I have no agenda for asking just very curious about how all this works, because my sister in law has done that for a westie group in Nashville but she fostered the mom she did not adopt the mom. The puppies were kept in her master bathroom and between the mom and the puppies she was busy round the clock |
I wasn't going to keep one because My mom (who I still live with) Has 4 yorkies. (2 males and 2 females) as well as 2 shelties ( both female) and I was thinking another yorkie would be too much for me. ( I believe they are full blooded yorkie, the lady I got her from had only yorkies, I have newer pics I can post some later
) We did not know she was pregnant until she started showing after she was at my house. We paid to have the tails docked and everything. They have been to the vet twice ( once same day they were born to make sure she had all her puppies, they predicted 5 but she had 4 and they gave her a shot to help with her milk production) and the second time was for the tail docking) We have so many people interested its crazy! I wont be "selling" them, just more so asking for the price of the visit to the vet and tail docking & dew claw removal fee with shots) I am just happy that the mom made it through without any complications! I did stay tuned into the breeder section of yorkie talk for a couple of weeks to make sure I was doing everything right! but Every puppy turned out perfect! I basically adopted her from a friend who "didn't know she was pregnant" *insert eye roll* but has other male yorkies that are still intact. The mom is going to be fixed as soon as she is done with her puppies
Basically all costs and fees from the vet are being paid out of pocket of both my mom and I. I didn't expect to make money out if it, I just didn't want to lose any precious puppies or the mom to the stupidity of someone else.
