I went down to that place myself instead of cancelling. I didn't bring the wife. The two folks I met were actually quite nice and they brought out several different puppies. The one she wanted to sell me ($800) must have been the most high strung dog I had ever seen. I'm pretty sure Yorkies aren't supposed to be wild and chew on everything, right?
The 2nd one she showed me ($1,000) I fell in love with. Was very cute, cuddly, wasn't going wild, etc. It took everything I had to not take her with me. I asked her why the wild price difference between her pups and others in the market, and she said it had to do with size and looks. She said she had a $3,000 pup she could show me, which I promptly wanted to see out of curiosity. It was immediately apparent what a difference the dog she brought out was. It looked like a living teddy bear. He was a sight to behold. lol But in the end, I did leave empty handed from the advice provided on these forums.
Since then I've contacted multiple people from the lists provided here and have had a couple respond. Most do not have any pups for sale or have boys. I was instructed by a super nice lady who has been e-mailing me to not discount the boys as they can actually make better pets. So we may decide on a boy if the girl proves difficult to attain.
Thank you again for everyone's advice, and hopefully we will find our precious pup someday. |
