Thank you for expressing your concerns thou.

If you have any other questions I do not mind answering them. I'm just a yorkie lover.
If you aren't the breeder of this little guy, then I am not sure if YT allows you to offer it for sale here.
I would be concerned about the size of the puppy, I never sell anything less than 2 1/2 lbs I don't care how old it is before sale. Why? Health issues that can arise and hypoglycemia which can be lethal if the new owner doesn't recognize the problem. Too many vets don't know either so that doesn't always work for a new owner to go to the vet when it crashes. I also would prefer to keep it until it is over 6 months to be sure of health issues and it is BA tested as well as full blood panel for other liver/kidney function. Spay/neuter is done by my Vet once it is safe to do so.
I would never consider using a Yorkie for breeding purposes less than 5 lbs. The parents of this little guy should definitely have been health tested and I would hope there is some sort of guarantee in writing from the breeder who signs the paperwork, protecting the buyer.
If you are selling for someone else, that makes you a third party and can get kind of confusing for the buyer as to who might be liable for the health guarantee.
