I am so sorry to hear about your lost love.
As a long time breeder, let me say this...any Yorkie under about 3 1/2 pounds is a great responsiblity. For a first time owner, I would say nothing under 4 pounds. I have my own limit and 3 pounds is it. I have cared for several extra tiny adults and did not enjoy owning them. They were healthy, but absolutely could not have a bad bout of loose stools or vomiting...it meant a vet visit..and always at the holidays.!!
They are a constant worry to me...
I never felt like I could let my guard down...it only takes one bad day and you have a very sick dog in need of $$$$$ vet care...I do not like to bring $$$ into the conversation. I know we will do anything to keep our pets healthy, even run up a huge vet bill...but I am not wealthy and vet care is over the top today. I will not sell a tiny to a first time Yorkie owner or someone who must count their pennies.
RIniW and I think alike...we would rather give the tinies away and you save the cost for good vet care. Many of their problems come from simple things that barely phase a 4 plus pounder.
Best wishes to you... |
