I thank you for your concern in the message below:

So you import Yorkies only to turn around and sell them? I don't get it.
Or is it that you bought her intending to add to your breeding program and you feel she will be too petite?

I would like to make it clear I DO NOT import dogs for resale!

I have had this little girl for five months watching her grow and weighing her and hoping against all hope she would have a growth sprit and I was wrong about her size. I know some people do not consider this too small or breeding. I see breeders proudly advertising 2 pound babies, will stay small, tiny tiny yorkies and so on.....I can not do this. I can not breed a dog this size. Once bred and you have puppies then what? The puppies are shipped to the new homes? Shipping a puppy that size scares me to death and I could not and would not do it. If you notice it even says on this ad that I will NOT ship this little girl. The reason??? Her size!!! I know we all love our babies and can be very opinionated over certain things about these little darlings. I am guilty of that too. I don't want this thread to turn ugly. I realize you don't know me so that is why the question was asked. I can appreciate that. We must all take a stand against puppy mills and brokers that only have their pocketbook in mind when they see or buy a puppy. I assure you this is not the case here. I still own my original yorkie that is over 10 years old now, I used to breed them but I also own her daughter and her daughters son and daughter. Do you see a pattern here? I fell in love with the Biewer Yorkies from Germany and am beginning a very small breeding program if I can overcome the desire to keep everything I bred and see. I had no idea she was as small as she is when I purchased her. I have learned a lot about looking at pictures when that is all you have available to make a decision on buying a puppy. This little girl is small and is picked on by my bigger/older dogs because of her size. Though it breaks my heart to sell her I felt it was the best decision FOR HER. She is very very sweet and very laid back which I think is why my other dogs like to torment her. They are just playing and not aggressive but it really is not fair to her. I am looking for the perfect home for her, a place she will be maybe only one of two in a family and she can relax and enjoy life and be spoiled rotten! I have a list of questions that will need to be answered before this baby will leave my care. I do take this very seriously and am willing to provide my vets information to anyone wanting to know about me and how I care for my dogs!

Again I thank you for your concern and for giving me this opportunity to tell you a little about myself. I hope this helps you understand my motives!
