As far as the 8month old female... I haven't heard back from the seller today???
I let my daughter browse the internet last nite with me searching about more dogs. She found a male 10wk $350, he was originally $450 but the seller says he lowered the price because his other yorkie is about to have puppies & he wants to go ahead and sell these. He is about a 2hour drive from my home. He said he had a Dr. appt tomorrow at a hospital that is about 30mins or less from my home so we are meeting him tomorrow afternoon to look at these two boy puppies to see if we like them, he only gives a 48hr guarantee tho??? I will be honest I am a little weary of purchasing either of the puppies but my daughter thinks they are soo cute! I tried to explain to her that they could be sick or not cared for properly because they are so cheap. He did their worming & shots & said the vet did their dew claws & tail but he didn't tell me that until I asked about it???? He is an older man & seemed very nice & very "country" I actually like the southern sweetness we have here so that didn't bother me that much. He knew every answer to every question without hestitation...How do I know he is not a byb or that they do not live in clean conditions? I am attaching a pic of each of the two boys for yall to see, let me know if you think the female puppy from above or one of these looks like a healthier puppy to you...... I promise this is it, I will not post anymore. The next you will see is our new puppy with my family!!! |
I don't blame you for being concerned! The cheap price would give me great pause as well! There is that saying "The cheap comes out expensive."
A reputable breeder would not be offering only a 48 hour guarantee!
I see they are CKC not AKC which isn't considered a reputable organization by many!
A reputable breeder would be keeping them until 12 weeks, do the proper vaccines, etc..
I wouldn't purchase any puppy without seeing where they live, the parents...
