| Need some advice Hello everyone, I found an ad for a male yorkie that is 2 weeks old at the moment and will be ready for pickup in mid-December. The breeder is asking $1000 for the pup and its estimated to weigh about 3-4lbs once its fully grown. The mom is 4lbs and the dad is about 3lbs. He is AKC, health guaranteed, and will be vet checked and up to date on shots and wormings. Is there any other information I should ask for? Does anyone have any suggestions? What should I look for? I just want to make sure I'm approaching this the right way and figured YT would be the best to ask for help. In the pictures below I have included a pic of the father (in basket), Mother (with pups), and the puppy - sammy. Thanks. |

| Thank you all for the support. I'm going to think it over and talk to my family. Maybe I will be able to get this pup for the holidays. If not, the breeder explained there will be another litter due in December. |

| I would go pick him up. I want to meet the breeder and check out the puppy's parents. I think his stress levels would get too high on a plane all alone at 12wks. And I would just feel so bad knowing hes all alone like that even if its for a short time. hehe. |

| Ok, I made the down payment!!! The breeder said the puppy should be ready around December 18th but he will only be 9weeks. I guess he is moving along quickly but the breeder explained that if he is not ready to leave his mommy that she will have to push back the date, which is not a problem for me at all. I'd rather have him be ready and healthy. I attached an updated picture. He is just so cute!!! |
