I'm really starting to not like people I met a couple tonight that had a pair of Yorkies. A 3lb male and a 3.5lb female. While they were both adorable, I could tell when I was playing with them that they weren't very well taken care of. You could see every bone in their body and their ribs were so prominent that I almost didn't want to touch them in fear that I'd hurt them. Their hair was silky, but so very thin and dull from lack of nutrition. I asked the owner what kind of food they were on and they replied with "I don't know. Some stuff we get at Walmart." I just shook my head and boasted that I always had really good luck with Solid Gold and they should consider trying them on that. Then halfway through the conversation I learned they were selling these babies as a breeding pair and asking $2000 for them. :eek: I just wanted to come home and cry. SO not right.... just.... not right. They're waiting for the female to come into heat. If she does before they can find a buyer, they'll keep her. :( |
these are the kind of people I just want to shakeeeeeeeeeee till they get some common sense. but that will never happen. the female will be luck if she can even carry a litter. It sure would be great if you could get them.... urggggggggg. sharon, PIXI & SPIKE 17 wk old siblings.. |
Wow.. |
:mad: makes me so angry. |
Wow, that is very sad. I often wonder what goes through the minds of people when they mistreat animals are only use them for financial gain. |
I just want to scream when I hear things like this. What are people thinking???????? When I go out and see this, I really have a hard time keeping my coments to myself. I try to educate a little (not that I am an expert) but as we all know it does not always help! |
the more people i meet the more i like my dogs |

And with such tiny dogs as Yorkies are, there is no good reason NOT to buy the best food money can get, a small bag lasts so long. I have had big dogs and trying to keep buying the best food for them is much harder to afford. |
:(That SO sad and awful. I guess you can't do anything about stupidity :( |
Those poor babies. It's really too bad no one can do more to save them from a fate like that. Just shaking my head. |
Welcome to the New Age of Enlightenment! People do not want to educate themselves about the world we live in, they just want to make money off of it! I don't like many people. In fact, I don't like most. Sorry you got a first hand view of evil.:( |

How sad... those poor little babies. |
That\'s atrocious!!!!!!!!! About the food, the funny thing is, it doesn\'t cost any more to feed them the very best, or only a couple of dollars more. They don\'t need to consume as much of the good food, as it\'s more nutritiously dense, not loaded with fillers. Most people think that it\'s okay to feed some cheap crap, and that they\'re saving money. Oh, like it\'s worth saving $5 a month only to incur vet bills many times that down the road:rolleyes: I pray for those pups:hands: :( |
Thats very sad but I have to say that my dog was pretty skinny herself. She ate alot even when she was 3.5 and had gained a lb and was up to 4.8 lbs she felt the same, some yorkies are built differently and may be "boney" if you so call it. Also I\'m not trying to defend but as someone who didn\'t know any better even 8 months ago I have to say that some people don\'t find these kinds of websites and just don\'t know better that there is better quality food out there. I had puppy chow before for my dog and I didn\'t know it was bad. I mean I knew it wasnt the best food but then again I thought Science diet was one of the best foods you could get. So you never really know what people are thinking, just because you can afford an expensive dog doesn\'t mean you know how to take care of them great. I know some breeders who claim Royal Canin is a great food for yorkies, everyone has a different opinion so because they feed cheap food doesn\'t mean we have to bash them, they simply may not know any better :cool: |
