I am one of those people who bought a pup (Japanese Chin/Poodle mix) on a whim from a family owned and run pet store in my area. Knowing what I know now, I will never do it again, but I can't say that I regret it as I love my little guy so much.
I completely agree that people really need to research what they are getting into. What is so sad about this post is that she didn't learn. She got rid of her Yorkie because it required too much grooming, but then ran out and bought another long haired dog, but with even more grooming problems. Yes, Yorkies require a lot of grooming, but at least they don't shed. Japanese Chins require just as much grooming and are heavy shedders! I wonder how long she will keep him after figuring this out!
