I had been searching for a chocolate yorkie (not to breed just to have) for about 3 years. I stumbled upon Ella a few times but only saw baby pictures so I figured if it was meant to be she'd be available in a month or two. And sure enough she was. Well long story short, I convinced the breeder to let me have her at a lowered price (MUCH lower than even her pet asking price) but I had to promise to responsibly breed her. At this point I'd be happy with fixing her, no papers or anything (since she is a biro/chocolate biewer I can't do anything show wise anyways. But the problem is that had not given the breeder a dime towards the puppy in 4months. So I feel guilty for asking her if we can terminate part of our agreement. Should I just pay her more for the pet price? She is an amazingly trusting WONDERFUL lady. She works with another lady and they breed biewers and other animals. They each own their own farm, it is gorgeous there (that's coming from a city girl).
When should I expect the swelling to go down? I felt her nipples today (I was just rubbing her belly when I noticed ...) some of the nipples were hardish mass in them. Is this normal? I feel so nervous. I've kept the boys as separate as I can. I NEVER leave them by themselves (always crated when I'm gone, not in the room someone boys or girl are crated). I have NEVER seen them tie. |
oh wow, ok, If I was you and I had the money I would just give her the rest of the money, but then again that is up to you. like my mentor loves to say..." A tie not always means pregnancy and a pregnancy is not always from a tie" so IF and I mean IF any doubt I would have her check by a vet. is so many little tiny details in nature that I never leave anything to chance.. I noticed my girls teats look a bit like you discribe when they are pregnant, then again a false pregnancy can bring in all the symptoms too..
