I am going to meet this little guy tomorrow night:
CKC reg'd ShihTzu Male for sale - Barrie Dogs & Puppies For Sale - Kijiji Barrie
Not a yorkie, obviously, but cute as a button and the right size. And older too (almost a year) so you get the added benefit of training already long under way. He was bought to mate with another shih tzu, but the breeding didn't go well so they have decided not to breed again. They also breed golden labs I think, so they have their hands full.
I am nervous about the whole thing.. I've already asked the most obvious questions - why they are selling him, is he good with dogs, cats, kids, and people (answer is yes to all, and he especially loves people, which is important). I plan to ask to see where the dogs live - where they are bred, and raised. I also plan to bring Oliver (he will stay in the car with my mom until I decide if it's even worth them meeting), so that we can see if it's a good match for the dogs after we see if it's a good match for me.
I'd LOVE some advice on what to look for... signs it might be a BYB or a bad situation and that I should leave. I've emailed back and forth with the owner a lot since last night, and she seems very nice and really seems to love the little guy. But, I really wanna be sure.
His name is Spike.. which I'll likely change if I get him. Might be hard though as he's had that name for nearly a year. We shall see.
