I can understand a breeder rehoming to a point - but see so many older females now for sale ....which seems really sad .....Even if I were a breeder - there is no way I could give up a pet after loving it for years.
Good thing I'm not a breeder cause I'd be making a name for myself as "the crazy dog woman on the SW Side of Houston"  |
When we made our committment to Toto ... that meant, she is only a little over 16 weeks and a lot can change, size, color, temperament, etc., and come what may, she is ours and we will love her come what may!!
We have lived up to our end of the committment and she is our heart! We cannot imagine our lives without her! Granted, she does have days when I could beat her senseless ...... yeah, sure!!!
I'm like you, V, if I were a breeder, I would hang onto every single one of them and be known as that "weird old lady with all the Yorkies!!!" As it is, I am only known as that "weird old lady with the Yorkie"!!! Ask me if I care?!?
