I would highly recommend staying away from pet stores or 3rd party sellers from now on, as well as those who advertise "designer hybrid breeds" such as the morkie, or the yorkipoo, etc.,
I would also highly suggest looking into pet insurance...it could save you a lot of money in the future if your pup ends up having health issues. Make sure to read the Terms and Conditions and small print closely, and also make sure if that they cover genetic conditions.
