Oh no, I wonder if they were thinking about using her for breeding? Poor little thing. I know what you mean, I just don't know how people can breed animals for profit, we have so many now, I wish they all had loving caring homes that could provide proper care for them. That's why I'm such an advocate for only supporting breeders who are breeding for the right reason, and thats to preserve and improve the breed. When we buy from a bad breeder, we are encouraging them to breed more.

I always suggest to my new puppy buyers to order the one generation pedigree, but I provide a 5 generation pedigree. Strongly suggest they register them with AKC. The registery is not only for those that show or breed. It gives you a voice in what is happening in the Canine World.

great post

You cared enough to get a purebred Yorkie, with parents from the pre-eminent registry in the States. You might just find yourself fascinated with the world of pure bred dogs. There is so much infor from AKC, you could get involved in Agility or Obedience or Dock Diving or so many fun activities you could do with your Yorkie. Yorkies are an amazing breed. Fun, feisty, stubborn, they are a Big Dog in a little package. They are so willing to work and play, and get into mischief.
