Yorkies are expensive, and they are a living breathing commitment that hopefully you have for at least 10 years. So when I read these threads I can't help but screaming the question why would you spend less time researching the breed and how to purchase it then you would if you were buying a smart phone or a laptop. I can't accept that someone would say, I was walking by a pet store and this dog caught my eye, or there was a shopping cart full of cute puppies and I could not resist a a pair of them. Sure I might go to the grocery store for milk and in a moment of weakness buy a chips and a chocolate cake, but not a frigging puppy!!! |
Our local mall has one of those pet stores. I walked in there one day looking for a particular product that I usually buy online. A lady was standing there with a little "designer" dog she was thinking of buying. It was adorable but obviously sick as it had a two toned watery diarrhea. She says to me, " I know I shouldn't buy from a pet store because they come from puppy mills but they have to have homes so I figure I am giving it a good home." That type of reasoning just made my jaw drop. You try to reason with these people but there is a lot of stupidity out there. If that kind of reasoning is live at the pet store I guess it can find it's way to YT.
