I would definitely take heed from the professionals who posted before me, as I am not one of them but feel they have given great advice. They certainly know what they are talking about from experience. I know the feeling of getting attached to puppies very easy, but please think twice before getting this pup... it is in your best interest. This may, and most probably will, cost you way more than the initial $800. I am not trying to talk you out of owning a Yorkie, as they are a very sweet breed, but asking that you take the time to get one from a respectable breeder, who will open their door to you so that you can see the conditions of where your pup is coming from. In your shoes, after what I wrote, I would feel let down thinking I couldn't own this pup, but I would also think - I would be the one paying the bills. Some of the best things are worth waiting for. Please do more homework before going through with this. Wishing you all the very best in your decision! |
Agree 100% with all the above. No house visits, numerous family members dealing with puppies and no papers (they aren't all that expensive). I know that all you have to do is see that little one and you are hooked. Please be careful as the medical issues can be overwhelming and heart breaking. These are very delicate dogs and are subject to all sorts of genetic illnesses. Read some of the threads on this forum and see what others are dealing with. This breed is delightful and I wouldn't want any other but beware
