First of all I want to apologize for this being so long. I felt that I needed to tell the whole story!

I posted an ad a few months ago trying to re-home 2 male pups, Milo & Tucker. I made it clear in the ad that I was not selling them to be bred and that I was looking for someone to give them a great forever and loving home.

Fast forward to today. I ended up getting Milo and Tucker neutered so that whoever I placed them with wouldn't use them for breeding. I have placed Tucker with a friend of my moms and Milo is going to a close friend around the first of the month.

ANYWAYS I get a reply to the ad. {I thought I deleted it as I became to attached to them both and decided they weren't going anywhere until I had them neutered and was ready to let them go.}

Here is the inquiry:

"I have been looking for a reasonably price AKC male yorkie that will be close to 2 lbs when full grown. I have a really little female, Lexie, that weighs 2.5 lbs and would like a playmate for her with the potential to maybe have babies in the future. Would Milo or Tucker be closer to 2 lbs or 3 lbs when grown in your honest opinion? I so very interested, Trish"

My reply: "First of all the fact that you would risk your 2.5 little girls life says a lot about you. Milo is 3lbs now and Tucker is 4lbs. They are 10 months old. They have both been neutered as I was not sending them to homes to be used as a piece of meat. Tucker is happy in his new home and Milo is going to his soon"

and here is her response that drives me absolutely INSANE!

"You know what, you are very presumptuous and very rude. You don't know me. I know that if a little half ounce field mouse can mate with another half ounce field mouse and have really tiny field mice babies. Why can't a 2.5 lb female yorkie mate with a 1.5-2 lb male yorkie and have minuscule babies? Just seems natural to me. All of Gods creatures are made to re-produce as long as common sense is used with regards to the size of the partners. Again, you were un-necessarily rude.

P.S. in the future you should respond to your ads as if we don't know any better. You are the expert, teach us better, don't be-little someone that doesn't have the experience you have."

Sure, my first response may have been hateful but I made it clear in the ad that I wasn't looking for them to be bred! I don't even know what to reply and say! How can she compare breeding small Yorkies to breeding field mice? I seriously am amazed that people can be so backwards!
