Thank you all for yuor guidance.
When we were looking at this breeder, orignially we were interested in a good quality yorkie that , if we chose to, we could show. We were not so much interested in breeding but had begun to explore that idea.. albeit it was short lived.
The agreement was for a show/breed quality pup... at a set price.. or a pet quality pup at a set price. I chose the show/breed quality option as we thought this would insure a better quality dog. We were simply trying to choose the right option to get a good quality puppy..
The breeder has been honest and helpful and did share the vet said the pup we'd chosen (we had first pick.. and unfortuantely our puppy had this defect) had an underbite when she took them in for their 6 week check up... she siad because of this the pup would get a limitied registration rather than a full registraton and the pet price...
So we are trying to do the right thing and choose our puppy thoughtfully and respectfully.. while still feeling we should be able to have a pet quality pup not because of a defect, but because we arent going to show/breed her.. make sense?
