AND usually there is a huge difference in price of a pet/companion verus a breeding/show dog. Again if I am placing a pet...then I do not guarantee the ears to come up or stay up. Altho most of the time my Yorkies ears do come up and stay errect. A dog sold under a breeding contract is a whole different thing. Hey we ARE dealing with genetics after all what would you have breeders do with their floppy ear puppies? Not all ears do come up naturally. Even after 5 generations I still have a puppy ocassionly who's ears are floppy. Even Yorkies with floppy ears deserve loving forever homes. Again I thought we were speaking and discussing HEALTH issues. Please somebody help me. I can converse on both topics.
YES if you purchased your Yorkie on a BREEDING contract then you have every right to expect the ears to be errect. |
Sorry to have confused you. I am just now learning all this stuff. I wasn't even aware that there are separate contracts. Thankfully, my breeder is very experienced and knowledgable. She knew I was looking for a male to breed. I bet you have wonderful puppies. I am now actively searching for a female. I have learned so much on here that i hope I know how to pick the right one now. I just wish some of you gals lived closer to me so I could buy from one of you. You are right, yorkies with floppy ears do deserve wonderful homes and they are cute. Just not for me. But I am sure if it accidently happened or Ceeby's go down when teething and don't come back up, I won't love him any less. He is my forever baby now no matter what. I would mjust have to have him neutered and try again for a breeder. Again, sorry if you thought I was off topic. The floppy ears things people were posting just kind of jumped out at me. Didn't mean to cause trouble by my question.
