Hello Everyone,
I'm Tamberly/Txladi29, and I'm new to Yorkie Talk. Since finding this site, I have really enjoyed reading the posts here. Unfortunately, I'm having to post this notice to re-home my little boy, Bailey.
He is so very precious, but at this time in our lives, taking care of him is a little overwhelming. He needs more attention and time than we can provide. Both my husband and I work all day, and that leaves him either in the laundry room by himself or in the front yard with my West Highland Terrier.
Two weeks ago, Bailey managed to slip through the fence and the gate and get out of the yard. He went next door to visit the neighbor's new German Shepard puppies and the outcome was NOT very good. Luckily, I had the day off, and had only run a quick errand. When I returned home, he was sitting under my husband's truck, shaking. He had two small wounds to his belly area, one requiring a few stiches. The second wound was a scratch.
My husband and I have discussed this a lot, and have decided that finding Bailey a new home where this can't happen again is the best thing for him.
I bought him from a reputable breeder in Belton, Tx. I have contacted her in regard to finding Bailey a new home, and she did connect me with a potential new family. However, they were looking for a younger puppy for a cheaper cost.
I will be happy to provide the breeder's information to the buyer for any litter/parent information that I cannot provide. You can also verify Bailey's purchase price, to be assured that I'm not trying to make money from finding him a new home. I just want to make sure he is in a loving, happy home.
He would be best in a home with a playmate, as he has had a great friend in my 5 yr old West Highland Terrier. He has a lot of energy, and loves to play tug of war with Yellow Monkey, his adopted stuffed animal friend. He loves to chase tennis balls, and when done playing, cuddle so that you can rub on his belly and behind his ears.
He is not yet housetrained, but is getting better with a piddle pad. A diaper on him seems to keep the accidents at bay. So, lately a diaper has been on him a lot. If taken outside, he will go to the bathroom, if he is not too busy playing. He hates the rain and cold weather, and will piddle/poop on the porch if it is raining or cold to avoid the weather
He loves my children (ages 14, 11, and 3) and has been camping with us once - he did pretty good. He loves to swim in the lake (and take showers in the tub with us- don't ask...LOL) He also prefers to sleep in the bed with us, under the covers at the bottom of the bed, though he is getting better about not crying when I put him into the laundry room at night with my Westie.
He is about 6 pounds and I don't anticipate him getting any larger. His father was 6lbs and his mother was 5lbs. The breeder still owns his mother. His father drowned in the breeders pool in a freak accident the day before I first saw him, around Christmas time, so I have only seen his (Leo's) pictures.
Other than the stiches he has now, which come out on Wednesday, Bailey is in excellent health. He is up to date on all shots, and is currently on the flea preventative and on heartworm preventative. He is not neutered, and comes with a full AKC registration. A pedigree can be obtained from the breeder or from AKC.
I'm sorry this post is so long, but I really want him to go to as good of a home he has had or better....he is so loved here, but I just feel he needs more attention, and I am scared to death that he will get out of the yard again.
