| Need suggestions..immediately There's this lady that has 2 yorkies that are APRI registered and about a year old. SHe is selling each for $500.00 and they are not trained at all. SHE KEPT THEM IN HER BACKYARD..for BREEDING purposes only. My heart tells me that I need to rescue these poor little babies but I don't know if I should. What does everyone think about this? |

| Sounds to me like she really wants to get rid of them. I would ask her if she would cut you a deal...ask her if you can have both of them for $600. Those babies DEFINATELY need rescuing! If you have the money to do it, I say do it! Poor little things..... |

| did she actually breed them? I think if they are healthy and if you think you will have the time to invest in their training, go for it. But bottom line, make sure they are healthy first.

| Did she ever breed them? Have they ever got any shots? I would ask her for a deal (since she seems eager to get rid of them -- poor little babies). Maybe both dogs for $600 or $700.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | How awful! It might take some patience training them but you would be doing a wonderful thing rescuing them. I just can't believe how many people are keeping these dogs outside. That is horrible. I hope you can rescue them.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Agree with Nobella about their health. And quick question...you state they are "about" a year old? Did she breed them or just intend to breed them? Or are they older than "about" a year? Also are they on heartworm preventative?

| They look pretty healthy to me they just look look wild dogs that needs to be tamed. They seemed pretty happy when they saw me and when I left the female seemed like she was pretty sad. I know I have the time for training but she won't cut me a deal at all. She says $500 cash FIRM. And I think they have been bred twice (if I'm not mistaken) |

| If the babies are healthy, I say open your heart and buy them! If they're not healthy but you still want them..ask her for them both at a cheaper price. She's cruel to keep those poor fur babies outside in the heat. |

| Tell her that if she isn't going to cut you a deal that you want to take them to the vet to make sure they are healthy. Tell her that you aren't paying $1000 for unhealthy dogs! |

Any chance she'd agree to let you take them to your vet and get his opinion? Can she supply medical records for them?
