I am buying a Yorkie puppy and it will not be ready until February. The lady says she is a registered breeder. She breeds CKC yorkies. She sell's her puppies strictly by word of mouth, no advertising she says. She said she doesn't ever give her baby yorkies vaccines or wormings. She said because they are so little, it would be dangerous. She let's the new owner bare the cost and says she doesn't make any money off of breeding because of how much the vaccines have gone up. I could see that and understand...I'm waiting until it is 9 weeks old so that I can get her started on wormings and vaccines she needs because she won't have them before then. I have just recently bought a Yorkie puppy at age 11 weeks and the breeder is a registered AKC breeder who has given all of the wormings and vaccines before we picked her up. Except for the last set of shots. I will take her for that. But my question is this, how come the breeder of the pup I have now (Izzy) has had all but one set of shots and all her worming at 11 weeks and she is just as small as the other CKC ladies litter I'm to get a pup from? Am I making sense? What is your opinion? I just think if she cared about her puppies well being...if she can't afford to give them shots at the proper time then maybe she shouldn't be breeding dogs? Am I right? *sigh* |
