The woman said that he is eating and drinking on his own because his mom is all dried up, Myself not knowing much about this thinks that is entirely too small to be seperated from his mom. The pup is akc, all shots and worming. She did not mention a health quarentee, but she was originally asking $800 but she said she would let him go for $650. I saw pics of the pup and he is adorable, but I do not have a real good feeling about this. Any suggestions? Thanks meeshue |
I wonder why the breeder is willing to let him go for $650 when she originally was asking $800. It's only under rare circumstances, size and development that I let one of my babies go before they are 12 weeks old. It's more than just being able to eat and drink on their own. They need that extra time for development of important doggie skills. I love watching the mother teach her babies to play-fight. Of course, I am going to have to depend on my other yorkies to teach our five little girls who at 8 days old lost their mommy. At least they got a good head start and are very healthy and active already. I'd give my right arm to have my Reggie back with us.
