I agree w/all your comments, but that's what my point was......My Friend is not a responsible Backyard Breeder! She has a AKC. female Yorkie that she has Bred twice, to 2 diffferent Parti-Colored Yorkie Males. For some strange reason she wanted a Parti-Colored Female (mixed w/white) she thought she could get more money for the Puppies? She does'nt want to deal w.him b/c he is a Male! He is from her 2nd Litter and I finally convinced her to STOP Breeding since she recently bought a Malti-Poo w/c is 1/2 Maltese and 1/2 Poodle, from a Local Pet Store for $599.00! That solved her White Yorkie Fetish? Now she wants to Breed him to his 1/2 Sister from the First Litter?
She gave him to me b/c she thinks I can provide the Best Home & Training for him. As far as selling him she will accept as low as $600.00 for him and I have to find the Buyer/New Home. She has 2 Yorkies that are 4 and 2 yrs. old that are Mother & Daughter and the Malti-Poo that is only 11 wks. old.
It's very hard to sell him b/c of the Economy, she originally wanted $1,200.00
for him. I took him in b/c I felt Sorry for him and I did'nt think it was FAIR & very Selfish of her! I have had 2 offers/request to "Stud" him out b/c of his size & weight and as far as his markings, he has a big patch of white on his chest and a little white on his paws. He is already turning silver on his head & neck. He just turned 6 months old on August 12th but he is only still 3 lbs.
I love & care for him, just like my other 3! I just felt guilty having 4 Yorkies when there are so many People that don't even have 1! Plus, my first 3 are very low Energy Yorkies and he is more high energy 'Terrier' more like a Tasmanian Devil! I still have no-name......we're still calling Little Boy and I still have'nt Registered him w/ the AKC. either! I keep thinking, I'll meet someone in person while we're out that will fall in Love w/him and will want to buy him? So if that happened I would sell him, but until then I'm the Best thing he's got! You would think I was his Breeder not her......Thanks for letting me vent!
