Unless you told her or guaranteed her that the puppy would stay small, then there is no reason, legally, that you should refund the money. I do see both sides of the issue, though. I definately think that all three dogs -- mother, father, grandsire -- are 100% yorkie, even though they don't all meet the standard. 
Good luck getting the issue resolved!  |
To answer your question, I was told over email "THERE ARE THREE THE ONE WITH THE WHITE SPOT ON HIS BACK IS ALREADY TAKEN. THE TWO FOR SALE WEIGHED 2 OZ AT BIRTH. THEY WILL PROBABLY GET NO BIGGER THAN 4 LBS. THEIR MAMA IS 5 LBS. THEIR DADDY IS 4 LBS. BOTH ADORABLE GREAT FIGURES AND COLOR. I WILL ALSO ATTACH A PIC OF THE MOMMY.. OK "
I also never saw a picture of the grandfather until today when this all started being discussed, or I would have been weary, and probably would have backed out.
So yes i was expecting a much smaller dog. It is my opinion that a breeding standard exist for a reason, same as papers etc which is to identify a breed. Dogs who are not within that standard to me are not really in that breed. When reading the standards online, i dont feel that Ralphie has really met any of those, except coloring. I just dont think there is any point in getting a yorkie that doesnt look like a yorkie. I will not be breeding him anymore, after hearing what everone says and knowing that his puppies could turn out like him which is not what a yorkie buyer is seeking. and yes i also agree with everyone that he is SO CUTE. ha i just love him, but i am truly disappointed in how big he is getting.
I will say that I did a great deal of reading before I got Ralphie and i was terrified of getting an unhealthy yorkie. I know that is a reoccuring problem and ralphie has been the picture of health since day one, and for that I am grateful.
