Doesn’t this sound like a person that wants to buy your dog as long as there are no health problems? (These are all from my emails and you know I literally gushed over the phone, I was so excited!).

“I would like to have Izzy but I want to know some things about her first.

I am very interested but trying to be sensible too.

It is not that I am having doubts, I am trying to learn a little more about her.

My emotions are HIGH right now and I want her. But I want to do it right and ask questions -- I want to be an informed buyer. I would think you'd expect me to ask a lot of questions and you would know how serious I am because of that.

I can't believe I am doing this -- haven't even gotten dressed yet this morning as all I have thought about is Izzy since I saw your post with her picture. I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon, so I need to get on the ball. I will look forward to hearing from you again. Thanks a million for the pictures -- they are fantastic -- one just as cute as the other! You can manage toget a cute picture from about any yorkie but it is difficult to get so many adorable shots of one pup unless she is a true beauty! I even LOVE her name! It fits her! I found myself practice calling them, "Annie, Izzy, Ben and Candy"

I am in love! Having a time of it trying to be sensible and take my time. If you were local, she'd probably already be in my arms.

And here are all of my unreasonable questions:

Can you send me a copy of your sales contract?

Would you consider having her bile acid tested if she has not been so far?

How is her bite/teeth alignment? Can you give me her dimensions? Hgt/Length/girth?

Can you feel the knees slip in and out of joint when you bend them? Sign of LP.
Were dew claws removed when tail was docked? How are her teeth? Any baby teeth retained? Has she had a dental? Does she have tartar build up? Even though she is not being bought to breed or show, I am still interested in the quality of her breeding and health history. I hope this makes sense and you understand where I am coming from."

I just do not understand at all -- I was not being unreasonable at all. I even got down to the point, I was going to get her as long as I could get 2 answers -- liver shunt and lp/joints? But I never got that much.

I am not trying to get you to change your mind and would have let it go with one post but you made several saying I never said I wanted her and that I made you feel manhandled -- I needed to clear that up. I even told you it was not at all about the money -- it was important that I know things before adding her to my family. That is just plain common sense and CARING about both Izzy and the dogs I already have.
