So that is very possible a bigger dog that is still CKC (or AKC in the US). |
Yes CKC is the Canadian AKC.
Like I said, I was very uneducated..lol

I guess my breeder was not one of the worst. She came with 2 sets of shots and microchipped, but not one of the best. but I would not go back to her knowing what I know now. Anyway, I lost her contact info as well. She did ask about the baby (Uni) and ask for photos though. And her daughter played with the pups everyday and "named" them all. But I guess you could have called her borderline byb/hobby breeder. (Hobby breeders don't get mad, she had a dog stroller/dog clothing manufacturing company, so I know she did love dogs, just didn't do all the testing she should have.)

Ya, we were lucky too. Derby's breeders seemed super cool and their little girl was very attached to Derby. She cried when my husband took him! but my husband said he really got a good "feeling" from the breeders and felt that they were "good people" and with a good price at $850 he thought he was getting a deal vs some ads saying $1200-$1500 for CKC pups. He came with pee pads, papers that say "Yorkshire" on it, papers with the shots they had gotten done, a few toys, food (although now we know it was crap food -Iams!-). He's on Orijen now, the vet says he's healthy and at 10 pounds we're not complaining. lol
He's definitely not puppy mill material, but I couldn't tell you if he was the first litter for these breeders, or they were backyard breeders...Honestly, I don't care.
What I would have liked to see were Derby's puppy parents. That, I never saw
neither did my husband since these people "delivered". We didn't have a car, and they wanted to see our home and living conditions... They had a heart for who their dogs were going to at least.
