As with any mutt, you just have to get to know the dog. One pup from the litter could have more poodle hair while one has more yorkie like hair. one may act more like a poodle, one may act more like a yorkie. and so on and so on. Not one will ever be the same as far as looks, personality, body structure, etc. |
Unfortuantly some rescues are not the nicest when it comes to people wanting to adopt. I was put through a year of misery when I started looking into adopting. I am allergic to most dogs so I was limited in breeds, and wanted something on the small side. I tried two yorkies rescued, one told me since I lived at home my parents was have to adopt it and be the resposible party for the rest of it's life. Another told me I couldn't adopt any of their yorkies because I was 27 and might have kids someday. I got the same from two poodle rescue places and two bichon rescues. Another poodle rescue was very nice to me but they only had standard poodles. The selters here either had sheading dogs, or huge dogs, and the one time they had a yorkie and a poodle I got there that morning and I was told yeah someone else got it, they were on a waiting list...well why wasn't I told this when I asked. Another shelter would not let me take a walk to see what they had, the lady told me she didn't have time. So with all those issues what other recourse did I have? I see it as I did save a dog, she could have been bought buy a collector, an abuser, or someone who let her out all the time. None of those rescues even let me have a chance to explain why I wanted to adopt of how well I take care of Lil Bear. I was willing to travel the east coast and the gulf to give a poor pup a home. And some of the rescues wanted more than what I paided for moose.
I hope to adopt a pup one day, but I hope not to encounter the downright rudeness I had to deal with for a year.
