Here's my story: I posted in a KiJiJi ad that I was looking for a Yorkshire Terrier in December. This one lady emailed me and said she has a litter coming that will be ready to go to new homes in December.

A couple weeks later (September 24), she emailed me and said the litter was born! I was so happy. So I knew about the puppies before they were even born. That's why I knew about them at such a young age. But I was aware that the puppies won't be ready to go until December 24, she says. So she's still giving 12 weeks with the mom, which is good.

She owns a full fledged farm in the countryside and breeds Yorkies for sale to pet owners only (non-breeding contract).

She sounds legit to me. Do you think I could still ask to put a deposit on one of the other males if they're not taken yet? Or should I keep looking around?

I see ads in the paper all the time for people advertising litters that won't be ready for a month or more.
