Hello,
I have an 18 week old male Yorkie. He will reach about 10 pounds, so he’s going to be a big boy. I bought him for a friend of a friend to give to her little boy as a birthday gift, and told them that if they couldn’t keep him they had to give him back to me. They couldn’t keep him and now I have him back. He's not been well handled, no potty training, he didn't even know his name. I call him Bandit and he is starting to answer pretty well to that.
He has not been potty trained. They just let him run wild. I’m getting him used to going outside with a potty pad for emergencies. He is pretty bad to tear stuff up, paper towels, tearing up toys and scattering all the stuffing around, pieces of paper. I had to leave him alone today and he shredded up a book and my phone cord in half. Typical puppy stuff, he needs someone who is home most of the time, or with an outdoor pen or who would crate train him. I’ve got a very close relative of his, and they play pretty rough, and while they like it they are driving me crazy! I just got mine potty trained and I don’t really want to clean up after another right now while I teach it. I thought I was over the potty training! I’m a college student, so they have to be left alone three days a week right now. If I was home full time I wouldn't be putting him up for sale, he's a sweetheart.
He’s coming in with his silver hair, and he wasn’t well groomed, so I cut off the old black hair. I'll take pics of him for anyone who is interested. He is a doll of a puppy, loves to snuggle. We lay on the couch and he curls up on my feet and keeps them warm. If I keep him much longer I’ll get too attached to get him a new home, so I’m listing him now.
I’m asking $250 for him. I’ll only let him go to the right home, preferably someone who has had a Yorkie before so they know what to expect. He’s a great dog, but he does have issues that are going to require patience. I live in Ava Missouri, about 30 miles from Springfield. I don't really want to mess with shipping him, but I will if the buyer pays.
