I am the proud parent of a 10 week old yorkie/ maltese cross and he is amazing. Smart, beautiful, sweet. But I think we got him from what I've heard is called a *backyard breeder* We were rather impulsive when we decided to get a dog and picked him from an ad in the classifieds. The lady said she was a registered breeder- which I know she wasn't because he isn't purebred. Something from the get go made us go *hmmmm* but when we went to go get him, it was clean, the puppies were happy and active and she had other pets- it seemed fine. Plus we fell in love. But since, I've noticed she has posted 3 additional litters. That seems like alot. I'm concerned that she is impregnating the mothers too much and I wonder what that does to the babies. Is there anything I need to watch for? The vet said he was healthy. I've had health concerns with previous dogs and I don't want to see anything happen to this little guy. His eyes tear alot. Is that normal as well? Besides that, he is active and eating well. I adore him.
