| I'm so upset I just called a breeder earlier. She seemed pretty rude. I was asking questions about her puppy and parents, but she seemed to be offended. She asked if I was a breeder, which I am not and have no intentions on breeding. I though I was doing a smart thing by asking questions. Why would she get so offended? Her tone of voice didn't sound so nice. I am so angry... She probably was surprised that I know what I was doing and that I knew a lot about the Yorkshire terrier breed.

| be careful when they are like that. I was supposed to get my baby on Nov. 27th ... and now the "breeder" is playing games with me ... saying the price is going up b/c she was the only female ... she did not tell me that before ... you would think she would have been aware of that small fact before <????> I am so sad ... ask MANY questions .... |

| Well, if she doesn't want to take time to answer questions, then that should show you that she's not the one you want to buy from. Where did you get her name from?

| That doesn't sound good. I would think most reputable breeders would be thrilled to answer the questions and know that you are a responsible owner that has done her research about the breed. If I were a breeder that is who I would want my puppies going to.

| I had a couple breeders be really rude to me when I was looking for Pumpkin. I had several give me the kinda I'm not interested in talking to you if you're not serious attitude. I had one lady start the conversation by saying that we'd have to pay the whole amount upfront...I was like yeah well thanks but you sound a little sketchy- I'll take my money elsewhere! Are you buying a pup online? That's what we did with Pumpkin- she's absolutely adorable and we love her to death but I wouldn't recommend it- her personality is a little too rambunxious for what I wanted and I'm not sure the breeder was quite honest about her size! Anyway definitely find a different breeder- if the breeder's not nice to you- how do you think she'll be with her puppies??? |

| Move on the another breeder. A good breeder will welcome your questions and have lots of her own. Any breeder who is evasive and won't answer your questions is probably not a reputable breeder. |

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | I agree with everyone else. If she is acting like she doesn't want to answer your questions, or gets snappy when you do, I would stay far, far away. A good breeder EXPECTS their buyers to ask questions - this should make them feel good, NOT bothered or annoyed. Something's fishy here

| She should be happy you were interested in one of her puppies and be happy to answer any of your questions and in turn have questions for you. She doesnt sound like a breeder I would want to deal with

| I would move on, they should be then happy to talk about there babies, When i was looking for my aunt a few weeks ago, I had a couple of rude ones to, I just thanked them and moved on. Good luck to you The lady we did get her from was more then friendly and we visted for about an hr and 1/2 before we decide

| any breeder that will not be polite and answer your questionss is not even worth talking to. Sure, as a breeder, I know it gets tedious at times. I deal with it every day and have learned which ones are really interested in buying and which ones aren't? But, I try to be nice and open to everyone. i hope you have better luck with your next breeder. |

| I already know she's not a good breeder. I was just shopping around. I know to do my homework before buying a pup. I asked her how long she been breeding and she seemed to be more offended. I saw found her ad on the recyclers.
