I purchased my first yorkie from YORKIEBABIEDOLLS.COM from Don Montgomery. The picture on the site was of a healthy, very cute, tiny male. I asked him for references which he did provided from other owners from the same litter. I thought everything was ok. What I received at the air port was a 3 pound starved pup, ridden with coccidia, a second row of teeth, and in very poor health. But it gets worse; 2 months later he starts limping on his back leg. He was diagnosed with leg-calf Perthes disease and required a major surgery. This disease is inherited from this parents or someone in his parents line, I told Don about this yet he still breeds both the parents EVERY SINGLE HEAT!!!
He also has many many other females whom he breeds every heat they go into, and he thinks these kind of breeding practices are ok.
Make sure you tell the breeder you got yopur yorkie from so they can stop breeding the parents, they are carring the disease.
My dog is fine now!!!
