My first yorkie...Remmy I got from a backyard breeder. Very nice lady and I love Remmy to death...he is the best dog I ever had. I think that I am lucky that he has not gotten ill or there is nothing wrong with him. I was uneducated but when I got him I set out to learn as much as I can...I have learned so much. I did not know exactly what a breeder was and the chances you take when you don't buy from someone who truely cares about thier dogs. Or where petstore animals really come from. When I got silk I got recommendations from people and organizations and then when I went to get on a "waiting list" I told the breeder everything I could think of about me and my family. I was on her waiting list for 2years before I got Silk and I did not get her as a puppy. If I wanted a puppy I would still be on the waiting list. But some things are worth waiting for. Chris |
