So, no matter how large or small a purebred Yorkie is, it should be still designated as a "TOY".. Other terms such as mini, t-cup, standard when related to size, are marketing phrases. So, the standard of to 7 lbs as adult and classified as TOY are really the only proper phrases. I know you will love your baby no matter the size but when a buyer is given false info, it makes for some misdealings.. |
I completely understand what your saying. and unfortunately i did get my lil one from a not so trust worthy person.... i got him from a kennel, but the guy swore up and down that all his dogs are home bred. he told me to go to the vet 10 -14 days after i got my baby to get the rest of his shots. i waited 3 days and i decided to just go to the vet anyway just for a check up. my baby had a nasty cough and the vet diagnosised him with kennel cough. when i called the "breeder" it went to vmail and he hasnt returned my phone calls since then. the vet gave me some meds for him but his cough is still there so now the vet is wondering if its possible a collapsed trachea. we havent officially diagnosised it as of yet we are waiting to see how he reacts to the meds.
i know, everyone must be wondering WTF,going through all of this at such and early stage but i guess these are the horrors from buying from a bad "breeder" but i look at it as a blessing for my baby b/c now hes getting treatment he needs, which i know he wouldnt have gotten from his original place.
if anyone can give me more info on raising a yorkie with a collapsed trachea?
