| Loosing a dream dog I got my yorkie at 6 weeks. I've been raised around dogs my whole life and all have been little dogs. I wanted so much for this dog. My husband hated the idea of spending that kind of money on a puppy. He did anyways cause he knew what it meant to me. ANd now not even having him 2 weeks I've lost him. He died early this morning after spending two days at the vets office. I don't know what to do. He was my baby. Now my husband is saying I can never have another one cause yorkies are just going to die anyways. The vet said they weren't sure exactly what was wrong. He jusat kept having seizures and wouldn't go to the bathroom regularily. ANd he was throwing up. He ate and drank water he just seemed unaturally quiet since we first got him. Everyone kept telling me it was just because he was a puppy. But puppys are supposed to play and be a little active not sleep ALL the time. I thought for one brief moment I had gotten my dream dog. The one I've been wanting since I was a little girl. |

Peeka Boo I See You! Donating Member | they didn't offer you like a 1 yr health gurantee against genetic defects? Have you contacted the breeder to let them know? Sometimes breeders will replace the pup if it was a genetic thing

| yes I did they were completly uncorapotive. I think I made a poor choice in choosing that breeder but their weren't a lot of options in my area. |

Peeka Boo I See You! Donating Member | can you get an autopsy done(i know it's sad) but if it is determined it was genetic and you have a signed contract you have rights either to have the puppy replaced or get your money back. 2 weeks is a very short time to have your puppy die

| See now thats where I feel like an idiot. I didn't get a contract. I feel seriously horrible. I already buried him this morning. I don't know what to do. I didn't want a dog to breed. I didn't want to make money. I just wanted a loyal loving companion for when my husband was gone. I feel so stupid. |

| you do have rights. you need to write a letter to the breeder and to the spca or the local animal authority in your area. this is NOT right. there are lemon laws in most areas. you need to get your money back!!!!!!!!!!! getting a puppy at 6weeks of age is tooooo young. most yorkies stay at home until they are at least 10-12 weeks. you need to do something. please do something about this. we need to stop these types of breeders.

| I am so sorry for your loss I do agree with Lisa, you need to follow up with the breeder to stand behind the little one that you lost.

| I agree. You have right. Report her or take her to small claims court. Keep your vet reciepts. I know its hard but we have to do something so it won't happen again. Just an opinion.

| If you received a health guarantee I would be taking her to small claims court. I know that's no consolation for your loss, which I'm so sorry for. I'm sure your hubby will come around, especially if you can recoup some of your money. If you get another one I'd buy it from one of our breeders.

| let us know who she is and we can send notes advising we are aware of this. if she thinks she is getting a bad reputation, maybe she will come around.
