I would maybe report it to a humane society in the area. You should start a new thread and maybe someone could give you some good advice. |
i don't know if this means anything but at the bottom of their page, they have USDA United States Department of Agriculture We are licensed by the USDA! MDA Missouri Department of Agriculture We are licensed by the MDA! - USDA United States Department of Agriculture Animal Welfare Act Class A Breeder - State of Missouri Department of Agriculture Animal Care Facility License sorry i know this thread is about the new sticky, I wont post anymore about this |
First-time Yorkie Buyer :aimeeyork Hi everyone, I am going to be a first-time Yorkie buyer in the next year or so and for now am just doing extensive, extended research on the breed and breeders. I am going to be well aware of all of the scams out there. I understand all of the details of the dog so far and I think it is funny because some people in my life that I talk to about wanting one of these little dogs say very obvious things to me like, "You know they are barkers." I'm just thinking, yeah.....it IS a dog, and any dog will bark it's little head off if you don't train it otherwise. I plan to train and teach my puppy from the first day I have it in my possession. If they are supposed to live up to 12-14 years you better believe I am going to be an educated dog owner/consumer. I graduated with a Business/Marketing degree and I know all about consumer rights and such. I am not an ignorant person and I dare an irresponsible dog breeder/seller to try to pull one over on me. I will call negative attention towards it in a heartbeat. So, anyways, the point to this post is to reply to whole thread, I appreciate all of this information that is being provided. I am copy and posting it all to my own Word document titled Questions to ask a Breeder. I am going to add to it as I go.:aimeeyork |
I particularly agree with the idea of asking to see the parents. You can tell a lot from that...their temperament, how healthy/clean they look, the surroundings. Puddin' is from a litter of seven pups. The mother was in her basket with the babies and so mellow that after a bit of sniffing, allowed us to pet and hold the babies. The father came up and demanded that we play with him. Once he was being held, the mother wanted attention, too. She seemed to really like my husband, and stayed in his arms for a long time. Despite having 7 puppies to nurse, the mother still had a shiny, well-groomed coat. There were two other happy little dogs there, a neutered male Yorkie and a neutered Maltese. They also wanted in on the play. It was so obvious from the cleanliness of the house and the willingness of the mother to interact with us, that these are happy, well cared-for dogs. Obviously there are more things to check out, but if you can't see the pups with the mother in their normal environment, or if the mother seems unkempt or hand shy or worse, this tells its own very important tale. |
