I have made the remark myself about not selling to breeders, but i guess i meant i don't sell to puppy mills. I just want to make sure they aren't mistreated. To me Yorkies and other dogs are like little people and it breaks me and my husbands heart to see animals mistreated.We drove 300 miles to get my two new dogs Marty and Princess a few weeks ago. They were both in wire cages and in a closed building with no sunlight. His feet are messed up and she is very timid, but they are both comming around. I now have 5 yorkies and one Brittainy. All in the house. I can't save them all so i have to stop with these two. I do have inside kennels , but they all get their lap time and outdoor play. I have a full time job with them, but i love every minite of it. They are our babies. I have bred my first yorkie twice and now have Princess bred.I guess that makes me a breeder. I do worry about things going wrong just like they were my children. It would kill me and my husband both if something happenned. But i also have two grandbabies on the way and i worry about that too. I'm having my little two lb female spayed next week and i'm terrified about her not waking up from surgery, but i've read if you don't breed them they could get cancer , if not spayed. My vet says sometimes when the dogs are two lbs and under that sometimes the ansthesia is worse than the surgery, that they have been known not to wake up.
