 Thank you and other
Thank all of you for replying. Many good questions to ask, and some for me. I think if you are a breeder - then you knew why you got into breeding. I did not do so to sell puppies. After much research and other we chose a Yorkie - our Zoie - to fill a hole after loosing our Scottie to a tumor. Zoie did more than that, fill a hole, and both my husband and I became wrapped around her paws. I wanted more Yorkies, and then we got Zach. Their personalities and what they brought to us, as well as their "lines" told me they would make beautiful babies. I've had the same vet for 20 years and would not have bred Zoie and Zach if I did not or my Vet approve - with the full intention of keeping the puppies - and as you should know - five is a big brood for Yorkies. If I do sell any of my puppies - it will not be because I have to, but because someone can love and spoil them as much as I and know the amount of time and care they take. It is like having children - and yes - I did have their dew claws removed - and dewormed and health checked and so on, and they are chunky and happy, cleaned, well fed, mothered, and loved. And yes - each day brings a stronger attachment. I'm just wondering too - how you get over it if you let one of your babies go? |
