Just Venting
 

I posted in the breeder forum asking if anyone had ever heard of this breeder www.terrystwobytwo.com No one has heard of her but everyone was saying it looked shady because of the number of different breeds she had at the same time and that her yorkie gave birth to 8 pups!

But the main reason why I asked about this breeder is because this is where I bought my yorkie from. I have had her for over a year and love her to death. I bought her before I found out about the Yorkie Talk website on a recommendation from a friend that bought a dog from her. Yes I bought the dog sight unseen from MS and had her shipped to NY and wish I would have found this site before I purchased her. In reading this site there are a few things in my dog that I have noticed.

1. she has an underbite (the breeder told me this b4 I got her and I wasn't concerned because it wasn't life threatening) but if I had known what I know now I know this is a genetic defect in the line.

2. Her hair won't grow and is very coarse. She is over a year old and still has puppy hair. I know now that this is also a genetic defect.

3. Her ears are HUMOUNGOUS and legs EXTRA long. I have never seen a yorkie as tall as she is. She is very tall and her ears are huge. This to me is also some type of defect or either not a good line.

I love the dog I have but if I knew then what I know now I would not have purchased from her. I think she must not be breeding to better the breed. I haven't quite figured it out but the more things I learn the angrier I get that my dog doesn't seem to be genetically correct with the yorkie line. She looks full blooded yorkie but these were just some things that I observed. :(

But the important thing is that your baby loves you. That's the great thing about these babies, they love us regardless of our faults. I'm sure she's sweet baby and as long as she brings you joy and you're not breeding her, then enjoy each other and take your lessons learned and plan on using them in the future if you get another baby. Everyone's yorkie looks different and unique in it's own way, that's not what makes up the yorkie. It's their kindness. I'm sorry you had to work with this breeder but your yorkie was brought to you for a reason :D

Here is a picture of her just in case u guys were wondering what she looks like.

Yeah I wouldn't trade her for the world but I do know if I ever get another one I now know what to look for. and no I will not be breeding her.

She's just precious!

But you love her and that's all that matters!! I don't know if my breeder was the best but I don't care, her imperfections make her great!!!

She is adorable :D

i agree 100%

Quite frankly, I think her ears give her amazing and unique character. She is absolutely adorable. :)

she is cute

One of my two is full of faults too. He is over the standard in weight, Has a cotton coat, and has severe allergies. It just makes me more concious when I chose a breeder for my next one. I love Chachi to death though.

My story is almost the same as yours. Except I SAW Dublin before getting him from a breeder that a friend had turned me on to.

I think that Dublin was as much as a month younger than she told me. He was supposed to be under 7lbs and he's now over 10! He also has an underbite that became even more pronounced with his adult teeth, and his hair is growing painfully slow...

He's still adorable, has personality plus, and I wouldn't trade him for the world. But I understand where you're coming from...

Just because she doesn't fit the breed standard does NOT mean that she isn't a great pet. She looks very lovable and though she might not be everything that you wanted, she loves you and you love her.

There are many breeders out there that aren't producing quality pups. People purchase them then are upset when the dogs don't turn out as expected. I wish that you would have found YT before that purchase but it's okay. You know what kind of breeder she is but like I said, she looks precious so don't feel disheartened.

I love the ears I actually asked Sugar Bears Breeder if she'd have big ears like her Daddy and he said he was unable to say. Then when I got home he called to ask me if I was unhappy w/ her b/c of the comment about the ears and I said absolutely not I live her to pieces and I want her to have big ears..... Your baby is totally cute
