Thank you for sharing this, Elaine. I know it's not an easy thing to do, but I believe it will help many others who are looking for a Yorkie. Besides making us aware of these breeders, you perfectly illustrated that, when our hearts are involved, even someone very educated can ignore the warning signs. I think this should be added to one of the stickies about being careful about who you are buying a pup from and the things you should know before purchasing a pup. Your heart was so set on getting a pup as most of us are, and the experience you have shared is a very important one. Even with the heartache you are experiencing, I am glad that you didn't return your little girl. With your devotion, love, and good medical care, she will get better. With all of our babies because of their size, there is such a need for vigilance when it comes to their health. With a tiny, there are so many further precautions. I speak from personal experience. My Gracie was very little, but she was placed me when she was six months old. She was the most loving, special, and unique little girl, but she required great care and knowledge. You love Mia and will make sure that she gets what she needs. Thank you again for educating others and for giving Mia the love and care that she deserves. I truly hope that she gets better quickly and that after that she thrives with your attention and love.
