Are you sure that she actually Bred your Yorkie and you saw your Puppies Parents? She was asking $2,500.00 for the male I purchased but then sold him for $1,350.00, after I received him she charged
me another $300.00 for his AKC. Registration/Full Breeding Rights. After I got his Papers I noticed he was Bred by someone else, then SOLD/Transfered to another Person and then SOLD/Transfered to her and then to ME!
She claimed she bought him for herself to Breed w/one of her Females, but claimed he was too BIG @ 5 1/5 lbs. to Breed! Thus my Discount. She also lied about his age saying he was younger than he was and smaller than he was and that he was Healthy, he had an Ear Infection, Kennel Cough and he had NOT ever been Groomed his Ear's were NOT Shaved/Tipped, his Nails were NOT Trimmed etc. He looked a Mess! He has Luxating Patella, a Collapsed Trachea and he's a Whopping 10 lbs. after she Garaunteed he would
NOT get any Bigger than tha Standard and she used the "T Word - Teacup"
alot. In spite of all this she taught me alot of "Valuable Lessons" about buying a Yorkie. Despite all the Negative, I Love him w/all my Heart and he is as Strong as an Ox now. He is an Impressive Gorgeous Boy! I thought she was over priced too but I guess you can't put a price on my Happiness?
Thanks for reading and letting me vent, Good Luck on your Quest!

I am glad to see someone else too - yes I did see the parents - maybe I was lucky and got one of her actuall dogs. I spent about 4 hours there and I saw the mom and all the brothers and sisters - but you know the funny thing was - she kept all of the other dogs outside - it was kind of weird - I thought she was a little strange and I did pay $2,500 for Lillie, but yes I did learn a lot of valuable lessons from the purchase. I wish I would have found this site first and I probably would have chosen another dog. I am sorry that your boy had the issues, but you are right - you cannot put a price on happiness. When did you get your little boy?
