I understand everyones passion, heart and wisdom that have gone into the responses so I am learning and paying attention to each of them.
So thank you all. As for home date, it will depend on when Riley is ready and I know he will have more chance of a great start cause of this thread and the advice given here. I can't walk away from him, I won't even apologize for that weakness. I would frankly rather deal with the loss of respect that I will get from a few you than undo my promise to him. It has been a couple weeks since I met him I think and yet I can still remember the way he felt in my hands and the look on his face. I was already bonded and I can't help that now.
That being said IF I ever consider myself able to have another yorkie, I will be going to a YT recommended breeder and make sure he/she is 12 wks and everything else I have learned here will be followed to the letter. |
Very happy to hear that your breeder is willing to let him stay with her and his mom a little longer...every day helps.
Sorry to hear that some comments hurt your feelings, but it is nice to know that you understand how passionate people on this forum are. Most who responded to you to wait etc...were doing so for the well-being of the pup...they have your yorkie's best interest at heart.
You are fortunate to have heard from some of the most knowledgeable people on this forum and I am glad that you have followed their advice. I think we all understand how easy it is to fall in love with these guys and impossible it would be to just walk away.
Whenever you bring your pup home, you will be much more prepared.
Enjoy your new little one when he arrives...I cannot wait to see his 1st home pictures!!
