The story about her stomach sounds weird to me. Never heard of such a thing. If you have deep pockets and can live with a horrible outcome, go for it. If not, then RUN away.
Puppyfind.com is not a place to look for a pup IMHO. I would suggest looking at the Yorkshire Terrier breed page .. they have a list of breeders. You can then look at the breeders first....then look for a puppy. The Yorkshire Terrier Club of America |
My first thought, when I read that the breeder said the pup had a “flipped” stomach was Intussusception. That’s extremely serious and often lethal. I had a foster once with an Intussusception, and the vet couldn’t save her.
My only other thought was some form of bloat, but I’ve never heard of that happening in such a young pup. Again, if it is the problem, I would guess it’s extremely serious.
