My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | Ugh! I just got the most disturbing email ! This just baffles me and is so upsetting. I had someone email me...."looking for a tiny teacup yorkie baby thats only a couple weeks old" For his girlfriend for Christmas. He said its what she wants to she can bond to it. I am educating the best I can...but I certainly pray they don't find someone that would actually do that. Ugh...just breaks my heart. A poor puppy can die in the hands of the uneducated Puppies should never leave until 12 weeks I feel, and I still have a hard time parting with them then most times! |

| Just educate him all you can. My hubby used to want me to get dogs when they were young (not a couple of weeks old but young) for the very reason this person gave...bonding. It took me a while to get through to him how the older they were, the better adjusted they would be and bond BETTER to him. People just don't know until somebody tells them. I sure hope you get through to him.

| People don't understand or get it. They see a dog, they want a dog. That is all they know. Very few people educate themselves about a specific breed and their needs until AFTER they get the dog. Plus, the holidays is the worst time to get a dog as a gidt for another person. Me personally, I would not want a dog as a gift, even if it WAS a Yorkie. Unless I was there to pick it out. The only exception I could say would be purchasing a dog for a child. In that case, your really the one responsible for the dog anyway.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Breny no pup of any size should go to a home at a COUPLE of weeks old. So sad there are still so many folks that don't understand that! I too have had odd requests, and quite frankly insulting questions over the phone for my breed.

| I asked but because the way they do the deposits with first person gets to pick first and then second picks and third gets the leftover puppy I was told no plus they already have her appointment to get her fixed because they no longer want to breed.

WELL at least you have the experience AND Guinness Edit: On second thought, could you not just pick her out and then have her stay longer?
