I think the following rule change is a little harsh. However, I am an avid reader of all threads and see why you felt the need to make it. BUT, I think most of us would like to know that our puppies are sold and going to good YT members homes when they are twelve weeks or older. I don't have any problem at all with keeping them until at least that age (plan to do that anyway) but to say we can't even advertise or take deposits until they are ten weeks old isunfair in my opinion. Why not let us advertise them and put a disclaimer at the bottom of our post saying "these puppies will not be ready to go until twelve weeks." I had worked up my nerve to put mine on here LOL. That does take nerve but now I guess I will advertise them in local papers. I had really wanted them to go to YT members but don't like that I can't even advertise them until ten weeks. it takes a long time sometimes to sell them after we advertise them.

Yorkies may NOT BE LISTED until the actual Yorkies for sale are 10 weeks or older. If they are not yet 10 weeks old, we will not allow them to be listed for sale here. There are no exceptions to this rule, so no threads accepting deposits for Yorkies younger than 10 weeks are allowed.
