| Ughhhh Someone who is very interested in getting a puppy keeps saying that they will drive down tomorrow (they live a couple hours away) to get one, but they don't want to place a deposit...they want one NOW! They have a good home for one, and everything checks out great...but the puppies are only 10 weeks old and I REALLY REALLY don't want to let them go until they're 12 weeks or older. The one they want is the biggest girl, Hailey, but I'm still just not comfortable with it... What should I tell them??? |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I would be a little concerned about it too. Why are they so impatient? Seems to me if you really want something badly, it's worth waiting for, especially just 2 weeks? I've known yorkie owners that waited months and even years until just the right one became available.

what does your vet say? I've known people to let the yorkie pups go at 10 weeks with vet permission..but I too would be concerned as to why they are not willing to wait. then again, I know how it is to want something right when you find it LOL I got maggie at 11 weeks and she was fine for the most part...but she did go a few days where she wouldn't eat and I almost lost her on her 2nd day home with me. so...I always think it is better safe than sorry. know what I mean??? maybe try and see if you can get a feel for why they aren't wiling to wait 2 more weeks.

| I would just flat out tell them they'll have to wait until the puppies are 12 weeks old. It's in the best interest of the puppies. If they decide not to buy a puppy because of that, then is it really the best home?

| maybe you could send them some pictures to hold them off until you're ready to let him go. |

| Good point, that's exactly what I told him. He said he understood and that he'll come and see them tomorrow and place a deposit. It's his girlfriend that's anxious to get one, she just lost her pet I believe. It's so frustrating to try and tell someone that if they're not getting it, ya know? lol |

| Sounds like they need a Mother's Day present. Are you sure it's for them? |

| If they are not patient enough to wait for two weeks will they be patient enough with training the pup, etc.?

| They must respect your wishes... Always go with your instinct, and your beliefs, and in the best interest of the pup...If they are not willing to respect your decision, then let them find another pup... Its their loss... No one more than you, wants this pup to be healthy and well before going to their permanent home... I LoVe My FuRbAbIeS, NyGeE, GiZmO & GyPsY!! |

| Hahaha,,,,same problem with my Dad Nicki.. But these poeple are not your dad. Hold firm, Are they getting pick of the litter? Then to me , its worth the trip to put a deposit down on pick of the litter for sure. If not let them go elsewhere. Dont let them pressure you girl.
