her female had to get fixed so she wont have anymore litter... i forgot to say that the baby wasnt getting out so she brought her dog to the vet and she got euhmmm i dont know what its called in english...but they had to cut her to get the baby....so they had to fix her for safety...but that was the reason why she didnt get the female fixed before...i was just afraid you might say that the baby might get more health problems if i told you that he couldnt be born by himself because he wasnt straight in the mother....he had the butt coming out first

Go to the YT baby nursery listed in the 'forum' area & check out the pictures of the little pup's to see if yours looks like the ones in the pictures there.

It is to bad that, in your area, you don't have a great selection of places to find that certain dog. And like you said, your parents are buying the dog. So, now you have some information to share with your parents.

I got lucy from a regular household, and only saw the mother dog. I feel very fortunate to have found her. I will say that the people I got her from kept her until she was 4 months old. She has turned out to be the best Yorkie I could have ever imagined having. She is now 4 1/2 years old.

I hope all the best to your parents with their new dog.

you got her when she was four months and shes ok? but people have been telling me that 6 months was too young?

[lucyaboo]

They are telling you that 6 weeks(1 1/2 month) is to young, you should wait until 10 to 12 weeks(or about 4 months)

Are the mother and father registered? If they are then there should be no reason why this pup wouldn't be. Also why would you buy a puppy and take it to a vet to find out if it's pure bred or not, find it's not and ask for money back after the fact? You'll probably find out your s.o.l when it comes to a refund. Much luck to you and I have to agree with others here that you really should wait until the puppy is older. I got mine at 9 weeks and she was sickely at first. It's very scarey to care for such a small pup that gets sick. Being as tiny as they are makes them suseptible to many things going wrong.

woah i meant and understood weeks...lol..oops....ill try to tell my mom to tell the lady to keep him till the minimum 8 weeks...i wont push it too far cuz my mom wont like it...and the baby looks exactly like the pics on the nursery forum exept for the white tips on his back paws and he has a little more black.... but aside from the colour....hes like the twin of all those babies

Since you already put down a $400.00 deposit , which I am assuming is non refundable ...Even if he isn't a pure Yorkie there isn't really anything you can do about it unless you are willing to lose your money and look for another dog. If it is refundable ...get your money back ,find a breeder here that has puppies that can be shipped ( when the weather is warmer) and offers a health guarantee. Just because there isn't a breeder in your town doesn't mean you can't find one. But like I said if you already paid a non refundable deposit , there isn't much else to do.

So just learn as much as you can about taking care of him , see if you can get a written health guarantee ( which I doubt) and see if she can keep him with the mom for a while longer so he can get as strong as possible before being separated.

may I ask how old you are?

[vickii-116]

17 ...why?

[roxies_mom]

Just wondering...I could tell you were young and was happy that you are taking steps to know all you can and inform your mom.

[vickii-116]

yeah...i know by reading some of the advice that i should try to find another dog and such...and that he might have medical bills ...but i decided to accept and get the dog even if he has medical bills...health problems ae not the dog's fault...and we will be able to pay for all of it if he needs some...when i tought about it...all people have been telling me thats actually a really bad thing is the medical bills...but if we dont get him she might sell him to someone that cant afford it without knowing...and even if the father was a different colour he looked like a yorkie ..and they were both beautifull...the father was smaller than the mother but other than that and the colour they looked exactly the same....so the puppy has to be beautifull also

[roxies_mom]

It's very important with the yorkie breed to read all you can and really understand the rewards of having the breed, but at the same time realizing there are also alot of challenges to deal with. Owning a dog to me is like a missing puzzle piece...it either fits into the family perfectly or it doesn't fit at all (which can be so very sad). That's why it's good to know the breeds temperments etc. As long as a person is willing to love these little ones unconditionally it should be a perfect match. Best wishes to you and your family with the new addition. This is the best place to come to for lots of info.

oh he'll get LOADS of affection...since were 6 in the family..affection and love and time isnt the problem

[vickii-116]

and he's always going to have someone home with him...even when were at school...my mom works as my dad's secretary for his business sooo she stays at home during the day and does the work at home
