Puppy Update #2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Waytoomuch · 12-09-2009, 10:23 PM

Sophie is a super mom. The puppies will be 7 week this Sunday. They are doing so awesome. There are now eating and not nursing all that much . I think Sophie is done with that but she loves to play with them so they try to nurse. I am now in processes to find them forever homes. I would love your tips on this. I just do not want the babies I have loved do to just anyone. I am also wondering how to ask a price for them? Sophie is a Yorkie-poo and Daddy is a Full Yorkie . They had there tails Docked shots. I live in OKlahoma LOL If that matters. We started out doing this so we could keep one but had no clue how much money it would cost and the 100% of time your busy with them. But saying that I would never take it back.

Here is a photo last week

First of all, they shouldn't leave until they are 12 weeks old and have had 2 sets of shots. I'm not sure what price to put on them because they are not full blooded, and I don't know your area. They are cute though.

I understand that but I do not want to rush into finding someone. They are my babies.

I screen every caller, Who is the pup for, I ask if they will be alone or is someone their, I do not sell to someone leaving them in a cage all day. Cruel. And yorkies need attention, You can tell on the phone what kind of person you are talking to, some are kooks, some are kids, some are just inquireing, some are just plan interested and can not wait to see them. Those are the ones you want to let see the pups. When they get to your home you can tell alot by looking at them. I can. I work with the public though. If I have an uneasy feeling about them I will not sell to them. I keep in touch with everyone I sold a pup to via email and they all write back and send pics. Mixed will not pull as much but around my house they sell for $300-$400 females and $200-$250 males. Best of luck.

Not sure about your area so can't offer any ideas on price. On the puppies I sold, they went to people I knew and I'm so incredibly grateful that they found good homes and not only that - I get to see them at least monthly!

I can understand how you feel - it's easy to get attached to them, isn't it? I agree that I wouldn't let them go before 12 weeks and just screen the people as best as you can. You could go to some yorkie breeder sites and get a feel for the questions they ask and then modify it to fit your needs. Good luck!
