But about a year after I got him I realized how awful this place was. Of course, I didnt pay $1,200 or even close to that. I am so glad I know now and I would never do that again. We just got lucky that he is healthy because this breeder has tons of sick tiny puppies. I just had no idea. Anyway, I am terribly sorry for your loss. |
Thank you. It was a sad lesson to learn. You feel so helpless when the vet sends you home week after week with medication to try to help her with the symptoms. He finally decided after 3 long weeks to refer us to a specialist. She made it for one visit. She was going to get scheduled for surgery to take care of the Liver Shunt when she passed away. She was only 5lbs and had the heart the size of a lab puppy for her age. When I approached the breeder they said that it must have been something that she got into with me because this was their second litter from this pair and I was the only one to have a problem. After the necropsy was done they spayed their female. I am glad that of the 4 puppies that were born from the 2 litters that only my little girl suffered but I would have preferred that she had not either. They did not even have the parents pedigree.
When I got my Yorkies I checked their lines to make sure there were no cross overs for 4 generations back. They have good lines.
