As long as they are healthy and sweet..I guess it should not matter. |
Gracie was 8 months old when I got her from a local breeder. It was a bit of a drive but it was a beautiful drive.
Anyhow she was used to a doggy door and we didn't have one.
But she was super friendly when we met her and knew she was the one. I thought she was 1200.00 like the others but then when we paid her she charged us only $700.00.. And it was only because she had floppy ears.
This breeder had several yorkies running around the house and they were groomed, clean, and ALL were friendly, not even one of them shied away from us. When I get my male pup the end of the year I am going to go back to her.
I didn't want to deal with raising another little one at that time so getting an older puppy worked out well. She is 11 months now and pretty much house trained, attached to us instantly and is a good little girl.
