Added the bolded to point out that I already answered your question....I never met her or talked to her....no.......do I wish I had in hindsight...of course...but almost all of us had less than perfect first time yorkie buying experiences.
I am still learning as we all are....I had Buddha neutered before I knew all of the potential side effects. I did it because I had always heard what everyone else has......that it is the responsible thing to do and I thought it was the best thing for him....The fact is there are no intact females where Buddha lives, he is 3 lbs so he is always inside or with my daughter 24/7. It would have been very easy in his case to prevent unwanted pregnancy as it is with most people who own yorkies imo.Being neutering has not curbed his desire to mark and he wears bellybands. Especially those who only own one.
In that case, I just feel people should be able to weigh all of the pros and cons and make a decision for each dog and not just assume that neutering is the right thing to do to every pet. That is all I am trying to impart.
