For Sale and only 5 weeks old!

[megansmomma]

I'm constantly preaching about good breeding practices, responsible pet ownership, choosing a reputable breeder and what does my friend send me this morning? This ad for a puppy for sale that is only 5 weeks old.

Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale: Baby Boy

How could any reputable breeder think to sell a puppy at this age while claiming to be sick. Isn't that the oldest scam in the books? Then to add insult to the description they were hoping to "show" him! What responsible exhibitor would put a puppy up for sale at only 5 weeks old This poor little boy needs to be with his momma until at least 12 weeks old or longer. As a responsible breeder it was my understanding that no matter what happened in your own life (sickness, death, accident, etc.) it is your RESPONSIBILITY to either take care of puppies that you allowed into the world or find another breeder to help you accomplish you duty to momma and the litter she whelped. What is wrong with this picture?


Something is seriously WRONG with this picture! Sounds like a puppymill to me....they also sell Beagle puppies.

This is sad. It doesn't even have teeth at 5 weeks. If you have ever watched the interaction betweenm puppies and their mommas, it would bring tears to your eyes to think of them being separated this young.

You and your friend must not be able to read. Does the ad not say "Deposit to hold"? if it doesn't, let me know. I never let my babies go until they are 11-12 weeks and people on here know that. i don't appreciate your attack one bit and as far as claiming to be sick, I am!!!!! I was carried out of my house on July unconcious from vomitting blood from two stress related ulcers. I have been in the hospital five times since then and two weeks ago had surgery or maybve it was three weeks ago. I ended up in ICE with a blood pressure of 58/32 and 75 percent of my blood gone. I had fluids pumped into me as fast as they could get them, four units of blood and two bags of calcuim. I am still not well and gross as it sounds, I am bleeding from my bowels today and probably will be back in the hospital once agaion by dark or tomorrow . NONE of this is any of your business but I have seen you attack people over and over on here and you had better stop attacking me right now. You ought to be ashamed of yourself!!! Scam my arse!!!!!!!!!

Is it even LEGAL to sell a puppy that is 5 weeks old? Jeanie what would you do with a puppy if you were not able to take care of it due to illness? I'm wondering if breeders have a backup plan to whelps if her claim of sickness is really true.

I have family members that would care for them. IfI did not have family, I would be at the mercy of my breeder friends. But I wold not sell them.

I had not told anyone on here about my illness except Wylie's mom and she doesn't even know all the details. I don't post on here anymore or have anything to do with anyone on here. My family and getting well is the most important thing in my life and when you have come as close to dying as I did, all this stuff on here means nothing but I am still appalled you would attack me like you did without knowing the facts and it is a shame I always have to post my personal stuff on here. Also excuse my typos please. I was very very upset when I read your post.

Thank you. I am just in tears now. Your apology is accepted and appreciated.

Dee, perhaps you could edit your ad to let any potential buyer know that the puppy will not leave until he is 11-12 weeks old? I have reread the ad several times and it is very misleading since that information is missing. I'm sure it will also cut down on phone calls from people who want to pick up a puppy at only 6 weeks and spare you having to deal with them.

Ummm.....I did not "attack" you but you sure are defensive! I'm sorry that you are ill but that still doesn't mean that you can sell puppies at 5 weeks old.

When my unknowing friend saw your ad that referred to Champion
bloodlines include several world famous lines.
Crystal Waters, Durrer, SQUIRREL, Crosswinds

she was very excited and wanted to jump at the chance of having a champion sired puppy. If you were planning on selling him "on hold" as you say it should have been made VERY CLEAR in your ad with it was not.

As for not selling on YT any longer, why would that be? I would think that you would have come here first for help. Not only that but YHR did help a breeder last year who was ill and needed a rescue for her female that was ready to have puppies. She surrendered her to the rescue a day after whelping because she was ill and not able to take care of them never once thinking about her profit. The only consideration that she had was the welfare of her dogs.

Prayers are going out to you for a speedy recovery. I'm so very sorry to hear what your going through.
