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.  |
You said your pup was playing with the pups from another litter so that would mean there were multiples. I'm sorry you feel that way I have learned a lot in the 10 years of owning my first yorkie and I can tell you many things make a huge difference. Most people do not want to listen like you said your breeder is reputable to you so that generally means that whatever I try to tell you, you are still going to feel that way. I have a 10 year old yorkie from a bad breeder and I have had to watch her suffer through many many things because of bad breeding and it is extremely hard. I try to save people that as best as possible by informing them of reputable and non reputable breeders. I have seen many many people get their yorkies at 9 weeks and the pups stop eating and then that causes big issues. Reputable breeders follow the guidelines of the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America. The best thing for your puppy is to stay until 12 weeks for so many reasons. If the breeder wont keep the puppy that long I tried to give you some things you need to be prepared for and make sure you are educated on encase they happen. I thought that was helpful but I guess not. The USA puts million of dogs down each year because of over breeding that is also why its important to support reputable breeders and not breeders who are just doing it to do it whether for money or any other reason. With small breed dogs they learn a lot from their mom all the way up until 12 weeks. Most puppies taken from mom to early have biting issues, they can be a bit harder to potty train, can miss out on certain things that their mom teaches them about socialization and separation anxiety can be a big issues. I'm not trying to be mean or unwelcoming I'm just trying to help on what is best for your puppy and I have been down that road and I do know what I am talking about. I rescued a 9 week old puppy from a family who did not want him. Luckily he was going to be bigger then standard and was 3 pounds when I got him so not super tiny. I could not get him to eat anything, he knew nothing about biting and bit pretty hard. He had terrible separation anxiety he didn't want to be alone so bad he would get in the shower with you. You might see this as mean but its not I'm just trying to give you information. I am trying to help.
