Your breeder does not sound on the up and up if she finally said I don't know if they are a mixed, a good breeder even just a decent backyard breeder knows these things. Sometimes how much you spend can be a good indicator, when I bought my last purebred yorkie around 9 years ago he came from a show breeder and cost $1,800.00. Lola is a mix and I paid $450.00 for her, but I knew she was a mix from the get go and that is what I wanted.
I feel for you because I would have a hard time dealing with a breeder or a seller of a dog that I did not think was at least honest about their breed. Also I am not sure if you said how old they were or what weight they are, if they are say 8-10 weeks and two or three pounds you could wind up with a much larger dog than you were expecting. There is nothing wrong with having a larger toy dog, but to me if you wind up with one that is 14 lbs when you were expecting 5-6 lbs that could be a problem and upsetting. So many people are mislead it drives me nuts. A gal from our neighborhood bought a papilion mix and when the dog was about 4 months old it was about 6 lbs the gal kept telling me it will not get any bigger, because the Pet Store told her it would be about 6 lbs, well the dog is about 14 lbs and she paid over $1,500 for it!
Did you have a contract or at least a bill of sale, what breed did it say.
I still think your pups are super adorable and LOL in some ways cuter than the traditional yorkies, but it all boils down to what you wanted in your heart and how you will feel as they grow they do not look like the picture of the yorkie you had in your mind. |
first off... i just wanted to say thank you for your kind words. i bought those two puppies for $250 each... she said that the reason they're $250 is because she didn't have papers. the mom and dad did indeed look like the general yorkie does. but you are probably correct. they probably are a mix and if they are, that is completely okay with me because i absolutely love them so much. yes it will piss me off because she should NOT have lied, when i gave her so many opportunities to tell me the truth and i even sounded like i didn't care if they were mix, i just reallly want to know what kind of dogs they are. the mom and dad are not registered either so i'm sure they're mixed with something as well and just happen to get the full yorkie look. oh well, what can you do ya know? thanks for your time and i appreciate your advice. no matter what breed they are i will forever love them. but it would be nice to know what they are
i do want to know though.. how big typically do morkies get?
