[QUOTE=Kellylyn;4227361]I think I'm more hurt then anything else!! The lady I bought my kiddos from was like a mentor to me, I had? Have? A lot of respect for her. My feelings are if you have a dog you CARE for it and it stays in the house!!one of the family, Kids, Loves of your life!! If your going to breed to take all the steps to ensure you have HEALTHY babies no matter the cost. I took Tiff to the Groomers yesterday I knew she was a doll under the uneven cut she had (I was so very right!) =) Her little smile just melts my heart. She watches out for Tucker you can tell there is a real bond with them ( I know it sound silly) Tiff didn't look as bad as Tucker My Prayer is that once I get them vetted and ok'ed to get him groomed he'll surprise me like Tiff did. I wish I knew how to post pics =([/QUOT

How To Post Pictures Oh gosh in the Forum called Yorkie Pictures there are some instructions. My attempt to link it right here on your thread failed...sigh
You are very correct. Unless there was some major illness and other catastrophies over the last few years it is hard to fathom the condition they are in.
It is going to be pricey to bring all their pre breeding health screenings up todate. Very easily $500 each.
Is your gal underweight do you think?
You might want to have them evaluated by an experienced Yorkie breeder as well in terms of the YT standard.
You are in Wyoming. I think we have a few members maybe a breeder that is located in Wyoming.
Also if you go to
www.akc.org, and you can look up shows in Wyoming and see if any are closer to you.
I am geographically challenged but we have some good Canadian breeders in British Columbia - not sure if that province is far away from you or not.
My Fair Lacy, Gemy, Brooklyn, CarlyBaby, Topknot, Maggies2007 or is it MaggiesMom2007 close anyhoo, Amazing Yorkies, and more all own show yorkies. If you go to the showing and information forum, you can see some pictures here of show Yorkies.
Also
www.ytca.org has pics of puppies as they grow up.
Schanuzer is the probable closest to the Yorkie. Straighter shoulders, head is quite different of course, not to mention the coat:-) I am assuming you own the Toy Group Schnauzer and not the Giant? TAilset and carriage is different too, as well as musculation. THat means a Schauzer should have denser/stronger muscles I believe then the average Yorkie.
Anyway good luck at the vets. Seriously hope all is well and only a dental on the boy is needed!
