That should never be necessary for any breeder to have to 'go to' the customer. If they don't call or e-mail you regularly, then assume that they are not really that interested and go elsewhere immediately!

I agree.

Its been hard to get a committment on a pick up date from the couple, they seemed to have alot going on, and I have made all the calls. Im used to people calling and asking about their puppy but they never have.
Finally I contacted them and told we needed to set up her going home date and they called back two days later, I was already thinking I wanted to not release to them. But they called earlier this week and set up to come today no later then noon they told me. Its about a 4-4 1/2 hr drive for them. I called at 11 am today to see where they were and they hadnt even left yet. They said they would be leaving within the hour they were waiting for a phone call. I wasnt real happy about any of it but I said okay. They had never even bothered to call and say they would be running late. Well at 3 pm I called to see how far in route they were and they still were at home!!!!!!
I was told "they were shorted on a paycheck and the boss and hadnt called back" They never even called me again! I asked them what they had bought so far to prepare for the puppy and they hadnt even bought dogfood!I told them to forget it today I had other things to do, Ill call later. They said dont sell the dog to anyone else, we will call next week with some plans.......??????? I just said we will talk about it later and hung up.
Im not going to let my babygirl go with them. I wouldnt be able to sleep at night, I just have a terrible feeling about it, after today it sealed it for me for sure.
Should I keep a portion of their deposit or should I just return the whole thing and be happy I didnt send my puppy there. Im the one who has changed my mind.

If they havent even bought food for the baby, they probably havent bought anything for her. I'm pretty sure they have have enough time to prepare for the "big day" ... to put up a "puppy nursery" i'm sure anyone of us, live to the day we can bring them home, and have everything set out for them.
I would NOT let her go to them, give them their deposit back, for your own peace of mind.
If i were you, i wouldnt even bother to call them, just send the check back to them, and be done.

Good luck.

This little girl is CKC (continental kennel club registered)
SHe is a great pet prospect but I just took pictures to show the puppy I was talking about, she doesnt qualify for the show ring for AKC.

luvdorkyyorkies · 01-21-2007, 02:14 PM

Well I looked for the John Travolta disco fever yorkie in the smilies but this was the closest one I could find.

Ha ha!
Anyway glad you like her. SHe thanks you all for good advice. And so do I!
Well off to fix the family dinner.

yorkiegirl83 · 01-22-2007, 10:24 PM

She is SO cute! The person that gets to call her their fur kid will be a VERY lucky one!

girdygirl · 01-28-2007, 06:12 PM

so how did it go? Did the people get mad because you decided not to sell?

luvdorkyyorkies · 01-29-2007, 05:41 AM

Im very happy to report this little lady went home with a terrific older couple who will adore her. Their yorkie had passed a year ago and they were ready to welcome a new puppy now.
I feel very good about this home.

Well about the people who I changed my mind about, Im yet to ever hear from them. The last phone call I made to them the day they were supposed to come get little girl and I had waited hours, they said they would call the first of the week about getting her. A week has passed and I have never heard from them again. ???????
They sent their deposit Western Union, which is the way they wanted to send it. I never use western union but thats the way they wanted to deposit. I dont have an address for them. I do have a phone number.
I thought , well I decided to wait for them to call like they said they would and tell them then I couldnt go thru with the exchange and get their address and send back their deposit.
No phone call. No email. SO I still have their deposit. If they call Ill still send it back.
I guess I have a little bitty attitude about this.

i am so glad she found a great home, about the deposit, under the circumstances, it would go in MY pocket. You have gone above and beyond the call of duty in this case. keep the deposit. you owe them nothing. You have gone tru a lot of time and trouble fooling with them.

luvdorkyyorkies · 01-29-2007, 10:08 AM

Yes Im so glad about her placement!! Her name is Fiona now.

I wanted to see if the previous people would call on their own. Nothing so far. If they call I would still send back the deposit. Very strange.

Zeus' Mom · 01-29-2007, 10:15 AM

That is wonderful!! So glad little Fiona found a great forever home!
