I checked the local rescue — Idaho Yorkie Rescue — ADOPTIONS —*RescueMe.Org who has one strange looking dog. So, I found one I could afford. I would have preferred getting one from a better place, but unfortunately that didn't work out. I posted here for any reputable breeders to pm me. No reply. I appreciate all of your concerns for my puppy. I have appreciated all of the tips. I am picking her up tomorrow. I understand we all have our opinions and feelings regarding where puppies come from, and I appreciate the differences. I will not be discussing my puppy's age anymore. I would like to share my experiences here with everyone else. If it offends anyone where I got my puppy or how old she is, please feel free not to converse with me. I'm ok with that. Otherwise, I look forward to raising my puppy and being able to ask questions, share photos, get advise, and hear everyone's stories. |
Wishing you the very best with your baby girl. As to the reason most good breeders and rescues won't discuss a price change I think they feel if you cannot pay the asking price you cannot afford the subsequent medical care that can and usually does arise with these baby's. Yorkies need reg vet checks, shots, worming, teeth cleaning, etc. I helped my sister in law with her puppy that she got at 7 weeks. It was quite a challenge. One she couldn't meet so it was left to me to keep her alive. She is doing well now but I can tell you it was really touch and go at first. I hope your baby will do well. Welcome to YT.
