My Puppy Died!! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

So sorry to hear about your puppy...

Sydney'sMom · 06-02-2005, 09:42 AM

I am so sorry for your loss!

I would do what feels right to you. You were in contact with these people so you have a better feel for them than anyone. If you feel that they are good breeders and that this was just a tragic freak accident then I would say go ahead and get a different puppy from them. If not, I would tell them that the loss is a little too much for you to get another so soon and ask for your deposit back. That way you can go to a different breeder if you want or just give yourself some time to mourn before you start looking again.

Once again I am so sorry.

I am so sorry this has happened. The same thing happened to me when I was waiting on my little girl pup. She was Chachis sister and it was like she was here already. My breeder had another female and we adopted her. I say adopt one of the other male pups. Although you are hurting you will be glad you did. A puppy takes away alot of hurts.

I'm so very sorry to hear this. My advice would be to get that money back and find a local breeder. It would be nice if you visit the dog personally rather than having it fly on a plane and not knowing the living conditions of the owner/breeder. Again...I am so sorry. You have had too many feeling at one time - happy and excited to get the little guy and now this. Take care.

I am so sorry for the devastating loss of your Max, I know it hurts, but there is a little guy out there for you, God just needed another fur Angel in heaven and picked little Max.
If it were me, I would try to get one in your area that you could get immediately. Max will always know you love him and he is now your little fur angel.

Maddie-Rudy-Mom · 06-02-2005, 09:48 AM

I am so sorry for your loss, RIP little Max

I am so sorry for your loss, unbelieveable how attached you become before you even hold them.

I agree with Sydney'sMom, only you know how you feel. If they are good honest people, I would believe they are just as hurt as you are loosing a puppy this age, I am sure he meant something to them too. The new puppy can't replace Maxx, but you will find love in your heart for him in addition to maxx.
If you have a contract-I don't really know how they work, we have real breeders who would probably know.

txshopper73 · 06-02-2005, 10:10 AM

This is terrible news.

You have my condolences. If you feel that you can't get a yorkie now, you will change your mind in time. Let yourself heal first. No puppy will be the same as Maxx. I wouldn't hold this against the breeder. They had no idea. Yes, they knew he was sick and did provide the meds for him. Even if they had taken him to the vet whos to say that the vet could have saved him...especially if he was too far gone with the pneumonia.

red98vett · 06-02-2005, 10:15 AM

I just want to say how sorry I was reading that....honestly, I think it IS easier than if you already held and fell in love with him....You can still find a puppy - granted it won't be little Maxx and that's so sad...but I truly think if it was meant to be - it would be....Keep him in your heart...there's room for another - there's a baby out there just waiting for you now....Peace to little baby Maxx

barb · 06-02-2005, 10:17 AM

I am so sorry about Maxx. It's always hard to know what is best, but I think the other people who have been through the same thing have given good advice. You are in so many people's thoughts and prayers, and always remember that Maxx is looking down from heaven. Take your time - you will know when the time is right.

Ilovebaby · 06-02-2005, 10:25 AM

I am so sorry for you loss, and I can't even imagine what you are going through. Please just try to remember that he is in a better place. No matter what he will always be with you, and when the time comes to get another one, Max will be the one watching over you and your baby and keeping them safe and through that baby he will express his love. Again I am so sorry and you and Max are in my thoughts.

lyricandme · 06-02-2005, 10:38 AM

I am so sorry for you! I couldn't help but cry my eyes out when I read this post. My heart is breaking for you! You will be in my prayers.

mybirdys2003 · 06-02-2005, 10:49 AM

I would go somewhere else for a new puppy. Whatever he had might be contagious and you don't want to go through that again. She should give your deposit back. No puppy---no money! Good luck! Take care, and there is another puppy in your future! You will love it, I know!

I am so sorry that some people misunderstood my last message, I was not trying to sell you another puppy, I have a male and female,and they make puppies, I hate to see anyone hurt the way you are hurting,and my message was misunderstood, as I found out,the only thing I was trying to say is that we get puppies,both parents weigh 4 lbs,and a litter will arrive in 3 months,now I know thats a long time to wait, but you need time to grieve and love max's memory,I am not offering a replacement,just another little hairy person to love...I dont breed for the money,my love is for people and dogs,yes I do sell puppies but that was not what I meant,I am willing to give you one to help out,we will talk later,I am just saying there are a few people out here to care and help,please accept this as it was ment..with love,not that I was trying to pick up business,I have been hurt also,and the hurt of loosing a puppy or another loved one still hurts...just come and pick me up, I wont ship

jwash · 06-02-2005, 10:52 AM

I remember how excited I was when I got my girls, you are brokenhearted, as we all are for you. My suggestion is to find another one where you will not have to put him on a plane and you have a chance to actually see the home. Don't get me wrong, they could be wonderful people and things just happen. You just increase your chance of success by seeing the home environment and not exposing the puppy to flying, alone. Many breeders will not even do that. There are websites that show breeders by state and also it was suggested to me to attend a yorkie dog show, where you can find out if any breeders have pups they would consider selling. Good luck!
