hey guys update from my situation a few months back.

http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...ed-advice.html
quick link to the post incase anybody wanted it

the situation was that my girlfriends mom and her boyfriend had 2 yorkies, the female being really young and from people not watching their dogs, the female got pregnant.

now that the puppies are 7 weeks old, they are healthy and quickly growing and seem to be doing fine. we are both super excited the girl puppy we were promised is healthy, we bought her blue buffalo food and are just ready to have our new addition.

however, we have a bit of a problem on our hands. the mom's boyfriend is telling us that he doesnt want to give up the girl because she is cute and quiet, when he has 4 other dogs, not counting her, to take care of. this would be fine if he actually took care of the dogs he already had and showed that he was a responsible pet parent.

the dogs he have, never get shots, never go outside (except for MAYBE once a day), are not socialized at all, not potty trained, and never get any form of exercise. we are really worried that our puppy is going to end up like the rest of the dogs in the house. we want to give her as great of a life a dog can have, but we are scared that due to these circumstances, we will not be able to.

my girlfriends mom cant really be of help in this issue because they are splitting up and although the mom always tried to take care of the dogs, without her there then there is no way the dogs will be taken care of.

my girlfriend is really upset and i have no idea what to do.

any advice?
