One, I was told she was AKC registered and I would walk away with some papers. I was able to see the sire and Dams papers on the table. I asked for a copy and they said they would copy them and bring them after work. This was last thursday (nothing) They said they had applied for the batch and expected them in two week. I honestly think I will never see them. After readng storied on here I am not sure I really care. The Vet charted her to be at least 7 pounds full grown. The owners told me the mom and dad only weighed 2 pounds, but as luck would have it, they were not on sight. She is so much fun, she is 8 weeks and I named her Celine. I may not check into breeding her. I am learning so very much thanks to you all! |
Oh congratulations, there's so much to learn when buying a new pup, I will tell you that 8 weeks is a little young for yorkies to leave their mothers, they have stopped nursing, but the mother and littermates teach them important skills, like inhibition of the biting reflex, that means the mother teaches them not bite too hard. You may have a few more problems with biting when she gets a little older, but there are many of us who can help you teach her this. Seven pounds is a great size, easy to carry and easy to bathe, but not so fragile. Celine is a beautiful name, and please do lots of research on breeding before you decide, it's not as easy as some people think, and can put Celine's health at risk if you don't know what you are doing.
