Wonderful post, great suggestions, I would like to offer one more tip. Just because someone is a member of Yorkietalk and seems really nice, do not automatically assume their intentions are honest. Brokers who disguise themselves as loving pet owners are often on forums, such as Yorkietalk, and they will often seem personable, pleasant and helpful. You still should do the necessary reference checks and vet check, and ALWAYS do a spay or neuter before rehoming. Be especially suspicious if someone PM's you instead of answering your thread. Brokers don't want to let other members know how many dogs they are buying, so they aren't eager to answer your threads publicly. Do not believe those who say that they would rather have the dog spayed or neutered through their vet, they can sell the breeding dog for more, or use it themselves. |
