New Yorkie Questions - 4 lb pup at 10 weeks? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

RachelandSadie · 02-18-2011, 04:31 PM

my advice is that you have been dealing with a greeder this whole time and if she offers you any puppy at all i would take it and run no matter what because at this point u are already out the money for it and might as well do a puppy a favor and get it out of her hands and into a loving home away from this awful woman. i mean you can't get ur money back so you might as well use it to basically rescue whatever puppy she will give you. good luck. so sorry you went through all of this and i hope you do get a really cute and sweet puppy that lives a long time with good health somehow!

I call him my wanna be bulldog.

.. anyways, he is proof that is very possible!

I hope it all works out for you and this pups is healthy..

I know it happens...but a 2 pd sire and 4 pd dam is too fishy for me.

I dont like the way this Breeder took a picture of the puppy next to a can of soda. She sounds like a real winner

What does her contract say? Or did she not have one.

Good Luck with your new baby. 3 of my 4 yorkies came from the same breeder, different litters. The parents are 7-8 lbs, the puppies turned out to be 16 lbs, 9 lbs and 6 lbs. You never know what can happen. Of course my breeder would have given me my money back or a healthy puppy. She would have been upset herself that one of her puppies died.

I wanted to thank everyone for all the help. I did go and get him and just got back. He looked so sad when we got him and the whole trip he just layed there staring kind of in space.. When we got home he got a few pieces of kibble and has gone mad.. He's running around the room chasing the cat and just so happy and excited. He needs a bath and a week on some really good dog food and of course love and attention and I think he'll be in better shape and happy with his new home. He just seems like the sweetest dog and I'm pretty happy I got him. I just weighed him and he's around 4.3 he wouldn't hold still so it could be a little less or a little more.. I'm extremely glad he's running around and being so playful and acting like a pup should...

I'm very happy that I got this little guy even through all this and he seems pretty healthy and we'll know for sure this coming week because he's going straight to the vet.

We also think the flash was to bright on her camera or something and it just messed with all the features on him.. I'll try taking pictures tomorrow when the suns out and no flash is needed. Thanks again to everyone and I can finally breath a sigh of relief. Sorry about all the stress also..

He's a cutie! And I'm told that the green reflection in his eyes means a silky coat. My Shadow has more of a cottony coat and her eyes reflect red.

Best of Luck!

My Silver isn't quite 6months yet and her eyes have been shining green in pictures for quite a while now.

He really is adorable. I'm glad you took him. He needed you. Best of luck and congratulations!

Rhett showed the green eye shine by 11 weeks. It's kind of hard to see in this picture. I wish I had a better one to show, but I lost most of his puppy pictures when my hard drive died.

So glad you have him & are happy with him. Congratulations!!!

brendarash · 02-18-2011, 07:50 PM

Congratulations on your new baby. He ( I Think you said he) What did you name him? I am so glad that you saved him from that lady. He will make you so happy. Post more pictures when you get a chance.

yorkieusa · 02-18-2011, 07:54 PM

He's cute! Have you named him yet?

deepsleepdreamn · 02-18-2011, 08:20 PM

We haven't figured out a name for him yet.. We had a few ideas but figured we'd need about a week to see his personality. Wrong. His personality is already shown in full force.. Pictures don't do him justice. He looks way bigger in pictures and the flash makes him look different. Not that he can sit still for a picture.. My husband already has him sitting, shaking with both paws and giving kisses. He's pretty smart for a pup. I'll add more pictures tomorrow of the little bugger and hopefully we get a name picked out for him. I am curious though because a few said that the green eye is silk dogs.. He needs a bath though he's not as shiny as I think he can be.. Any ideas on names? He's got the spunky attitude, afraid of nothing and wild... And he watches tv.... I already fell in love with him and he's gonna have the best home ever.
