We searched for a suitable female and found a few to choose from. When we called the customer line to select our female, the gentleman said that he knew this particular breeder and would call her to get the specs on the pup. After speaking to her, he said that she recomended another pup instead of the one we selected. We looked over her selection and since we want to breed her at least 1 time, we took her recomendation.
Her description says that her dad's weight - 3-3 1/2 lbs
mom's weight- 5-6 lbs
We were also told that as of the timeof our call, this pup weighes 1lb 13oz and her weight will be around 3-4 lbs. This info was given to us on 7/26/2009, the day that we purchased her for $1534.00. She arrived to us on 7/30/2009 at 12:45pm via air. We got our male 7/28/2009. As our puppies began to grow we started seeing a difference between the two. Her snout is much longer than his and she is a much bigger dog, not the 3-4 lbs that we had been told.
While on a cruise this month we met a professional breed judge. When showing her the pictures of our puppies, she told me that she was bigger because she is a Silky. This explained o me the reason the two looked different from each other.
Now comes the kicker...For those of you who want to defend this so called "Breeder"....
We receive a letter from AKC stating.."A parentage verification analysis of AKC DNA Certifications was conducted on a dog in your dog's pedigree/lineage. The DNA results indicate that this dog could not be the offspring of the parents to which it is registered. Because your dog is a direct descendent of a dog in the litter with incorrect parentage, the registration of your dog and its offspring have been put on referal. This means that AKC services will not be provided if the dog's in this litter are bred,sold,or transfered, and awards will not be recorded if these dogs participate in any AKC sanctioned or licensed events."
I have turned this matter over to the brokerage company that I purchased the dog through. As soon as I hear back, I will post again. |
ok...this is where talking to other yorkie people and breeders and educators come in...believe me i know ;) they try educating me on here ALL THE TIME..but im really hardheaded as some would say
1.) you want to breed? you want to SEE what you are getting first hand..meet the people the breeders the dogs, the enviroment in which they live
Thens there a lot of inbetween work..knowing the breed you are interested in..research, educations, blah blah all that stuff
2. Ya cant trust buying online...you really need to know who you are talking to...
3. educating yourself on the breeding prospects is very important...you were expecting a dog to be no more than 3-4lbs...few problems off the bat..NO ONE can guarantee what the size the pup will be so many genetics play a part in that area...2. if you knew what you were doing you would know NOT to "order a pup that is estimated to be no more than 4lbs to breed" and of course you wouldnt have probably gotten involved with these scammers 3. have you ever seen and handled a 3-4lbs adult dog? omg!!! they are so tiny and expecting them to have babies? really unrealistic without horrible consequences ..people try to market up this tiny dog and breeding tinys to get tinys but the real words are breeding runts to runts..and their little bodies are way to small to carry puppies and the bones are too little to deliver them then if you go in for c sections you have to worry about all the possible reactions to the meds, anesthesia, and the recovery being to much on the little bodies...
and lastly please kick this lady's butt for all trouble she is causing you and other people...do everything legally possible to her for her fraud
good luck...remember research research chat and research..i love google!! |
