 We looked at yorkies today!
As alot of you know I lost my yorkie, Toby, this week during exploratory surgery. I can't believe it but my husband took me to check out a few puppies today. He was the one telling me to wait awhile but I just can't. I have such a void in my heart right now.
Anyway, I received a few suggestions and went and checked them out today. I looked at 3 puppies but none jumped out at me. They were very cute though. Tomorrow I am going to look at one that is 9wks. old and is a chocolate. I had never heard of this color yorkie.
Toby was over 11lbs. and this time I would like one a little smaller. This males parents are (mom) 5lbs 2ozs. (dad) 3lbs. 5ozs. I know there are no guarantees but should this one stay on the smaller side? This is the only pup from this litter. I guess he is a little overweight since he was the only one nursing from the mother. Shouldn't that come off after he becomes more active?
I will not be using him to stud so the color will not be an issue that way.
Also, should I feel guilty about getting a chocolate? I have read a little on here about how some feel its not right to breed this color but I have also read how some others would love to have one.
These are a husband and wife who tried breeding their yorkie for the first time. He has been raised in their home with children. He is AKC. (Which I can honestly say I never sent Toby's papers in since I never planned on breeding him.) They know his color is different and are only asking $500 for him.
Please give me some input. I am supposed to go see him tomorrow morning.
Thank you! |
