To YorkDaddy and babiegurl some times the advice here may seem heavy handed but it actually is based on a heavy heart. ladyjane has rescued many yorkies who have serious medical issues because of bad breeding practices. They have taken in dogs from distraught owners who have purchased a puppy for unconditional love only to be heart broken by overwhelming medical issues and have ended up having to go through the heart breaking process of having to surrender their dogs to a rescue so they can get the needed medical treatment they can not afford. Her anger comes from years of helping people who are emotionally devastated by bad breeders who usually get away with not having to accept the financial or emotional responsibility of their actions. Many of us here (ME) were not knowledgeable before we got our first puppy. We fell in love with the dog and even though we like to think we are rescuing the dog from a bad breeder we are still perpetuating the process. The puppies may get out with us but the poor parents are still left there to grind out more babies. They are the true victims and they are who ladyjane is truly fighting for to end the cruelty done to them. So her posts are to educate the next person so maybe one more BYB or puppymill will close down due to lack of business.
YorkDaddy I think you have a kind a loving heart and will be a wonderful Daddy to Twix. I think you perhaps you felt you could provide a better environment for Twix that his breeder. And it was this concern that made you uncomfortable with her setup. I feel some bad breeders are not bad people just people who do not have the dog's best interest at heart. Honestly for all we know this family may know nothing about nutrition or medical care even for themselves. Many people in America eat a diet of the human version of Old Roy.
Since it is only one month I would keep Twix with the breeder. So many changes are happening in your life right now that may be unsettling for Twix. Also with moving there will be a lot of heavy boxes being stacked that might fall over when bumped, stuff waiting to be packed that a yorkie could get into. Plus the whole move is just exhausting and hectic so it might be better to wait.
YorkDaddy and babiegurl I hope you have a wonderful life with your furbabies. Best wishes
