| I was READING The posts on here...... regarding buying and selling puppies and contracts and what to ask and all that stuff....... and to tell the truth I NEVER do get what all the hoopla is about asking all the questions to prospective buyers. I mean for gosh sakes, a person can tell you ANYTHING they think you WANT to hear. So my mind tends to wonder what the point is?????? YESSSSSS there are a few who are going to say things and make you NOT want to sell them the pup but a smart person only has to tell you what you want to hear and you will send your pup off thinking it went to the greatest home. ANYWAY.... It was only my thoughts and doesn't mean anything so don't anybody take it personal

Usually when purchasing a puppy....The breeder will have several conversations with an individual...which ultimately reveals more and more about that person. I also think most breeders develops a gut instinct about people. You can quote rhetoric....but a person's innate warmth, kindness and intelligence is hard to mimic with any real sincerity. Besides...truth be told...most people can spot a phony a mile away. If you can't, then you're not trusting your inner voice....it never lies .... Francie | |

| It's sad to say but..people lie all the time about dogs! What's so hard about being honest? It's terrible, so I agree with you. |

| Unfortunately I have to agree. It isn't necessarily lying either. The fact is they can have an idea based on genetics but my Chloe is larger than both her parents and yorkie puppies look alike to the average person like me and once you fall in love, there's no going back. I have hear of people who insist they return a puppy if it doesn't stay small, etc. but I couldn't do it. All yorkies are so lovable but I'm certain I paid too much for mine. Oh well, they are great anyway and its only money, right? |

I talked to a lot of breeders when searching for my Monte...I only felt comfortable with 2 of them, I purchased my baby from one, and trusted the other to bring my baby to me. So, it goes both ways.

| Unfortunately, you're right. People can say whatever they want and some are really good at it because they've done it all their lives. But, I find it works both ways. Unless you go to a reputable breeder and actually visit their home, you can't always believe them either. I called a breeder in answer to a newspaper ad, but when I went to see the puppies, I was upset at where they were and how dirty everything was. I got a whole different impression when I talked to the breeder on the phone. It's sad that we live in a world where you never know what to believe. |

| I've mentioned this before in posts. I know for sure, that whether it's true or not. I would state 1 I have a fenced in yard. 2 I have no large dogs 3 I have no small children 4 I am home most of the day 5 I have my vet on speed dial. All of the above are true, except for the vet on speed dial, but I don't feel I should have to be interrogated just to adopt a pet. I'm not a child. I had one breeder quit responding to my emails, just because I adopted Ollie at 8 weeks. So she saw me as an unfit mother.??????????? |

I don't mind a breeder asking me any questions, but I won't give out any personal info such as my social security number. It's a shame that anybody in the world can have a baby, but when someone wants to adopt or buy a dog, they get the third degree. | |

| I would never go with a breeder who did not ask questions. To most breeders my home would not be great for a yorkie, we have large dog, small children,unfenced yard... but my breeder who I got Reggie and Kenzie from did take the chence of speaking with me and listened. She gave me the opportunity to explain why I was great for a yorkie. I am home all the time, my standard poodle was borught up with toy poodles and is so gentle with the yorkies, he always shuffles his feet to make sure they are not going to stepped on. We have never had an incident with him and the yorkies. My children are aways supervised with the dogs (like my hand is on the dogs or him) plus when he is playing he is in a gated room adn the dogs have the free reign of the house, I would never leave them in there alone together, he is only a toddler and could fall on them. Our yard is not fenced in because we just moved in, but I have a large porch, that is gated in, the yorkies cannot get off and nothing can get on, it has a roof, so I do not worry about hawks or the sun burning them, plus they are never allowed outside with out supervision. My breeder listened and allowed me to have 2 of her puppies (they are a year a part, we got one and loved him so much went back for another!) My breeder was honest and said that she was not sure until she spoke with me many times on the phone and got a feel for me and my lifestlye and intentions for the pups. So everyone my not fit the perfect profile but a breeder needs to go by their instincts. |
