Sad news :( So I was planning on getting a girl yorkie as soon as my move to Texas was over. I was going to pick her up saturday but today, as we are on our road trip to TX I get a sad call from my breeder. Apparently the little girl got her leg some how stuck in the kennel and broke it very badly in several places. The vet told her the puppy would probably always be in pain and have a hard time in life so the breeder opted to humanely euthanize her. I am not upset about that, I agree I wouldnt have wanted the little baby to suffer but I just feel like I want to give up on getting a dog. I have been searching for over a year to finally find a breeder I like again and she happens to have one litter due next month but the whole point of getting a puppy now was so I could be home to train it and once I found a job so Chibi wouldnt have to be left alone. I don't know what to do anymore.....I am just sad. :( |
Please don't give up. I am so sorry for the little one. There are other breeders. If you are in TX now there are several in your state that are associated with the YTCA. Here is their link: Yorkshire Terrier Club of America About The Club |
Still hope That is so sad :( The poor baby. What breeder were you getting her from? You can still research to find another friend for your baby! |
oh how sad. hope everything works out for you. |
I am completely sickened, that breeder could have had the little dog's leg amputated and she would have made a wonder pet for someone. Heck, the breeder could have turned her over to rescue, if she didn't want to pay the vet bills for the puppy. I'm utterly disgusted. I hope the reputable breeders on this website wouldn't agree with having had the puppy euthanized. It was totally unnecessary. Consider yourself lucky, this wasn't a decent person to get a puppy from. Who was it? |
You must be devasted, I am so sorry for you and the puppy. |
That is heartbreaking.... I'm so sorry for both you and that little baby girl :( |

Not an expert on wether on not the pup should have been euthanized, so I will decline to comment on that..but..I am so very sorry that this has happened, I am sure one will come into your life very soon. |
Oh my this is so terribly sad that the breeder did this to the pup. I know there had to be a better way of handling this. |
Oh, I am so sorry for what happened to the puppy and for your loss. You sound just sick. I know you had your heart set on that puppy and now this! Sometimes this life is so unfair and things happen that we just do not understand. Grieve for your lost baby and maybe soon one day you will feel like starting to look again. Maybe this search will go easier as I think Yorkies are pretty plentiful in Texas. |
I am so sad for you, just to know how excited you must have been and now so down. I wouldn't give up, keep looking for your baby! |

:thumbdown I am so sorry for your loss....That poor puppy! I too feel she could've had the leg amputated and a good home found for her. Euthanasia was un-necessary!! I don't think this is a good breeder and would look elsewhere for your next puppy! Don't give up, You'll find her!! Hugs to you, Jodi |
So sorry; I know exactly how you feel. The puppy we initially picked out turned out to be very ill with liver shunt. According to the breeder, the vet recommended she be put down due to her failure to grow and thrive with numerous UTI's. So, she had the dog put down prior to us ever having picked her up. And, I have no idea if she took the proper action or not. I chose another littermate (against the advice of many on here) and she has mild liver issues as well - but not life-threatening. We love her dearly and have no regrets even though she is not completely without health issues. We were so sad and questioned our decisions as well and fate - was it meant to be or not? Turns out it was - but I had many second thoughts. I won't comment on whether or not either should have been euthanized because I just don't know what the Vet had to say. Go with your instinct. If you are having doubts ~ don't discount them. Good Luck and don't despair ~ that special puppy will find you! |
I am so sorry :( |
I just cannot imagine why a dog would need to be PTS over a broken leg other than not wanting to pay for the repair. That is just horrible and if I were you I would be looking for a new breeder. Wow! |
well I kind of wish she would have called me before making the decision, I am a vet tech and could pay for any repair and I wouldnt have discounted a 3 legged dog either but I dunno...the breeder sounded really broken up about it and she said the vet told her it was the best option so I can only assume he knew what he was talking about :( I am undecided about where I want to go from here...its just dishearting because I spent so long looking and then I found her and she was so perfect......I am just sad this happened. RIP baby girl I never knew :rbyorkie: |

I am so very sorry for your disappointing loss. I hope the right little one will come along for you. Hugs! |
life is like this, everything could happen in every second but don't let this stop you. Do whatever you want otherwise is too late and no meaning. I know how you feel, i guess everyone have this feeling like you before. Just don't give up and remember "forget today's bad and wait for tomorrow's good" New life every morning when your eyes open :) |
I am sorry.. but I have faith you will find your pup!!! You need to greave and then look for you new luv. Life can be strange at times.... Maybe there is more to the story then the breeder was telling you. It doesn't seam right to pts the pup for a broken leg.. and if the vet recommended it the break and injuries must have been very bad. I am like you.. I don't understand .. sad. |

I am sorry it did not work out for you getting this puppy. Like others that have posted it seems odd that the puppy would have had to be put to sleep. My first thought was that the breeder just did not want to put out the expense to have the pup undergo surgery if that was necessary. Now, my second thought is that the breeder just changed her mind about selling the puppy and she made up the story. Some breeders have been known to do that. How old was this puppy? Regardless of what happened I wish you the best in your move to Texas and I hope you will find a nice puppy to love once your move is complete. What part of Texas are you moving to? |
That is such a sad story!!! Poor little girl! Good luck in finding a pup. I know you will find the perfect one! Im in Texas too....where about are you moving to? |
:(:(:( My heart goes out to you..... |
Thanks for all your kind words and support, its been hard being so far away from everyone. I am moving to Irving, my bf got a great job offer so I left my job, family, and friends. As long as I have my bf and my Chibi it's ok though. I'm doing ok, though some suspitions about the breeder I found have begun to surface. I am trying not to be angry but I wish she would have called me. I would have loved to talked to the vet about my options, I mean I thought this puppy was mine. I was really looking foward to having a new pup to play with and train while I am looking for jobs. I am just hoping that everything will work out. |

One of mine broke hers in two places, complete breaks, not a minor crack...took five months to heal, but today you would never know she had a broken leg...ever. |
