2 Years ago i purchased a yorkie from a breeder who turned out just beautiful although her legs were a little long. 1 year ago i called and inquired about a male he had and he said it had been sold but he had a female that was due and he would put me on a list and i would get first choice. When the litter was born he e-mailed me and said she had three boys and i needed to send him a deposit and he would let me know when they were ready to go. I didn't hear from him in some time so i e-mailed inquiring as to when i could pick up my little boy but he told me he had a heart condition and he had recieved the other two buyers deposit first so i wouldn't be able to get a pup at this time but that he had another female due in a couple of weeks and i would get first choice since i already had my deposit in.

This time the female had one male. He emailed me pictures and said it would he would let me know when it would be ready to go. Last Monday he told me this was the smallest male he ever had. On Friday he said the pup would be ready this week but that he had an elderly lady interested and to let him know if i was still interested. I told him i was and would be ready to pick up this week. He emailed me yesterday and said he was ready and i could pick him up. Late last night i get an e-mail saying he was in a delima and this other lady had been waiting a year also and he wanted me to wait for his next litter. He said he would refund me my deposit if i didn't want to wait.
These pups are really nice quality show quality i feel and i wanted to get into to showing but show breeders (i find) won't sell to others not in the business.

Why would anyone make me wait again? Think he has been offered more money?
