Sadly when he was only 8 months old, as my daughter was getting him out of the car he slipped his lead and ran across the road and got run over. The breeder heard about it and rang me. we both cried to each other on the phone and she said she'd just had a litter of pure bred Yorkies and I could go an pick one. We and daughter (still absolutely distraught as she felt respopnsible for Harry's death) went to visit Anne the breeder and she brought the litter down to us. There were five, one very small and getting pushed around by his brothers/sisters. Anne then brought the the mother to see us and the little pup rushed over to her and hid under her and she licked him. It was so touching and daughter said "Please have the little one". I know we are not supposed to pick the runt of the litter but we did and that's our darling Teddy. |
That is not a breeder I would recommend.
