OMG, it is one thing to let a large, say 2 pound, Yorkie pup leave its mom and littermates at 8-10 weeks. But, it is inexcusable to place such a small fragile puppy in a new home at this weight. IMO a responsible breeder would insist on keeping a puppy that tiny with its mom and littermates til it is old enough to have a blood panel done to check for preliminary signs of PSS. Is its fontanel closed? Heart check out okay? I know not all tinies have health problems but the chance is still present..
Not only does the breeder have a responsibility to keep the puppy for a longer period but the buyer also has a responsibility to pay for the baby and leave it in the proper environment til it has a better chance of surviving..
I know you will love that baby, but it could also be loved when it is a little older and larger.
Sorry, if I hurt feelings cause I do not intend to. My concern is the best interest of the Yorkie baby.. |
