I also got a 5 month old from a show breeder who died 5 weeks later due to congenital kidney failure that neither the breeder or I could foresee. I still think anytime you take on a pet their is a risk for health issues and more so for small breeds. That doesn't mean only the very rich should own one. As long as one is prepared thats all you can do. Now she knows she has to be extra cautious and what to watch for and plan for. It sounds like she has a good support system in place, bought insurance and learned a lot on YT. I don't want to lose another person who could continue to learn a lot as she raises her baby. I hope Roxy has a long and healthy life with you. |
Everybody is so worried about losing new members who you say are learning when really they only chose the information they want to use to "learn". Does any one care about the old members who are getting batted around and sniped at by other old members? I doubt it I have had several people tell me how fed up they are with how old member are treating each other and I get it! When you have already bought the dog at own it before 12 weeks ok the damage is done then learn about what can happen and learn what to do next time but when you have the knowledge and then buy the dog under 8 weeks I think there is a problem. If people keep buying from these bad breeders they are just going to continue to sell. How many litters a year do the female yorkies at you "breeders" place have a year? Bet its more then it should be!
