I would definitely go and see these little boys.

$285 ??? Sometimes there just aren't a lot of people in a given area looking for a certain breed. I know a woman who priced her pups simply by looking in the paper and seeing what her particular breed was selling for (which is totally fair) ...

Then she advertised in her small town newspaper and got no calls. So, she advertised in a nearby larger paper and still got no replies.

Finally, she advertised in my much larger town's newspaper, and she said she got about 12 calls before noon. And - the first call purchased the pup. Plus, they drove 200 miles to see and purchase it. She said they were just totally delighted with the puppy (they were an older couple who wanted a little dog to travel all over the United States with them in their motor home -- how sweet!!!!)

PS: She was selling a "small" male, registered Yorkie (parents were about 5 pounds) for $850. I think this was a good price.

***** So - realizing how "selling puppies" can sometimes go - I would run out and take a look.

Good luck! Carol Jean
