truthfully, i have had her for a little over 8 months so i don't think she will give any money back. i haven't spoke to the women since the day after i purchased her when my sallie had a seizure. i had nothing else to say to her after i not so nicely told her what i thought of her. she has never bothered to call me either even just to check on sallie.

thanks kelly

Under two pounds grown is SO so tiny. If you are asking if any of us have heard of dogs THAT small being healthy and living long lives, I'm going to venture the guess that the answer is going to be no. Many of us here do have "tinies" (under the four lb standard minimum), but I don't even know if I've heard of anyone here with an adult dog less than two lbs. :confused: It sounds like you had a rare experience to own and enjoy her even for as long as you did.

Many irreputable breeders, brokers, and scammers will claim dogs that tiny on the internet, but you need to be so so careful. I'm very very sorry that you found what you considered to be your "perfect" dog, and that she grew to be so dear to you, only to die so suddenly and unexpectedly. But if you want to avoid that happening again, I would steer away from looking for a dog that small. And actually avoid the term "teacup", which is usually a red flag.

I know you'll never be able to replace your precious baby, but I hope that someday you'll find the same kind of joy with another sweet and special pup. Good luck to you!

So sorry for your loss. I have 3 and 4 pounders that are healthy, but I think you are definitely taking your chances with one that small. If you do decide to get another one that tiny, I would go through an extensive vet exam first including blood tests and bile acid tests.

i wouldn't take my chances on another one that small, i guess i'm really just looking for the answer that i'm probably not gonna get. i would never have imagined this would happen. but when i lok at pictures on here of other yorkies they just don't look that much bigger then my sallie. it may just be the pictures.
thanks kelly

Kelly-
First, I am so sorry for your loss. My Sissy is barely 4 lbs. She is from standard size parents and her sister from the same littler is 2.5 lbs, though her brothers are over 5 lbs. Sissy has been healthy, other than contracting an upper respiratory infection shortly after she came to me and dealing with Giardia issues.

I would double-check your breeding contract. Sometimes breeders will cover their pups just till one year of age, other times the contract will cover the first year you own the pup. If yours is the latter, then you should get your money back.

With your baby being under two pounds at over a year, she would fall into the category where the really tiny ones don't tend to live long. Most times it is liver failure. If you hadn't had any bloodwork run on her, there might not be any other way to tell if she was sick. The fact that she had a seizure and then become comatose sure sounds like it was something genetic.

Hypoglycemia is quite common in Yorkies of all sizes, not just the tiny ones. I hope you find your way to another baby that can help your heart heal.

Im sorry for your loss!
 

Im very sorry for your loss. I know how you can get attached to one of these little guys....You should talk to the person you got your baby from. I know you cant replace your baby, but at least you will let that breeder wrong that they did you wrong:mad: I have to say i also have 3 yorkies, two that are going to be 3 months on the 2nd of july, and my baby girl is way under a pound. And my little boy is 1.4 lbs.....Im now concerned due to their smallness....They seem very healthy though...extremly playfull... not once have been sick.:animal-pa

well i definitely wish your babies the best of luck. the breeder said at around 2 months she had her first seizure and that daily she gave her molasses. she didn't tell me this until after i got her. are these your little pets or are they from your litters?
thanks kelly

The breeder definitely knew she sold you a sick puppy! This was not just a typical case of hypoglycemia. I'm sure you don't want to create more heartache, but it sounds like you have a good court case if she won't refund your money.

but when she had her seizure with me the first night i had her, i called the breeder and she told me what to give her as it was like 3 am. when i told her how upset i was that she forgot to tell me that i told her i felt i was due a refund but she said her contract states only for genetic disorders. we argued for awhile but all she said was ship the dog back to me and when i receive her alive i will give you a refund. well first problem was i didn't want to send her back and the second problem is how do i know what she will do with her and what if i sent her back and she says well the dog arrived dead. then i would have lost both ways.
thanks kelly

what i should have done when i found out was put astoppayment on my credit card. but for anyone who wants to know it was puppyfind.com and the person selling them was fondarosa kennel in kentucky.

You should post that in breeder reviews.

I am extemely sorry for your loss. I just happened to have an entire entry here and it got deleted, go figure.

I have a Yorkie who is just barely 2 pounds and she is considered "Teacup" size...I believe teacups are usually 2-3 pounds. Keep in mind, that the term is only used to describe their size.

I was very lucky with my breeder and I still remain in contact with her and my puppy is just about 6 months. I have had her for 3 months now. Please feel free to message me for more information because I purchased her off of Puppyfind.com and I can give you more information regarding the breeder.

I also received her via air cargo...I was very nervous but I had faith in the breeder since she has been doing this for some time. She puts sugar water in their crate so they will not go into sugar shock.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Did you call the breeder and let her know that you lost your little girl? I would be very careful about buying puppies off the internet. I would do alot of research on the breeder first. I would also be very weary of a breeder that sells "teacup" yorkies. Breeders will use this term to raise the price of the puppies. If you type in yorkshire terrier in your search you will bring up alot of sites (which I am sure you already know) Most of them will tell you there is no such thing as a "teacup" yorkie. Usually a yorkie that small is not going to be healthy. I would try to find a local breeder where you can actually see the Yorkie Mom and Dad, if he is on the premises. I almost bought from kennel here in Mass called "The Puppy Patch" after much research and talking to a friend, who was a well known large dog breeder, I decided to ask Puppy Patch a few questions....They were all to happy to answer until I asked the question......Can the puppies parents be seen and are they bred local....All of a sudden out came a different attitude....and not a good one....I was told that some of their puppies were flown in from the mid-west, and some were picked up in a van...Do I hear PUPPY MILL??!! I started a new search and found a local breeder where I bought my first yorkie who is a very healthy 5 lb girl...One of her females just had another litter and I will be getting my new baby on the 13th of August.
Again.... I am so sorry for you...I can't even imagine how you are feeling.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Have you thought about letting your vet do an autopsy on her to see if she did have a genetic disorder, in her contract how long is her guarantee. I know this won't bring your Sallie back, but maybe she needs to quit breeding that pair together if there is a genetic problem. Again I am so sorry for your loss.
