I am so mad. Why do people pay 2,000 for a dog from a breeder that claims to be AKC. Any responsible dog would not let a dog go home so early.
They think everything is ok because this dog is eating....OMG.....I hate this.
My question is does AKC have a standard for when the dog should be able to go home? 12 to 14 weeks? |
Not sure if they have suggestions on that, but the Yorkshire Terrier Club of Aergica believes that no Yorkie should be sold before 12 weeks. Being the breed's official club, I would think more breeders would listen to them.
