Darn I threw this thread OT a bit on my part so here's a funny story about getting my Yorkie (well Schnorkie Scoobers).
A friend knew what I was looking for we know each other from Chinchilla rescue.
She emailed me to tell me about a listing of a Yorkie mix that had been found dumped outside the pound in a bag with another designer dog breed puppy.
They were both microchipped but the "breeder" wasn't responding to contacts and they honestly were hoping they wouldn't.
I went online to look at the pic and instantly I knew "she" was the one for us!
She was gorgeous and looked so skinny and sad.
She was listed as black and silver.
Well I went through the process of adoption and the breeder never responded so I go the call we could come get her as soon as she was spayed the following morning. I was given some detailed information about her behavior and the special needs she would require based on her assessment by the behaviorist at the pound.
Didn't care she was perfect we had so many beautiful girly items waiting for her at home everything was pink from the mini kong to the harness to the super frilly dresses to the princess crown bed and feeder.
Well wen drove the 6 hours to get her leaving into a few drop call zones. Just before arrival we got the missed calls.
The adoption coordinator said there was an issue we needed to discuss could I please call her right away.
What could we need to discuss I knew this was a special needs adoption I felt sick thinking something went wrong during the spay????
I decided to go in myself and see before bringing the family in with me.
Well they brought her out-she was was a he!
Scooby is what they were calling her now and I brought the fam in Milo looked at her and said, "she's just a Scoob" noting her small size-about 7 pounds at adoption.
I thought wow what are we going to do and then i looked at this tiny skinny dog with giant deep very alert eye...that's how we got our Scoobers guy who is now a proud 21 pounds!
He rocked pink for the first few months and has truly blossomed!
I'll always prefer males after getting him.
Oh and he wasn't black at all he was just dirty!All that in the pic is misleading he was very re blond and did get some bark brown in his adult coat later.
