| New here Hi/Hola Hi, I am a new member here, love this webiste. This is my story. I wanted a yorkie since 2009, but I did not find any breeders in our area. Finally, we found two breeders. I choose one near me. When we went to the breeders house, OMG, it was a dirty house, and 2 cute Yorkies runing around, she has the parents, looked good and healthy to me, both have certifications of pure breed Yorkies (maybe, I dont know what is true or not but I saw the papers). She was honest with us (we thought), she said that She did not have money for vet and she went to petsmart, she told us that the puppies had their first shot and other thing, we saw the paper. I asked her the age of the puppies and she told us that the puppies were 8 weeks old. She told us the puppies are eating dry food, she gave us a grocery bag with some food, the name of the food, etc, etc, etc She told us that she never send the papers for the puppies AKA certification because she did not have the money, we saw the applications. I was so sad because the house look so horrible, the place was cold, I told my husband I want the female with or without the papers, I will have a better place for her in my home. I was so mad but on the same time, I was happy to have my baby yorkie, I checked her and she looked fine to me. I had everything in my house waiting for the puppy. We went to our house, our kids were so happy, the puppy was ok but hours later, she (the owner) sent me a text and told me that the puppy that I named Bailey is 6 weeks old not 8. I was so mad, but I need to be honest, I dont want to return the puppy to that house. The puppy cannot eat the food that she gave me, she drink some water. We gave her puppy milk, nothing, she has energy, but we are worried, we mixed the food with milk but that did not work the food was still hard. Today she drank a lot of water, and we bought a can of a wet food and she ate a little bit in the morning, a little bit in the afternoon and dinner, she used the bathroom for number 2, she looks great. I read here about the wet food and I want to change the food for dry. She is sleeping alot. Thank you for reading my long message, we are so happy to have Bailey in our house. I put an album of pictures here in my account. We have a vet appoitment on friday |

| Does she have teeth ? just saying if she were my puppy i would buy a can of goats milk and dilute with water 50/50, give her a little a few times a day and keep giving the wet food for a few days until you feel that she is eating & drinking good, then slowly add the dry in with the wet you have to make sure she is eating good, babies can go down so fast, and its not easy getting them back up...i wish you luck goats milk can be bought at walmart or some grocery stores

| Goats milk is a good idea or Esbilac would help . Esbilac is a puppy milk replacement that is available in powder or canned. There are also other brands of the same. If she is eating a good brand of canned food I would not be in a big hurry to change her over. If it is a good natural variety of food then canned food is every bit as good for a dog as dry. There is no advantage to the dry except the packaging. You need proper dental care for a dog but dry food does not provide that. Brushing your dogs teeth with a good dog tooth paste and giving them things like bully sticks to chew will keep their teeth in good shape. The size of the dog's teeth will tell you a lot about the age of the puppy. It sounds like you got totally ripped off by this lady. I hope you didn't give her much money. |

| Your Yorkie's name is Bailey? Mine too! I don't know too much about a 6 week old puppy. But I think you should take her to a vet and see their say. |

| Grace, thank you for your inf. She is eating Wellness just for puppy wet food. About her teeth, they are growing now, you can see little tiny teeth inside her gums. She has the back teeth. She runs, plays for a few minutes and sleeps a lot. When can she take a bath ? Like a told you, the house of the owner was dirty, cold, and in bad condition.

| The reason i asked about her teeth was most babies have teeth at 5 to 6 weeks this can give one a idea of how old a baby is..if in doubt it sounds like that you are taking really good care of her keep her nice & warm they can chill so fast..if you have a heating pad turn it on (low) and cover with a warm blanket she will love it
