I was the first person to suggest rescue. That's all I did, SUGGEST IT! This pregnancy is a high risk case and in every conversation I had with her, I told her there is no pressure. I told her to take her time and ask as many questions here and to the rescue people privately as they shared their information with her. I gave her options. Bottom line, no one wants to see anyone hurt, neither physically or emotionally.

Edited to add: There are also breeders who responded to this thread, and gave her information just as you suggested. From the advice given by experienced breeders it sounds bad and the odds are against the momma dog. Yes, it can end beautifully, but really would you gamble just because you want to keep a dog?

Maybe I'm reading things differently than the last 2 posters, but when someone comes on saying they are overwhelmed and people offer resources I don't consider that mean.

She was offered some very good advice by people who are extremely experienced in both breeding and rescues. I fully understand not wanting to abort the pups- I wouldn't want to do that either. But alerting the OP to the high likelihood of this particular pup requiring a C/S is neither rude, mean or inappropriate. It is giving information that could very well save the life of both the mother and the pups. This isn't the time for hurt feelings when there are 4 lives at stake.

I don't see anywhere that the OP was 'jumped' on. Maybe you could point it out. Actually, I saw many people thanking the OP for rescuing this little one from going to the pound.

That being said, this is a very high risk pregnancy that would be a challenge for experienced breeders, let alone a novice like the OP. Even if this baby can somehow deliver the pups, there is still much to be done in caring for them. It is a big commitment of time, money and dedication for at least 3 months.....which the OP hasn't indicated she has to give. Also, I think her vet is not recognizing the inherent risks with such a pregnancy, and that worries me, too.

I have never before recommended rescue to anyone, but I think in this case it is the best advice to give the OP. I think anyone offering advice would be negligent in not suggesting rescue, given all the specifics of this case. IMO, it's the only responsible advice to give. Remember, this is not her dog, but one that she has just taken in. It is a huge responsibility to just step in to. If she were the owner of this dog and had a skilled small breed vet working with her, I might offer different advice but you have to look at the total picture here.

Are some of you advising a non-breeder to take on the risks and responsibility of seeing a 3 pound Yorkie through a pregnancy and caring for these very tiny pups with little preparation? I certainly hope not.

There has been no harsh anything occurring in this thread but, offerings of help & assistance...all without even the courtesy of reply by the OP.

In fact, the generous assistance offered to OP has been BOTH from Breeders & Rescue ...:rolleyes:...so, she had a choice...she chose neither.

All I can say is: same stuff, different thread :rolleyes:

Give someone good advice and someone comes along and says people are mean. I thought the PP had retired. :rolleyes:

I will pray for this momma dog...sounds like she is going to need all of our prayers. :(

You got that right...:rolleyes:

Tell me about it.

Just for the record this was never advised by any reputable Breeder or Rescue in this thread.;)

Please read that and tell me it makes sense for the OP to keep this pup and let her have these puppies.

Rescue....is NOT taking in pups you cannot afford. I am sorry, but if this makes me mean, I will proudly wear the mean tag yet again.

I am speaking the truth ... sometimes people don't like the truth.

If this pup needs a c-section is the vet guaranteeing free vet care? and also for the pups if they are in need? I surely hope so! Clearly the OP cannot afford the care if she is asking for used blankets.

For those pointing that finger around here...try doing a little research on this OP first.

If you did, you'd see that she has a history of soliciting YT members for assistance and not just for advise & moral support either.;)

Thanks Ladyjane and Miabella. What really concerns me is even if this momma didnt have to have a c-section, how is she going to afford supplemental feedings if she cant afford any puppy supplies?

There are very many kind hearted people out there who want to help, but if your not really bettering the situation, then why take on this responsibility?? You have to ask yourself who are you really helping?? yourself?? or the momma and puppies??

If the OP wants to try to raise these babies then she needs whelping supplies and all of the other things to raise puppies but she doesnt have the money to..a blanket shouldnt be her concern here cuz any old clean blankets would do. Her concern shouldnt be puppy supplies at all...it should be about whelping supplies, healthy meals for mooma and things necessary to sustain life for the pups!!!

Hello Again everyone,

Let me begin by thanking the ones that really offered their help rather than attack me, My decision have been made and momma dog is doing perfectly fine, I just wanted it to make it clear to everyone that by no means I am trying to take advatage of anyone here on yorkietalk by asking for supplies, oh and for the record CARES4DOGS I didnt just recently had a litter the 1 puppy my dogs had is almost 6 months old. Oh and about me getting my dogs for free yes it did happen I was lucky enough to come across someone that could no longer keep him Me making the decision to breed hims is my business their is no need to judge. Dont worry everyone My little pixie is very well taken care of she going to the vet once a weeks for follow up. The vet will be taking her in the last week of her pregnancy, after that he will have her fixed, he really did offer me help he will care for her during whelping and return her after the puppies are 2 weeks old.


I have been greatly disapointed with the yorkietalk members I'm sorry for taking anyones time but this will be my last post here on yorkietalk, If someone really cares to know send me a PM and i will send u my email address

Sorry I meant to say "about me getting my dog" not dogs the only free one has been my male!!!

Thats horrible to hear :(
I hope you can find her a loving home to go to and have her pups x

I wasnt trying to be rude or ugly. I was concerned about how you were going to pay for the necessities to raise the puppies because you said couldnt afford anything.

I think its great (or rather awesome) your vet is taking her in for 3 weeks. When is she due? Do you know how many she is having?

I believe that this is exactly what people were suggesting...that someone with experience take care of this momma and her puppies.

I will pray for them.

Wait a minute :mad:

There are so many holes in this story. You said the owners of this dog said she was never around any other dogs except a 2.5# teacup that belonged to their daughter, BUT then you also said that you've known her since she was 2 months old cuz she would always come play with your dogs. Dont you have an intact male about that size?? So you really dont know for sure who fathered this litter...or do you?

Then you said your boyfriend took her to the vet. The vet said she shouldnt need any assistance except for the cords and such & that your supposed to call the vet when she goes into labor cuz sometimes he makes house calls for ya. But then you turn around and say that the dog has weekly visits to the vet until the last week--which he will take her for 3 weeks to care for her and the pups. Which is it?? What changed in the past few days that the vet would need to see her weekly and now he's taking her for 3 weeks????

I'm sorry, but I just dont buy all of these contradictory stories and I'm hitting the BS button! I feel sorry for this girl and I pray that your vet does make house calls when your girl goes into labor.

This story initially pulled at my heart strings...but now I dont even know what to think. I think I'm not going to participate in this thread anymore.

I wish this little momma good luck and safe delivery of her pups.

I agree.
I have also been looking at the OP past threads and she seems to have a lot of dogs for someone who cant even afford to buy a blanket?
Dogs are expensive so how come she has them all but not enough money for the essentials?
I have also seen a few threads by her asking for free dog clothes from people :confused::confused:
And that she was in the process of building a miniature house for her dogs which will be a replica of her own house?! sounds expensive to me.
I hope she can come and clear a few things up because I hate to think of people like this but something just dosnt feel right.

Just wanted to give the people who actually care an update, Pixie and her puppies are doing great they are were born Aug 9th, she delivered 3 healthy puppies, 2 girls 1 boy no c-section needed, the vet ended up keeping her for 1 week after the pups were born just to be sure she was caring for them properly which she is, I am glad to inform everyone that she is back home with her old owners she is very happy about that and so am I. Her owners agreed that as soon as she is ready they are having her fixed, I will personally make sure this happens.


Well thats pretty much it, thank you to everyone for all the help, I know I might have explained myself in a wrong way which caused all this confusion, but honestly I know I am a good person and I am not trying to take advantage of anyone on here, I dont have to that many dogs, yes I owned a pair of yorkies but moved away from home and they are my parents dogs now. I currently only own 1 yorkie. My dad made the dog house replica himself so how "expensive" could this be...

but anyways Its sad to have to leave yorkietalk I actually really like it, but some of u are just plain mean.


I am including a picture of my ONLY dog "leo" I might not have a lot of money but trust me he is very well taken care of...


Goodbye yorkietalk friends

Wait you gave her BACK to the last owner? I thought they had money issues.:confused: How can they afford to care for these puppies and mother? and what makes you think they will not just give her to the pound now? Sorry I dont mean to be rude but I'm just wondering. This breaks my heart....

Me too :( The mommie should of been sprayed before returning her.
