I'm just gonna rant and ramble on here.

I'm really not trying to offend or be a jerk (although I will probably do both)

I'm wondering if anyone else has these thoughts...........

$8500 seems like a ridiculous price. Who would spend that kind of money for a tiny dog that can't be shown, could have possible extensive and expensive health problems AND has the potential to cause heartbreak to the buyer due to the poor health and possible premature death of the darling doggie?
Would anyone here at YT?
I, too, agree that someone representing themself as a reputable and knowledgable breeder would find it IMPORTANT to do that in a manner that wouldn't cause eyebrows to raise. (spelling, grammar, advertising, etc.)

Does anyone else feel like this forum, made up of absolute Yorkie-adoring, animal-lovin', big-hearted, want to save every fur baby kind of people, is a possible TARGET for money-hungry and unethical breeders/brokers??

Has anyone done a search for specific names of sellers in phone books and not found them? Has anyone searched for an attorney's practice and not found that?

Does anyone else want to speak-out when they see red flags but is hesitant because they don't want to offend or be thought of as a trouble maker or as someone trying to cause drama?

*My grammar and spelling suck- especially under the influence of powerful cold medicine*
