Hello everyone, I have a dilema going on in my mind, well this is what happened.
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?? ... <snip>
I wish I'd seen your post on craigslist earlier
I was looking for a male puppy to adopt, and went through meeting several people on craigslist (some of them ended up quite insane and unreliable
). I finally found someone, but on sfgate.com. I purchased our new family addition, baby boy Mojo, for $600 — which I consider to be very cheap when yorkies are concerned. The pup came with 1st shot, de-warmed, CKC registered, and his tail was already docked. Mojo is 10 weeks old. I also saw the parents, and both of them are gorgeous.
Good luck with the puppies!
