I have thought about this since posting here for the first time and have talked with my husband. Many of you will be glad to know that I am not going to get this Yorkie. I would love for the breeder to keep her until at least 12-14 wks old and then I MAY (key word there) consider, but I doubt she will agree to it.
Thanks again for your response and should a enter our lives at a later time, I will be sure to come back.
thanks! |
WOW.... You sure took a lot of crap from some people, Sorry that some people feel entitle to voice there opinions in such a harsh way! Not everyone is like that. I'm fairly new to Yorkie Talk but not to raising Yorkies. Had my first one at age 14 and we bought our first family addition (a standard / not a whee little one ) when my kids were just 1 and 9 yrs old. I love the breed and I'll be damned if anyone would have talked me out of getting one just because of the age of my kids or other wise. Yorkies range in many sizes. You may want to consider finding a larger size one if you think that may be a concern with your children being participants in the care taking of the pup. Which they most certainly should be, it teaches them responsibility ! As long as you teach them how to care for and how to handle any "puppy" any breed properly it shouldn't be an issue.
Your concerns should be with the breeder and the age of the Yorkie not the Breed itself !! Keep looking for that right Yorkie breeder and just the right one for your family.
