hi everyone, i am pretty new here and had posted that i was in search of a yorkie. i just happened to go get a bulletin board and in the pets section was some yorkie pups listed for way cheap!!! so i called, got directions and went to check out the so called full blooded pups. when i finally got unlost lol and made it to their house. they had the pups caged up on the porch while about 15 other dogs ran around the yard. they let the pups out of the cage so i could look at them and low and behold they are full blooded. they have mom and sis from another litter. so i played with them for a while and looked at them closely. they don't feel like they are under weight as i can't feel ribs and they aren't dehydrated. but they were all sticky and stinky. there was one lil guy that's face and head didn't look right to me, but i am by no means an expert. i felt so bad for these pups. when they were running and playing the women were yelling for them and the pups didn't acknowledge they were being talked to so i was afraid the poor guys were deaf. but come to find out they just didn't want to listen to these people. of course i wouldn't listen either, the older guy beat a dog with a metal pole while we were there just cause it wanted some lovin. well i felt so bad for these poor dogs that i bought one. i would have bought all of them but i didn't have $1400 dollars at the moment. these dogs aren't registered, have no shot records, no health guarantee, and the one i took has an over bite or under bite not sure what it's referred to as. i am taking this little guy to the vet first thing tuesday morning. also he won't drink out of a bowl. i have to dip my finger in the water and he licks it off. i also stopped at the store and bought some karo syrup since pet stores were closed by the time i got him. i had read that i can use it if he won't eat so his blood sugar stays up. also these people say the pups are 10 weeks but gave no real answer on a birthday. i know i might have wasted my money on a dog tat has health issues and god forbid may not live long but i had to get him out of the environment he was in, just wish i could have brought all of them home! is there anything i can do for these poor animals legally? they are beat and yelled at and not well taken care of? thanks for any advice for me and my new little guy also. i haven't weighed him yet but am going to do that and take a few pics of him after his nap. we got home and he ate and played for a few minutes and is now napping on my lap. i just hope he is ok or that he can be helped if something is wrong as i love him so already!!!!!
