Maybe she's not reputable in your opinion (or anyone else here), but my gut instinct told me to go with this breeder, after I'd contacted a number of them. It feels right, I liked her, and my instinct is usually right. I've already said that I am impressed with her other dogs. I also already said that I am well aware of yorkie issues and their health. When I visited, she told me the puppy could not go before 9 weeks but that she'd see. She may tell me I can't have him yet.
My issue now (I didn't have one before), is that I came here excited about my new baby and pretty much out of the blue, you've told me my breeder is not reputable and that I'm not going to listen to anyone. Thanks for making me feel so welcome.  |
It's probably from where you said that there was a 5 1/2 week old playing with a 16 week old. But please don't take it personally. We've all been put under a microscope at one point or another on Yorkietalk (I know I have), and sometimes admonitions are made for the benefit of people who have never purchased a Yorkie before, and the poster doesn't want newbies to make mistakes that might compromise the health of the puppy. If you say that your breeder is professional and reputable, I see no reason to question that, and the fact the breeder wants to hold on to the puppy until AT LEAST 9 weeks (and maybe longer) is a good thing. Keep in mind that 12 weeks is optimal, and if the breeder will keep the puppy until then, that would be best, but don't let anyone cool your excitement over your new puppy. Welcome to Yorkietalk!
