I got my boy Perrito and I was really happy with him, just him, but then my boyfriend got me Jasmin, I did not want another dog, but how you going to say no to that face???? later as I was already in love with them, I did not want to spay them because of the risk of the surgery, well to make the story short Jasmin got pregnat and now I have 5 pups. At first we decide to sell them for like $800 or something like that, but then I decide that I wanted to find a GOOD home for the babys, so I place an ad on craigslist telling people that I have the puppies and we could work something out for them to go a good home, by this I meant to let the future family to decide about dock their tails and choose a vet and make the adoption fee afordable, maybe $300 TOPS. Do you know what happened??? my ad got flagged twice and people start e mailing me asking me for a free puppy because they could not affort $300 and stuff like that and then getting mad at me for not giving them away the way they wanted . That made me think.....I paid almost $2000 for Perrito and Jasmin was over $1000 (I never goint to regret that money it was WELL spended), then every single time they need a vet check from a shot to ANYTHING else like vomiting or shivering, I always took them for a check out and paid whatever the bill was (I have all the recipes) and I'm not a rich person at all, I just love them, they are my children, so how can people ask for a FREE pure breed expensive dog for free when their excuse is they dont have the money to pay a fee?? what is going to happen to that dog if something go wrong and they need medical assistance??? that made me also mad and now I'm not giving this puppies away for cheap and forget about free, but there's something bother me inside, like I'm doing something wrong, I wish I have a big house so I can keep them all.........pls don't jugde me I just need to hear some opinons..........thank you all for lisening, good bless. (and I spaying jasmin nex month, wish us good luck)

First...welcome to YorkieTalk!! secondly.....300...is VERY cheap for a yorkie...if people can't afford that how is the world are they going to be able to afford to own them....they are going to need vaccines and yearly vet visits...not to mention if they should get sick. Do they have papers? If I were you...I would post a picture of the puppies in your vets office to see if you can sell them there. It doesn't sound like you are getting very good people looking at your ad. JMO....Good Luck! I really hope they all end up in good homes...and I am very glad to hear you are having your female spayed...that will be the best thing for her........and you.

edited to add: puppies tails should be docked shortly after birth...NOT after they are purchased...I don't think you would find a vet to do that at that age.
