surely this poor little scrap isnt ready to be rehomed?
..and how can it be advertised as 'good with children and other dogs and cats' at that age?
would be very interested to hear from more more knowledgable dog people on whether puppies taken away from their mothers this young are known to exhibit either psychological or physical health issues in later life?

I also reported it to the RSPCA and the ad has gone now, hope its because of their involvement, someone has taken screen shots just in case.
That pup is way too young to be away from its mother, certainly too young to be sold and it dosnt look at all well poor little soul.

Well she did say she wouldnt accept less than £250 for it, I wonder if she bred it and then you have to wonder what happened to its siblings and its mother. Perhaps the mother rejected it and she hand reared it, who knows, it just looked a very miserable unwell puppy. I just wish for a happy outcome for the poor little thing

My MIL has a yorkshire terrier who was taken from his mother early. He is insecure (and sometimes aggressive because of this) and also has to have 'comforters' such as a tea towel to suckle! I believe this is related to his early weaning. He also a very sensitive tummy! However... That could be due to the ***** he's fed.... But that's another story!!

Ive had an email from the RSPCA asking me to ring the cruelty helpline, I had sent them an email with the link so why couldnt they have passed it on to the relevent people.
Ive rung them this morning and they say its a shame the link has gone, Ive told them I can get them a screenshot of the ad and they are going to pass on to the relevent people and get back to me.
Sadly I dont feel very confident.
