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. |
Well, my current yorkies don't bark (I taught them not to) and I'd hate to have them start by learning from Vanilla (if she barks). She's 8 months, is it still possible to train her not to? Oh, she isn't even potty trained! Is it too late for that as well? My 8 month pup is 100% potty trained, so I can't imagine one his age not potty trained...OH! She lives in Merced and she said she will drive to modesto to save us from a longer drive. Is that a red flag?
Please Please Please advise me! I don't want to make a poor decision.
