She did warn me about hypoglycemia and other things and said she was open to me to come visit the parents. Due to this not being a intentional mating, my baby was only sold for 150.00 and she don't plan on mating them in the future due to her own lack of knowledge for breeding. We'll see. |
Wow, that's a unique story. Well, since the breeder wasn't experienced, you might need to keep an extra look-out for genetic issues that she didn't or couldn't test for. Seeing a good vet who is experienced with Yorkies will help a lot--they will be able to check for luxating patella, liver issues, etc., if any symptoms develop (and hopefully they won't develop!). I wish the best of health and happiness to your new one, and shame on the breeder for revealing the price of your boyfriend's gift, LOL!
