The parents arerobust and happy and so are the pups... and quite contrary to what you areproposing, they are not ill and I doubt they are destined to die at a youngage. Also, I did not come uponyorkietalk until a few days ago when the pups were 9 weeks old and a few daysshy of being 10 weeks of age…so what is the foundation for proposing I wastrying to get rid of them at 8 weeks of age? I am not in this for the money ...there is a lot of expense and workinvolved. In addition, if theadministrator of this forum had a problem with my 10 week old pups, I would nothave been allowed to post. Further, whois anyone to say this posting is my sole purpose… I just got here, give me abreak!
My puppies interact with their mom, dad, Kylie my otherspayed yorkie, and humans on a daily basis... all day long. They are current with all the required shotsetc. and my vet can attest to their good health. My goal is to place my pups with a lovingfamily and if I can do that my efforts will be worthwhile.
So, I have no problem with the yorkie “purists” and you arecertainly welcome to your opinion(s). However, I think there is plenty of room on this earth for people likeme too! And taking this thought one stepfurther, perhaps we should have registries for humans as well to ensure thatthe only ones allowed to be born are of the highest genetic quality. |
The link to an ad for Yorkie puppies that was posted in an earlier reply. That ad at backpage.com has your phone number on it, and was posted when the pups were 8 weeks old.
As far as health of your pups; what tests have the parents had? Do they have CHIC numbers? Have the pups been BATS tested? What is the health lineage of the ancestors in the line(s) you are breeding? What is the incidence of LP? Are the pups and parents free of LP?
Umm twenty years involved in Yorkies, and first time ever you have stumbled across this site? Wonder why; just looking for another free place to advertise?
Why would you even bother registering the pups with a registry that has a dubious at best reputation?
And the fact that you have Bred, does indeed make you a Breeder! What kind of breeder is up to each person to decide.
