| Tiny baby girl Kathy Sliger 22919 Anthony Rd. Cicero, Indiana 46034 317-758-1841 Sire: Buster UKC Champion- AKC major pointed (weighs 4 3/4 pounds to 5) Dam: Babs AKC registered 5 pounds. Little gal born 10/30/2005 as of today weighs 12 ounces. This little peanut is my stud fee/ pick of the litter puppy. I will be leaving the other two puppies with their mom who has hopes of showing them. The other two kids will mature close to 5 pounds. This little imp will not be able to leave for for a long time. Most of my kids leave at 12- 15 weeks of age not sure on her. I am looking for a devoted loving home for her. No young children or large dogs. Ideally a stay home mom or dad or a home where a caring adult is present 24/7. A parent who takes her to work part time would also be a option. There will be no shipping when she is ready to leave home-She will have to be picked up in person. She will have the same health warranty of 1 year after purchase just like all the other kids. I am not sure if I will sell her with AKC limited papers or no papers at all. Bottom line "THIS KID IS NOT FOR BREEDING" No ifs ands or butts. She is spoiled and quite the queen bee- does not play well with others her own age or older- they are too rough on her. She likes being held and snuggled. Price I have not set a firm price-will depend on the home and the person. I anticipate around $1,300.00 at the high side. I am accepting inquiries from mature adults who have a serious interest in a little one. Please feel free to pm me or contact me at wnalegria@aol.com . Busters pictures are on my website and more can be seen at Feminvstr's- yorkie passion. |

| Kathy, I am happy to see you post what your requirements are for this little one but I am also going to assume (yes I know what that makes me if I am wrong ) that these are your requirements for all your furbabies. It seems no one ever talks about the ideal puppy placement for these little ones. Most Yorkie Rescue's that I know have the same requirements, mature adult, someone home most of the time, no large dogs or young children and no shipping. I realize rescue's take alot of flack for this but it really is in the dogs best interest and that should come first (IMO). I am sure you will find a happy, safe little home for your little girl.

on a larger baby I will not require a stay home mom or dad. I will ask about other pets and children. I have a advantage with yorkie talk members- I can go and look at all your posts and threads- gives you a great insight into a person gives me a idea if we share the same basic beliefs. I have found over the years that each placement is a bit different. Some Yorkies are too active for a very quiet mature home- they want a little more action/ activity-so you look for that home that has that needed element. It needs to be a good match between the baby and the new parent or parents. The hardest placement can be a young single person- the worry is that they will fall out of love with the dog when they find the significant other and or start a family. Our society has become a disposable society. Things are too eay to obtain and dispose of when it suits our needs. The last time I had a little it took me 5 months to find the right home. | |

We post our hopes and requirements. Are they cut in stone no. I like YT memebrs cause as I mentioned I can look into your soul by looking at your posts and you can look at mine. We both can see if we share common hopes and beliefs. It is a great starting point. Did I have yorkies with young children - sure did- because my breeders in the 70's had faith in me. Somone who will conatact me from the intenet website is at a disadvantage because I have nothing to base what they are telling me is the true or not. They have a lot of prooving to do for this old mule. | |

| I really admire your ethics as a breeder. It sounds like a home with a mature couple with 'no other pets' would be the ideal forever home. I'm sure you will find the best owner for her in time. She sounds really special. I have a 4 lbs. Yorkie and a (sleeve) Peke that's 5.3 lbs. They are both relatively placid and get along. However, occasionally I must separate the Peke from the Yorkie since he is stronger/younger and gets over stimulated when playing. It's usually when they are competing for my attention. I'm working with him on a verbal command to correct this. He's extremely intelligent and loves to please me. Pixie (Yorkie), is more aloof and independent, the 'boss!' Jessica |

| [QUOTE=wnalegria]Our society has become a disposable society. [QUOTE] In rescue we always started with the ideal situation because we wanted what was best for the dog. Some of these little ones had already been thrown away once, twice and in some cases three or more times in less than a year. Did we always get that? No, but we sure wanted a starting point. We could always tell when someone just wanted a "Yorkie Fix" and really didn't think about the long term affects on the dog. Some of our best adoptions were not with the Ideal Situation but these people proved they could give a wonderful forever home to one of our rescues. It is a starting point for discussions and it lets us know how sincere people really are and what their knowledge is about Yorkies. In our rescue we also wouldn't adopt to someone who was too old unless they wanted one of our elderly dogs, again we didn't think it was fair to the dog to have to find a new home after 5 years because the person passed on. As many of you know all of my dogs were throw aways and not always from bad people but just bad situations. I hope people understand I was talking in generalizations about the Ideal Situation.

I use rescue to help me place older gals or just babies/adults that are sent to me cause people know I have yorkies. Last gal I placed with rescue- I sent her new mom to rescue. A lovely older person who fell in love with my gal. It was a win win situation for the two of them. It makes me feel good when I hear from this older person and the joy and hapiness these two old timers are sharing in their golden years. | |

| I would love to take her (and I could take her to work), but I'm afraid my moose of a yorkie, Logan, would crush her. He just wants to play with everyone. But I might have the right home for her. A lady I work with mom recently lost her husband and has been stealing her daughters yorkie for company. They wanted to get her an older yorkie that was already trained so this might work out. I will ask. We are around south bend, Indiana so picking up won't be a problem.

| It is always so hard to let go of our littlest babies. I have been told I am discriminating when I say I want a home with someone home ALL day-not necessarily the same person but a family member; interview ALL household members (that is not always necessary), when placiing as a pet, I place where they will be an only child or one of two; NO kids!; and NO ELDERLY people--that raises eyebrows BUT, when explained that the life span is up to 18 years, by the time the person needs lots of medical care so will the elserly dog. I will however place an older retired or rescued dog in that home IF I have an agreement that a specific family member has agreed to take over the care if needed. Also, I tell people I am 68 and I wouldn't sell a new puppy to me!! Can you imagine in 15 years someone having to haul an 83 y.o. mom to all of her docs and then taking an elderly Yorkie to all of her docs? There are so many things to be considered when buying or selling one of our Yorkie babies and everything MUST be in writing..I feel that a take-back policy is one of the most important phrases in a sales agreement.. |
