The people need to learn patience and should respect your decision to sell the puppies at 12 weeks. There anxiety to secure a puppy makes me wonder what kind of “Yorkie parent” they will be. Serious and responsible buyers will put a deposit down. I purchased Tara, who is now 5 years old, from the same breeder that I purchased Cody from eight years earlier. Tara was only three weeks old and the breeder e-mailed me pictures. I immediately sent her a $50 deposit check. She did not let the puppy leave her house until she was 16 weeks old! I was totally okay with that decision since she professionally shows Yorkies and I totally respected her decision. A good, reputable breeder will let the puppies go when they are ready….not when the buyer thinks the puppies should be sold! Listen to your heart and go with your decision of at least 12 weeks. Good Luck! |
