Your little baby is beautiful. Nobody here has a problem with your precious girl; it's just breeders who are breeding these hybrid designer dogs to capitalize on the popularity of them without paying careful attention to the health and well being of these precious babies. I wanted a Yorkie because I love their temperament. I absolutely love everything about them. I got my little girl from a hobby show breeder who is a dog trainer. She puts her heart and soul into her dogs, and she does all of the important health tests. I knew that a Yorkie from her would look like the breed standard and also have a great Yorkie temperament. I knew she would also be very athletic, because that's what lines she tries to breed. I think the mixes are beautiful, too, but the problem is that you don't know what the dog is going to grow up looking like. My sister was given a Yorkiepoo after people bought the dog and decided a few days later they didn't want it. Greta is a sweetheart, but she looks nothing like a Yorkie and somewhat like a poodle. She's a great jdog, but who knows what genetic nightmares could turn up because they probably weren't genetically screened?
I'd suggest you get insurance for your pup so that, if anything comes up that your breeder refuses to cover, you won't have to worry about veterinary care. The LP might not be covered because it's now considered preexisting. It's likely it will go away if you properly exercise her and build up her muscles. Swimming is great for dogs with LP. Be careful on slippery floors, and don't let her jump from the furniture. I have a set of stairs by my bed.
I hope you and your puppy have a long, healthy, loving life together. |
