Do Yorkies sometimes look like Chuahuas? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

rebeccag · 04-14-2009, 11:43 AM

You know, I was just going over the breeding thing in my head and I'm not going to do it. I wanted to be a responsible breeder but it's so hard to find someone responsible to get a Yorkie from to breed with....it's unfortuneate that the only place you can find a Yorkie is from a Puppy mill type breeder!!!!!!

And yes, I'll still keep her.....but I'm angry because I would have rather rescued one if I was going fix and get poor quality anyway....not to say rescues are poor quality...my pekenese is 12 years old, has an overbite but is the best!!!! It's just I was upfront with my intentions and the breeder gave me something you shouldn't breed.....she knew better!!

And thanks, I'll reqest the kit from AKC.

I am glad your not going to breed her. I agree for the price you paid and for letting her know your intention was to breed you should have gotten a better quality yorkie. Unfortunately you almost need to buy from a show breeder if you want a breed quality yorkie

AKC kits are only for AKC registered dogs. I'm checking with vets and going to find a reasonable priced DNA checker and if she's a mix, which the more I look at her the more I am convinced, the breeder is going to wish she never sold me a dog...I just can't believe the things people do! It just always amazes me!!! Someone should monitor breeders better or something?????? I don't know, it's just been an ordeal finding a Yorkie with breeding rights and now I see why!!!! I'm not a scum bag and wouldn't do what some of these people do with animals! Unreal!!!!!!!!! I'll put my OCD to full use on this one and shut every puppy mill down...LOL!

Good for you! I'm glad that you came to such a responsible decision. I too would be ticked off if I paid so much money for a dog that I intended to breed, and afterwards found out that I shouldn't breed her at all. Are you going to discuss this with the breeder? Or just let it be....

rebeccag · 04-14-2009, 12:14 PM

If the breeder hadn't shown me the "parents" I would have walked away but I was thinking that she was in an ugly duckling and would soon be as pretty as mom and dad...but there is no way that was mom and maybe not even Dad!!!!!!!!!

I think your vet can DNA test your puppy.

rebeccag · 04-14-2009, 12:15 PM

After I get the DNA test back the breeder will hear from me!!!!!!!! I'm just going to get all my ducks in line before I do.....I'm so mad!!!!!!!!!!!

rebeccag · 04-14-2009, 12:16 PM

Yes, the vet can....I'm waiting to hear back from them when they get the price from the lab....

luvfla · 04-14-2009, 12:19 PM

Oh my Gawd!!! She is adorable! If you don't want her, Aunt-E will take her & kiss her lips off!

LOVE her sweater!

bchgirl · 04-14-2009, 12:19 PM

Dog DNA Test | Mixed Breed Analysis | Canine Breed Testing

Oh and it costs around 100 bucks.

rebeccag · 04-14-2009, 12:22 PM

rebeccag · 04-14-2009, 12:28 PM

No...it means they have a marker database of 157 akc recognized breeds.

rebeccag · 04-14-2009, 12:50 PM

You know what, I'm going to do the one at the vets office. It's $140.00 but I'll know for sure and have proof in hand if I have to go to court....
