I have just had a litter of pups. They are 2 weeks old. I have placed ads to sell them I have gotten a lot of inquiries. However, I do not want to place a yorkie even though this person is willing to "PAY" for it with small children in the home. I rescued a Pom a few years back from a home with two boys that were 2 & 4 they would pick this puppy up around the neck I just cringed. I can't see placing an innocent baby in this sort of home. I know there are people that have well behaved children and try to teach them about animals the other concern is children at that age are not as aware of a small dog around them when they are busting the door open to get to the bathroom, for that matter many adults are not either.

I suppose I am screening potential buyers for the well being of the pet. I have made several people angry because I would not take a deposit for a dog for that very situation.

There are those that want the tiny yorkies...They are completely unaware of the health problems that can arise with one that is very small. Most of them don't even realize that they can't be placed on a couch, bed, etc and be left alone they are like infants, with a toddler behavior, I can just go right off the edge it will be fun....If someone wants to say can I get the dog for $100 because I can't afford it but I want one that is only going to be 2 lbs. There is no way they can afford medical bills should they arrive from one that small.

I will keep the puppies if I can't find someone that will be good to them. I love the breed. I suppose if I was just breeding for money I wouldn't care who gets them.

Is there any one that puts guidelines out as to what the perspective buyer must have or not have?????

When I bought my two it was the eyes of my female that attracted me.. The second one was brought back to the breeder because they didn't want him. I don't see how someone could not have wanted him.
