When we think of a getting a Yorkie, we all have that fantasy of that cute baby doll face with a short nose and perky little ears and cute little body. But what happens when you decide to adopt a yorkie and it has the opposite of all those traits? That is my dilemma now. I am at a crossroad. I love the picture perfect yorkies we all see in those magazines that make our hearts melt..but than there are those sweet little or big yorkies that the breeder didn't want or couldn't sell. The yorkie I am about to meet from a rescue is 7lbs at 6months, has large floppy ears, undocked tail, and may be a parti..but not sure. He has the sweetest face but is not what I was looking for. But I can't stop thinking about him. I am at a place now where I can afford to get that baby-faced yorkie..but am wondering if I should give up my fantasy for now and rescue? Has anyone adopted a puppy mill rescue or breeder surrender and has no regrets? Thanks!! sorry for such a long thread.. |
Well if you fall in love once you see him...get him!
But he doesn't sound purebred to me. If a
is what you want that fits the standard description, then IMO you should keep loooking. I waited for months before deciding on my baby, because I wanted one that looks like those in the magazines. She was worth the wait.
