Upon meeting the puppies parents, they where yappers, aggressive (the owner warned me that they bite) but tiny and kept out doors (where they also have kittens, and other dogs). Then I was taken into the house to see the babies.....They where 8 weeks old with very bloated bellies (despite the owners saying they had been fully wormed) and even saw a flea jump off of one of them. After see these things, i decided these puppies probably where not going to be for me. Even after the owner says, "puppies grow into what you raise them to be," but i just had a feeling that buying a puppy with aggressive, loud parents could end up being a recipe for disaster. I just want a mello, AKC Yorkie with a nice calm temperment. Am i being too nit picky? is it true you can turn any puppy into how you want with the proper training? Feedback please? |
You have every right to be picky! That pup will be part of your family for the next 15yrs or so. I would have passed on those pups as well...as Yorkiemom1 said buy your breeder first, there are some good breeder on this site...check the breeders section. Also check the YTCA website for a list of breeders.
It took me 6mths to find my breeder...my baby comes home in early September, at 12wks.
