Thanks for the inquiry....I will answer these the best I can for you

Did you buy him from a breeder on yorkietalk? If not, who did you buy
him from? I dont think the breeder is on yorkietalk but I dont know that for sure. I bought him from an ad I saw locally in the paper, the breeder was from a private home in Roselle, Illinois. I just wanted a pet, and rather than ship one in I found a local place so just opted to go their to pick out the puppy
Do you have pics of the parents? I dont have pics of the parents and dont think I can get them. They were both blue/gold and I know nothing about standards for this breed, but they were quite nice looking dogs, the dad was smaller than the mom and he was 2lbs and some ounces and the mom was 4lbs and some ounces. I have the registration papers (havent filled them out yet since I am selling him) and theiir numbers are on their if that would help??
Is there a contract to go with him as a health guarantee? When I bought him there was a one year health guarantee that only covered life threatening genetic defect, or something severe along those lines, and the deal was an exchange for a new puppy when available and I believe a refund (but not sure, I dont have it in front of me) if nothing was available. He has been vet checked and the only thing noted was he is cryptorchid (only one testicle is evident, but vet assured this is normal and it could become apparent or if they neuter him just pull it down, and for breeding apparently it will not affect him--) Because I am not a breeder I personally do not offer a guarantee, but I would assume that whoever owns him gets that one year out of him if their is a serious problem. If someone is local and wants him and decides after a few days they dont want him I would take him back and just keep trying to rehome him, rather then totally confuse him.This breeder was not willing to take the dog back from me when I decided against him because she already got paid...so that irritated me since her network is probably better than mine...but then I found this site and hopefully it will help speed up the process of networking him and getting him a solid home.
I hope this was informative enough. I wish I knew more about the parents, I seem to get that question a lot...
