Just because there are champion titles in the puppies bloodline does not necessarily mean a whole lot. I'm going to use an example.
Lets say that I buy a puppy with champion blood lines and decide to breed. I dont necessarily know what I'm doing and may make some mistakes...like taking the puppy away from its mother too soon. Even if the puppy could have been an excellent dog, I would have done it a great disservice by taking the puppies away too soon. But, I could possibly charge people more because of the CH titles in the bloodline, and some people would jump. Does CH bloodlines mean that the puppies will have a better chance at picking up what was lost in the early days, when mommy/baby socialization would have occured? No. Does CH bloodlines mean that a puppy will one day be able to achieve CH? No.
The most important thins you can look for in a puppy are good health and a good introduction to the world. These breeders may have good intentions, but I think that by removing the puppy from its mother at such a young age...I just think that should be a dealbreaker.
Another example, I dont know if you have skin kids or not, but there is so much more to raising a healthy child than breastfeeding. What my daughter learns from me in her early years is a major factor into what kind of person she will be as an adult. I think that this directly relates to puppies.
Finding a great yorkie is a full time job in itself. You will NOT find red flags everywhere....do yourself a favour and keep looking. |
