With Yorkie pups being so subject to change, you would think that people might value an older pup more as there would be less mystery on how it would turn out. Looks like it used to be that way, but somewhere that thinking changed. |
I have a choice now between waiting for a litter or picking a 1 yr. old. My only doubt would be is will the older pup like it's new home after being in the breeders home for a year. Also, I think people like puppies because they see it as "new"..weird but true. I think I would like both..I would love to have an older pup first and than later introduce a puppy to the family. The breeder is asking the same price for all her dogs.
As long as they are healthy and sweet..I guess it should not matter.
