Dawn, you seem like a very nice person, but I'm hoping some of you are here to learn things. Selling on a spay and neuter contract is so important, it's one of the best things a breeder can do to ensure your pups won't be going into a hostile environment. There are seriously many people who will breed them to death, especially if they are AKC. As you know most dogs shouldn’t even be bred, you have no way of knowing at this age if the dogs should be bred, their health, physical traits and personality traits should be evaluated first. It doesn’t sound like you evaluated your breeding female good enough since she rejected her pups and I hope you don’t breed her again, puppies that have a poor mother also make poor mothers and this means none of your females should produce pups. It’s difficult enough to train Yorkies, but not having the proper socialization with the mother and littermates can produce pups that have two of the biggest training issues, housebreaking and biting. There’s no way you could know if the people who bought your pups are responsible enough to be breeders. Good breeders have to check out someone for years before they will consider selling a breeding dog. If indeed, you are selling them on open registration, please think about changing this, it’s one of the most important things you can do to protect the breed!
