Going home at 6 weeks.... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

WV~Yorkies · 12-11-2009, 01:32 PM

I just read an ad in my area for pups that where born 3 days before mine and they are letting them go before Christmas. This make me so mad. I feel like going getting them all. They could care less about these pups.. they are just out for some Christmas cash.

I just pray the new owners know something about yorkies. I emailed the lady selling them and tried to inform her nicely.. the email she sent me back was not as nice as I tried to be..

Doesn't it just make you sick, then you go and try to inform the people and they get pissy! All about the money, not the well being of the puppies.

at 6 weeks? That is awful and scary! If she sent you a rude email in return she is a hopeless case. To bad you can't place an add saying not to purchase from her. Or maybe you can

That is horrible!! Poor little puppies!!

It some states it is actually illegal to sell puppies under 8 weeks old, you may want to check into that if you haven't already.

You know- I got my first Yorkie when he was 6 weeks old and at the time I had NO IDEA that it was wrong.... but now I want to call the breeder and yell at her! haha. I remember taking my new 6 weeks old puppy to the vet and they could not believe that the breeder had let me take him.... I had to give him sugar water and carry around NutriCal with me everywhere because he was only .75 pounds..... he was so so so TINY!!!

I got my new Puppy Lucy from a wonderful breeder and she almost wouldn't let me take her at 12 weeks. I had to beg her

It is so often about the money, which is sad sad sad.

It is really common for people to let them go at 6 weeks around here. This is not the first I have seen. I bought one of my girls at 6 weeks and I pleaded with the lady to let me leave her unitl she was older and refused..told me I didn't take her that day she would be forced to let someone else buy her. I went ahead and took her because I was afraid she would sell her to somone that didn't know anything about yorkies. She even told me that her vet said it was better to break the bond with mom and her family early.

Luckily she did great and I had no health problems but I do have social problems with other dogs with her. I think it was from not learning how to interact with playmates.

I got a few call lately where my vet recommds me to people and when I tell them my pups won't be ready until they are 10-12 weeks they say. Oh..thats so old..

That is really interesting.... my little Hendrix (the one I got at 6 weeks) also has social problems. He has no idea how to play with or interact with other dogs.... he just is a brat to them! Since I brought Lucy home he has come around with other dogs a little bit and he absolutly ADORES Lucy..... but I wonder if that is why he has always been so bad with other dogs.

I just had my first litter of Biewers, and I can now talk from experience, anybody sending a puppy to his new home at 6 weeks are COMPLETELY CRAZY. Mine only really started playing and interacting with each other at 7 weeks old. I do not understand how anybody would want to miss seeing them running and playing. It is the most beautiful sight I have ever seen.

So sad that some 'breeders' (I use that term very loosely) put money before the well-being of the pups they have brought into the world
