Issues with the Yorkie I put a deposit on..

[Taz_Zoee]

Katie, I'd probably go with the puppy on petfinder. This breeder sounds shady and you shouldn't get involved. I just hope she'll give you the deposit back. But if she isn't responding or answering calls.......
I know you had your heart set on the yorkie, but this other pup needs a home worse than the yorkie. And it's just as cute!
Good luck with whatever happens.

Katie,

I think backyard breeders are scumbag greedy $#%^& along with seedy ambulance chasers and car salesmen.

I hope your application is approved!!

I just think Yorkies are supposed to be a certain size, and breeders who purposely breed them to be smaller and smaller are just producing poor weak animals who do break bones easily and are prone to a lot of other illnesses and injuries......I had a standard dachshund when I was a kid....pretty big...then came the miniature dachshund...a little smaller but still fine...A lady I knew had a miniature toy dachshund....I had never heard of that before...he was sooooooo small..even has an adult, he was like the size of a rat, I was always afraid I would step on him....I think you would be better served to get the rescue yorkies....everyone in the long run will be better off...

Donna? How do you really feel???

I don't see why you couldn't have a 16 pound dog with cats and a 2 pound dog. I have a 70 pound dog with cats. As long as the pup grows up with the chi they should get along just fine. Heck on another forum someone has a 225 pound mastiff with a 2 pound chihuahua.

I just would not feel comfortable with it. Plus the cats are NOT dog friendly, I dont think they know Joey is a dog!

I dont think the dog would purposely hurt him, but unintentionally.
