Unless you kept a 24/7 watch on your gal who was in heat, it is possible another male bred her, other than your Yorkie. Surely you, now that you have been here awhile, and have seen all the pups of around the age of Minnie and perhaps Mickey, have to be struck by the differences in them, to other purebred Yorkies.
I urge you to stick around if only to read about what health testing should be done on the breeding pair, go to ytca.org to see what the National Club has to offer in terms of seminars and learning possibilities.
Look mistakes happen, even with the very experienced breeders, health issues can crop up and take you by surprise; it is how you respond, and how you support your puppy buyers that is a very important facet of what makes a good breeder.
A little bit of research into the different registries in the States would have given you a really good clue on just how reputable ACA is.
I love this breed, and want to see healthy and fine representatives of the breed producing more lovely Yorkie pups, that meet the standard in all ways.
I can only hope that you do too! |
I agree that baboon should stick around. There's so many people here who can help you with breeding questions. I don't know how many dogs you own, but when I bred my mini schnauzer, I had only the 2 dogs with me- my girl, and the stud. If you have a few other dogs, it's very possible an accident could have happened. Wait for the DNA results, and if Minnie isn't a purebred Yorkie, take the high road and do a refund.
