Me lol, my 4th yorkie I bought because she was HUGE at 8 weeks old, again, I bought her because I KNEW no one would buy a yorkie that BIG, so I bought her, as an adult she weighed in at 17 pounds and lived to be 17 years old. She was a perfect fit for my 9 pound ONCE the bossy baby of my pack. Knowing today what I have learned on YT, I would still buy the puppy I feel no one would want, that is just who I am, I am so afraid a puppy not wanted would not end up with a loving family. I have been blessed with the puppies I had, all now passed. I would NEVER advise anyone to buy a puppy the way I have, I took a chance and came out a winner, each of them had loving personalities and were the sweetest girls, also it was the way I raised them, to be very social with all ppl and all types of animals. |
I don't think you were talking to me, but I did want to add that I also chose Chewie because she was NOT as high energy. I knew that I didn't want one with a go go go personality. However, thanks to this site, while I'm not for once second mad or upset about the choice I made, (which was on instinct and the look she gave me) and knowing her personality, would do it again. However, I now know exactly how and where and when to select, and what to look for. so I'm just bolstering your words.
