This was my reply from her last night with more info about Vanilla...
Vanilla is AKC registered. This is a parti, she has the black spots on her skin, and the black that she did have when she was a tiny puppy turned, tan, which is on her face. I can't say she is potty trained, because honestly she just hasn't had good training. She does bark, but normally only when she feels ignored. For example, if put her outside to go potty and she can see me through the glass door she will bark, because she wants to be with me. She does not bark randomly, just normally if she sees me and wants to come to me, but something is stopping her, ha like a glass door.
She is not fixed, but will be coming into heat in a few months. If bleeding is something you want to avoid, then I would recommend getting her fixed. I am re-homing her because, life has just become too busy. I don't have the time I use to, and she deserves better. i hate coming home to a dog that has missed me all day, just to leave again, to take my kids, here and there.
She is crate trained, but I already promised a friend she could have the crate after I sold Vanilla. Her bed is normally a towel or the pile of dirty clothes. She comes with herself and her AKC papers.
I do want to warn you, she is a big girl, if you are looking for an itty bitty Yorkie, she is bigger than that.  she said she paid 2500 for her!!!  With that, shouldn't it meant that she got a health guarantee from her breeder? I will be rational upon purchasing her because I know better than before (thanks to YT). I hope Vanilla doesn't have a barking problem, otherwise, I can't get her. Also, I hope she's healthy and everything...it seems to me that she is not very spoiled...no rabies at 8 months?!?! no clothes?!? no bed?!? poor girl...it's time for someone to show her sone pampering 
Any suggestions on what to do before/during/after I get her, please don't hesitate! I need some more advice on making sure she is healthy before I buy her... |
What you pay for and what you get don't often have anything to do with each other in the dog world. She was probably sold as a potential breeder, and breeders are selling parti's for this purpose. A good breeder never sells a pup for breeding, you don't even know if a dog is breed-worthy until 8 or 9 months. Unfortunately, some people will breed her only because she has the parti trait, and they market the dogs by calling them "rare." They are really not that rare, and lately it seems like you see more ads for them then standard yorkies. I would ask to see her vet records, I'll bet this person was planning to breed, and there is some reason she isn't.
By the way, what do you mean, you can't get Vanilla if she has a barking problem? I really don't believe that Vanilla only barks when she outside and wants in, I think the breeder is lying about this. You can train a Yorkie to reduce their barking, but you have to work on it.
