I finally got a Biewer after months and months of searching and she arrived last Wed. at 2.8 lbs. Every time I see a (hope I spell this right) Mardelin post....I always learn something. |
Don't beat yourself up....all has turned out well. We've all been down that road.....yes, even me. I did everything wrong the first couple of times. I wasn't showing or breeding at the time, so I can thank goodness for that. But, my first yorkie was purchased from a breeder out of the newspaper (although, she led me to the Regional Club in Dallas), brought her home at 8 weeks of age, with Coccidia and the 2nd I bought at the Flea Market, horrible knees, no contract. The 2nd one was AKC registerable on an open registration, but because of questionable parentage were revoked.....just one thing after another. Could you imagine if I had set out to breed with these 2 girls........what I mess I would have been in.
