If you don't think Heidi and I should get another dog, please save those opinions here...we're going to get a female dog this time to accompany Tanner. It should give him great company during the day and at night too. It's not for breeding purposes...they'll both be fixed. Anyhow...question:

Breeder originally was going to sell these puppies for 500 bucks...which is a pretty typical price down here. That's what we got Tanner for, actually. She is marking the price down though, because she really wants to sell them, to 400 dollars. That's a price you can't argue with. The problem??

The puppies were born on 5/17. She said that she turned 6 weeks last Thursday...since we'd get her next weekend, she'd barely be over 7 weeks at the time.

The conundrum here is that she really doesn't want to hold them....I didn't ASK her, but her comment about wanting to unload them leads me to believe she really wouldn't want to hold them for a few weeks. But on my side, 400 dollars is a GREAT deal for registered Yorkies. I even got pics...I'll post the pic she sent me of the one I'd want here.

So...advice?
