I have a beautiful 5 month Yorkie female,whom I planned to get for a year,looked carefully for a good breeder,travelled for 5 hours to get,have taken to puppy preschool,socialised with people and dogs and love to death! she is great,and not the problem. Just after I got her and was worried about her not eating much and not growing much,I saw a Yorkie in my local pet shop.He was only 2 days older,but three times her size. I remember thinking"He must eat alright", but hoped he would find a new home quickly and be as loved as my Holly. Well over two months have gone by and Holly and I have done all the things mentioned above.She is eating better and has grown,but is still a little 3lb dot. I was at that pet shop again yesterday and what do I see but that Yorkie! He has disappeared from there and the pet shop lady said he had just come up from Christchurch. I am haunted by the thought of this poor pup being around all the pet shops in NZ and missing out on all I had done with Holly.I don't know for sure it's the same one,but the birthdate is the same. I have been thinking about getting Holly a sibling next Christmas--because that is when I get my long summer break and can be home for 6 weeks like I was with Holly. Should i go rescue this pup,even though I don't know what he has been through and can't take time off to socialise them together? I feel so sorry for him!!
