I was just look for imput on how others handle puppies who like to use us as chew toys.
My dog is not a puppy mill dog. I have followed this breeder for 7 or more years. |
I never said you puppy is from a puppy mill I was sharing my experience with a bad breeder. I am pretty stuck on the 12 week rule because of my research and the trust I put in the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America and them knowing what is best for Yorkies more then even most vets because vets can't know everything about every breed there are just to many. I think it is especially important if the puppy is going to be an only dog and not have other dogs in the house to learn from. I worried that if they skip one of the important step what else could they have skipped or cut corners in. Also just being a breeder who shows doesn't make you a good breeder.
