I ended up with a female anyway). Obviously a breeder wants to know what you are looking for- but they also want to know you are interested in more than price, size, and color. |
I love getting emails like this! It shows respect and knowledge of the breed. It gives a starting point for the adoption process. Even those that haven't had a Yorkie before, should have researched the breed before buying.
I will not answer the one line emails "How much are your puppies?" Or "How much are your females? Or my favorite.. Those that don't know enough about the breed, or colors. "I want a gray and brown teacup, How much?"
Myself, I prefer emails at 1st, then phone calls.
