| internet sales ad response? i was just wondering how many of you breeders advertise on the internet and if you ever get any response. i have seen a few of your names on a few of the sites. seems like the sites I have looked at have thousands of yorkies for sale. plus, I think people are getting afraid because of all the scams going around. i was planning on selling mine on the internet if I can have any look. Of course, right now I only have one for sale and am not even sure I will sell her. Thanks |

| This is my personal opinion, but I will say that I never advertise a puppy for sale on the Internet. My website and anywhere my website may appear is there for information and I do get enquiries about puppies. Those enquiries are based on my family pictures of my Yorkies and pictures of pups were those I had within the last few years and are to give an idea of what my pups and adults look like along with a few show pictures. My website badly needs updating though as I do have some champions I have finished since and some cute pet puppy pictures of pups I sold in the last year or so for pet. As my interview and placement procedure is so stringent, there would never be a point to advertising a pup for sale on the Internet. From the enquiries I get from elsewhere in Canada or the US, I usually try to determine where the enquirer is from put them in touch with a reputable breeder in their area. Potential puppy buyers find me via my website, at dog shows, referrals from other reputable breeder friends, and referrals from people that have a pup from me. I want to interview the potential puppy buyer, eventually meet them first before I will agree to a sale. Somewhere somehow, the right home always comes along. The pup is usually closer to 6 months and sometimes more and then will be already spayed or neutered. That's aobut the best nonbreeding contract there is. Once sold to a new home, that buyer has all the support and resource for information they could ever want. That comes from me, the breeder, and if I need to I will get in touch with any of the three Vets I have for my dogs or if it is a training issue that I don't know how to resolve, I get in touch with my dog trainers that I take my show training from. I don't have many pups for sale at any time and am never in a hurry to get them out the door. They can stay here with me until that right home comes along and back here they come if that home doesnt work out for some reason. |

| Thanks thanks for your input. You may not know but Silk's baby was my very first attempt at breeding. I research for over a year before even bought a yorkie and have been researching ever since. Still learn something everyday from fine breeders such as yourself. i don't plan on showing. Not even remotely interested. I have been involved with my husband in breeding and training his Field champion beagles for about thirty years so i do have him for support. of course, these little guys are a whole different ballgame. I also live in a very rural area and right now am just trying to plan ahead. You know something, most people around here have never heard of a Judabob dog or any other bloodline. They sell pets for something like a thousand dollars and can't tell you anything about them. i called about one today just to get an idea of going prices and lines that are out there. I told the man that all my dogs are from the Judabob line, two having come from kathleen Parsley herself and he had no idea what I was talking about. Then he referred me to his friend that was selling 'chocolate yorkies which he said are very rare. I said, Oh my goodness, that is a genetic fault and he just laughed. oh no, those are very rare and very expensive he said. I just thanked him and hung up. Again, thanks for your response some day maybe i will be as experienced as you are but we all have to start somewhere and I am paying my dues. |

| Perhaps the workweek will yield more reponses. I'm sure there are plenty of experiences out there. Great reply to strive for so far. |

| Well there shouldn't be any flaming, we're all here to learn from each other's experiences. Though do consider the fact that some might not come forth as classified advertisers as they may think it may be looked down upon. Not me, just something to take into consideration. |
