:thumbup:That sounds great! I have just heard horror stories about other vets keeping puppies overnight but having no one there to watch the puppies for 8 hours at night. But of course even when you have them at home you have to sleep some time and you can't be awake with them 24 hours a day. I know some vets will even take the little ones home with them. I think it is wonderful you have a vet you can trust. We have some very lousy vets around here but I won't get started on that.

This is all sooooo SAD....
My first concern is I hope the baby girl will make it through this.
We have a gal in our area that has the same conditions in her house. Dog poo and pee everywhere. You just cant get over the smell. When I and my friend was there I also asked her many questions. She didnt like to be questioned. She had so many litter she could not even keep them straight when they were born, who the daddy was. And I think she says she has something like 20-25 yorkies.
The moms where kept in the cages all day and only let out to go potty. I asked if they were eating food yet. Said she dont start feeding them till they are 6-7 weeks and she sells them at 7-8 weeks. Poor mamma and babies. The poor pups look so malnourished so skinny and frail.
Like others have said they would buy the puppy just to save him/her.
But that just keeps their puppy mill going.
Just love your babies and enjoy them. Hugs to all

I'm so so heart broken, but I wanted to tell you all that lil Daphne passed away.

Carrie called me this afternoon to break the news to me. She said the vet stayed the night with her sat night and he knew she was not doing well. He wanted to call her Sun morn to talk to her about putting her down, but sun came and she passed away around 9am.

He said she was just way to tiny and just could not fight. She was only 8 weeks old and 1 pound.

I feel bad cause I knew better to let her buy her, I knew better, I knew that she was to young to be leaving her mommy, I knew that no yorkie puppy should be weened at 4 weeks old, I knew that she was breeding so many dogs and this puppy was living in a cage and not being properly cared for. I should have walked right back outside when I seen the place. I'm so mad at myself for letting her buy her.

Carrie says that everything happens for a reason and at least now she is not suffering in the hands of someone who does not love her.

She also told me that this lady had the audacity to go to the vet's yesterday and demand the pup, she told them that they were not doing enough for her and she could take better care of her! OMG the nerve of this wench!

RIP baby Daphne, you are in the arms of heaven and you are so loved now.

OMG...........I am so sorry for the loss of that sweet precious life and for the pain that you and your friend are feeling.

RIP sweet baby girl :littleang

Soo sorry she lost her little girl. Sorry she had to go through what she did. Let her know she is in my prayers!!!!!

I am so sad to hear about the loss of the little girl. Please give my condolences to your friend. I pray the sorry breeder will do the right thing and at least give her her money back.

OMG! OMG! OMG! How so so sad :( That poor baby. That just breaks my heart.

What is the so called "breeder" saying about this? Tell your friend she is in my thoughts :(

oh my gosh ... this story was so sad :( i cannot imagine how heartbroken your friend is :( :(

and i cannot believe the NERVE of that "breeder" saying she could care for daphne better than the VET :mad:

may precious daphne RIP .. thank goodness she is now healthy and happy like she should be playing at the rainbow bridge :love:

I am so sorry your friend had to suffer all because she wanted to save this
little one. I am terribly sorry for her loss. Your friend gave her the only hug
and kiss she ever received in her short life.
I hope something can be done about that terrible, dishonest, sick
individual that calls herself a breeder.

That's such a sad story and I'm so sorry about the entire ordeal!! I hope your friend has better luck next time and listens to YOU. RIP sweet Daphne. :(

I hear ya people are just so eagar to jump the gun, i had a similar experiance. I told my friend i would help them find a yorkie. they wated a very tiny one although i had stated many times about health. They even said Peeka was BIG:eek::eek: At 4 lbs:eek: so they went out and went to a pet store not any pet store the one i turned in for cruelty they brought her over and at 8 weeks she was almost 3 lbs the store told them she would only be 3 lbs full grown:eek: I felt bad and told them they should take her back but they were upset with me. Later after looking at the perdigree (which is apri) we found the dog came from a mill. the dog is now healthy but she is about 9 lbs and has a wire coat that doesn't grow well. I am glad they love her but it's not what they wanted:(

Please tell your friend I'm very sorry to hear the little pup didn't make it.
I hope the breeder does the right thing, but I wouldn't bank on it.
Most of these types of low life breeders will say the buyer did something wrong, that caused the pup to be sick or die.
Maybe when her heart mends, and she's ready for another one.
She'll take your advice/help in finding a nice healthy baby.

Thanks so much all of you for the heart-felt condolences, I will sure pass them on.

Yes, the breeder did write her a check for $350, but as we all know, that does not take care of all the vet expenses or it does not bring li'l Daphne back.

I have nothing good to say about this beast, if she would have done her job right as the breeder, li'l Daphne would still be here. Someone who takes a li'l tiny puppy away from her mommy at 4 weeks old is nothing but a mean and hateful person. She is only out for one thing and one thing only! $$$$$ And I think that is so sad.

You don't know how bad I want to call her and tell her what i think of her.
Something is and will be done about her, this story is not over yet. For Daphne, justice will be done! Maybe others will let it go but not me, I will do what I have to do to make sure no one else suffers.

omg!! I am in tears:( RIP baby Daphne.. Tell your friend she is in my thoughts
