I am soooo sorry about the pain you are having to go thru right now. You take your time to grieve, and then you do this again. While you are grieving, you get you a couple of books that I recommend all my owners get...."Yorkies for Dummies" and "Yorkshire Terriers: A Smart Owners Guide".....you read these books cover to cover, and then you set about finding your a reputable, responsible breeder. ALL YORKIE BABIES LOOK ALIKE ESSENTIALLY, SO YOU MUST CONCENTRATE ON "BUYING" YOU THE RIGHT BREEDER! This breeder loves her babies more than anything else, and she wants ONLY the best for her puppies. If you would have had a reputable breeder with little CoCo, she would have been right there for you, every step of the way, and would have picked up the vet biills, at the VERY LEAST! She would have been every bit, if not more so, as upset and distraught over the death of this baby, as you are. This baby was sick when you got her....that is the breeders respoinsibility...that is why the majority of these breeders dump these babies at 6-8 weeks of age....they dont want the added expense of vaccinations....that is also the prime time for these babies to get sick...they dont want that baby to die on THEM...rather let it die on a new owner, then they have YOU locked into getting yet ANOTHER baby from them! When you get your next Yorkie, if the breeder lets her babies go before they are 12 weeks old, before they are started on their vaccinations, before they are microchipped, before any kind of routine worming schedule has been started, before they have a clean bill of health from HER vet, if she has no contract, if she has no health guarantee that makes provisions for just such an incident as one you have just been thru, YOU RUN!!! YOU ARE NOT AT THE RIGHT BREEDER! You get the right breeder, and you will have a wonderful experience with your next baby. Dont be in a hurry...take your time....it will pay off in the end. Your new baby, from a reputable breeder, will cost you more, but it will be a healthy baby and you wont have the vet bills and the heartache you have now....THAT ALONE is worth the price!
