I am rather appalled at the rude/harsh responses to this individual who joined yorkie talk in order to ask some questions about getting a new puppy. Nobody, with an exception of myself (in a private message) have bothered to answer any of the questions that were asked, all of the responses have been quite negative and judgemental. I personally have owned FIVE yorkies during my lifetime. One came to live with me at 6 weeks old, two at seven weeks, one at 9 weeks, and one at 12 weeks. NONE of them were purchased from backyard breeders, but came from homes where they were raised inside with human interaction and well taken care of. Out of all five, the ONLY one that ended up being sick was the one that I purchased at 12 weeks. At around 5 months old, she started having severe, constant seizures, and stayed very sick. The rest of my yorkies all lived to have very long, happy, healthy lives. So, regardless of the age that they come to live with you, you can always end up with a sick puppy, I am living proof of that. My current yorkie came to live with me at 7 weeks of age, and now at 4 1/2 months old, she is a very healthy little ball of energy. While I do understand some of the concerns expressed here, I think there are nicer and more helpful ways to say things. I thought YT was a place where people who love Yorkies can come to share stories and get advice, not be personally attacked. Go back and read the responses, most all of them were not very kind or welcoming to this person.
