If a Yorkie was 6 weeks old and was at a shelter would you take her? Because I would. I would give her a home regardless. Sophie probably was a result of a puppy mill and she probably was overbred. She has some skin allergies but that is her only limitation. I guess she's lucky. And I do have a Yorkie puppy...I got her because I love Yorkies and wanted to raise one. And now Sophie has a friend :-) I'm just wondering what everyone here thinks of all the Yorkies who have become victims to us humans. Not just the breeders, humans in general. Because not all dogs that end up in shelters had bad breeders, some of them had bad owners. There is a difference. I'm just wondering how many of you adopted your Yorkie? I'm sure there is more than I realize. |
A puppy and dog from a shelter is a lot different then from a bad breeder. With a bad breeder you are keeping them in business and supporting them. If I get another yorkie it will be from a rescue more then likely. My mom has a rescue yorkie and we worked through most of his problems and he is such a great dog and so smart. When my parents got him is eyes where so dim but now after two years his eyes are so bright its just awesome.
