You can tell Cynthia that you will not consider a dog under a certain weight when mature. Cynthia's contract will insist that you have the dog evaluated by a vet within so many days of purchase. The one issue that I had that the final worming was not done. I have had Yorkies for over 40 years and have had one that was 18 when he finally met his maker. I bred that dog. I am not a breeder but I do not like when individuals make unfair assessments of breeders without knowing them. Do your homework on the blood lines and from genetic history, you can try to evaluate if you will have a healthy pet. There are no guarantees for anyone in their lifetime but you can eliminate certain ailments like shunts (which has been a common genetic issue with Yorkies). |
I am a bit confused, have I missed something, there are only 11 posts here including this one and none have mentioned smaller sized dogs or bad feedback for this breeder. Maybe some posts have been removed? This is also a very old thread, so not even sure this breede is still breeding.
