Breeders selling toy yorkies and talking about tiny weights are not going to be good breeders so it's the luck of the draw what you wind up with health wise. The only way to get a puppy and have a good idea what the weight will be is to buy one around 4 to 5 months of age, and even then their can be surprises. I am not sticking up for this breeder because he does sound unethical, but if weight is your criteria those are the kinds of breeders you most likely are going to wind up with |
I was unaware that this was uncommon or harmful to the puppies. My mom saw one somewhere, and has always wanted one since. My mom loves the puppy, but she is a house pet and not something that she can take in her purse. She wants something that she can take places, and I don't know what to do for her. I tried getting her what she wanted and its blown up in my face. I still feel as though I was ripped off, and feel I could have gotten a healthier puppy from a different breeder for a lot less money.
