Hi Dawn
I think you have replied to the wong post! I have never mentioned the word TOY, and NO I did not have trouble finding homes for young male puppies a while ago!
I too will apologise in advance if anything I say offends but here goes........
The triplets are our very first litter, and have just been checked out by the vet and declared magnificently healthy little souls.
I'm sure you feel passionately about your cause, and mean well, but please understand that when people ask for advice, thats all they are asking for! NOT a lecture on another's personal opinions.
Our Yorkies are pets, pure and simple, I have no desire to show them, I hate all that preening and coats sweeping the floor. Our dogs are adorable, loving, well loved happy little souls, as are their offspring, and I am not in the least bit worried if they aren't up to show standards, as long as they are healthy and happy thats all I care about. If they have any health problems we are perfectly able to afford vets bills, although having said that, we have also taken the precaution of taking out insurance against anything major.
We are mature responsible dog owners and certainly do not need to breed for the money, two of the triplets have being gifted to friends, and we are keeping the third. We have decided to breed again because we found it a wonderful experience, our parent dogs have been marvellous, Lily in particular was a joy to watch with her pups.
Yorkies seem in short supply here in Cornwall. As I mentioned in my post we had to travel to Devon on the 2 separate occasions we bought ours, and whenever we take them out, are constantly being stopped by people asking for the name of the breeder. We would never give or sell any of our puppies to anyone we didn't feel sure about, and will be in contact for at least the first year to help with any problems.
Thanks to others who replied to my post, who actually gave me the information I was asking for!
Happy New Year!
