3. Can I have a copy of the contract and health guarantee to get information from YT or better yet, my lawyer before the final purchase.
Theres more... but I'm sure your reading here about all those things. You can never be to careful.
If your pups mom is under 5lbs. theres a strong chance, a definite chance your dealing with an unethical breeder, hopefully thats not the case.
If it is the case you may want to reconsider. The health of these pups that are born to moms under 5lbs. is always a concern.
I'm so glad you found YT before you got your pup. Feel free to ask any and all questions, educate yourself.
Also, please, please, please read as much info as you can.
Welcome to YT and Good Luck! |
Thanks for the reply & the welcome
The breeder is a family friend so I hope these things aren't the case. The dog is half paid for & my daughter visits him regularly at the breeders house until he is ready, so I will still be purchasing him as I couldn't turn round & say we're not getting him now
I will however be letting the breeder know that there is no such thing as a mini yorkie and will be keeping a tight eye on him once he's home here... If there are any issues I won't be long in banging on their door as they only live down the street... Cheers for the info
