| Would I be bad Would it be bad to put Penny for sale in my local paper if I can't sell her on YT? What kind of questions would you ask a prospective owner?

| I don't think you would be a bad person for putting an add in the paper. Have you thought of placing her photo at your Vet's and try to sell her? If it where me I would write down all her good traits as well as bad and would interview all want to be buyers. Making sure they know these type dogs are lap dogs and not yard dogs. At least that is the way I feel about mine. I pray she finds a good home. |

| I do not think it would be a bad thing. There are a lot of good people out there that could give her the attention that she needs. There is a good chance they do not even know about YT. Like others suggested....Question them and go with your instinct and Penny's. Tell them about YT also.... I mean...Look at Lewis. He is not with YT and look at how good he has taken care of Maddie and now Sasha....I think you just need to follow your instinct. Joyce

| I have only listed one puppy in the paper EVER but I asked people that called the same questions that I have on my puppy application on my website. Turned down a few flakes and ended up selling him to people that own one of the huge race horse farms here locally. |

| I have a boy and have looked in the paper for a little girl. I am a responsible owner. I would interview by phone and also interview in person to see what their situation is like. Good luck.

| I would rather put a ad in the paper in my local paper then to place an ad on the internet. just because one screens a person you never meet does not mean that they are being truthful. I would rather have the person meet at my home and willing to let me see their home and let my dog see how they act with each other then to not meet a person and go by their word alone. I just wouldnt couldnt do it with out meeting them. atleast by a local ad you would get to know the person and see how your dogs get along with them. |

YT 500 Club Member | We bought our Yorkie from an ad in the paper, and we are great Yorkie owners. Just ask our kids. They think we treat Sophie better than we treated them when they were little.

| I recently helped my sister sell her male chi by placing an ad in the paper. We did get some pretty flaky people who responded, most only wanting to know if he can breed (which we DID NOT want) but we ended up finding him a wonderful home with a lady who helps run a pug rescue. He is now very spoiled and we get frequent picture updates. So, there are great people out there who can be found through ads in the paper. |
