money off of something that they haven't really done much with.
The entire thing makes me sick. I know how hard I work on raising a litter, and believe me, it's a lot of work. It's people like this breeder that makes it difficult for the rest of us.
