Most just give you a puppy and I give you your money. Maybe somebody wronged you I don't know. But I don't wrong my new families. I help them along the way and help to educate them. I haven't sold one puppy with breeding rights either. They've all gone to their homes on spay neuter contracts. Thank you and have a nice day. |

Like I said my Yorkies are the same size as my 6 lb Chihuahuas were. I looked at 6 lb Yorkies and my gosh they were huge! I sized one up to my 20lb Pug. IMO he's big. I'm used to small dogs and I'm going to keep small ones. |
How well do you know your lines? It took me minutes to look up the pedigree of the male you are talking about. The breeder you got him from is USDA "A" and sells to pet shops and brokers. Maybe you bought him from the broker that sold your males parents at auction??
I would complain about any breeder who is selling unhealthy dogs of any size.
6lbs is huge? The Yorkie standard is not to exceed 7lbs. If you don't like the Yorkie standard, it begs the question as to why you are breeding Yorkies instead of sticking with chihuahuas!
Trying to breed down the size of Yorkies seems like you are asking for trouble down the road, especially if your Yorkies are coming from questionable beginnings!
I'm glad to hear you don't sell your puppies on full registration and it's all well and good that you will refund money, but that doesn't change the fact you are breeding dogs that are very tiny!
