| What do you guys think? I found this sweet little guy today and am thinking about adopting him. I wanted to get you guys' opinion. I know he isn't the quality of yorkie to be bred or shown, but I think he's pretty cute! He looks so darn happy! He would only be a family pet, so pedigree is not important to us even though he does have AKC papers. They say he is 5 months old and weighs 5-6 lbs. They also say he has a clean bill of health and will come with vet records. His adoption fee is only $250 with ALL of his "stuff". He isn't neutered and I do have a 14 week old little girl, so I would want to get that taken care of ASAP-- is 5 months too young for neutering? Also, I noticed that his ears are down. Do you think that I could get them to stand up even though he is already 5 months? What do you guys think, should I get him?

| oh, he's adorable!!! if you were looking to add to your family, then yes...get him. i think his ears will stand if you shave them and tape them for a couple of days. and if not, he is still just absolutely loveable!!!! and $250?? that is great. go for it!!! and puhleeeeeez keep us posted! just curious...why are they getting rid of him?

| They are looking to "re-home" him because the wife has cancer and her husband said all their attention needs to be focused on that. In my opinion, if I was in that situation, I would think that a sweet happy little thing like that would HELP matters, but everyone has to deal with these kind of things in their own way.

| That is some tongue! It makes him look like he is really happy. If you're ready for another dog, I'd definitely consider him. As far as the ears are concerned, I have no idea. Angel's ears are down, but I love them. |

| then go for it. as long as it is not because he is not healthy or because he did not get along with other dogs or people or whatever, then go for it. he is pretty young so even if he had those issues, they could probably be corrected. go for it girl!! and be sure and tell us all about it. he does look very happy and he had GREAT coloring! IMO

| He's very cute. I'd def. get him before someone else does. Also, I had Brooklyn neutered at 5 months.
