And, surely you expect the yorkie to live beyond 10. Sure, anyone can die at any age, but what kind of rational is that really? Look at the odds.
I really need to start keeping a count of how many pups I see turned into shelters or directly to rescues by people who had promised to care for them after their owners died. I think a lot of you would be very surprised. It happens a LOT.
Just my two cents. I know lots of you will disagree which is fine, but I just wanted to give my feedback for thought. |
Well, I guess if yorkies live to be 100, not many of us should be buying them.
