yes you are the one that said teacup and at your website in the morkie section advertising them as rare coloring, (NOT). You were called on it because everyone knows better than that not including the shameless link you threw in. We know what to look out for. I'm sorry, but we're pretty educated around here. Here is a link by the administration of this site you should look at. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64153 There are alot of newbies that may not know the selling ploys to make money, those buzz words many including you are using. BTW If you're trying to help and not be a person of greed, don't post your website. Sorry Dani23d I'll hush, back on topic. Best wishes to you. |

I think it's fine to put a deposit on the puppy now as long as there is a written receipt or contract stating that you'll get the deposit back if the puppy dies or develops some type of health problem before leaving the breeder. Most breeder will refund the deposit or replace the puppy if something happens to the original one while in their care. Being that much smaller than the rest of the litter though - be prepared that something might happen to him. I know someone who had a litter a year ago - 2 girls and one boy. One of the little girls was so much smaller than the other two and stayed a lot smaller. She never opened her eyes and needed special care and had to be bottle fed in between feedings from the mother. At three weeks she passed away. She was just too small and something was wrong with her. So just be prepared that something can happen and make sure the breeder has a policy to refund your deposit if it does. I hope everything goes well |

very well said!!!! |
hey guys. my main concern is to find a healthy male yorkie. i guess it'll come down to the condition he's living in and if he is socialized. i'll know when i meet the breeder of my choice whether they will be faithful and dependable. i know the definitions of backyard/puppy mill, etc. and i know there is 'no such thing' as a teacup yorkie. size is really not a factor for me. yorkies are small in general. it's not like i'm looking for a sheep dog LOL it's nice to see the committment of everyone and to read your opinions. i am completely unbiased and i thank each and every one of you for your support. no enemy-making, please! i love you all like a family. so back to the subject at hand; ***UPDATE*** the current breeder i am speaking with says she already has two deposits on the other males. therefore, im "stuck" with the xsmall one. all i can say is, im going to keep my faith in the little puppy, keep track of his health, and pray that he is as healthy as the rest of the litter. i don't just want to oust him because he's the runt. all of them should be loved equally. i guess i will have to wait until november to visit him (no one can visit the pups until they get their shots). so for now, keep helping me find other reputable breeders, because a Plan B might come handy if this little guy doesn't turn out as healthy as we all pray he will be. thanks! http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97118 |
In my opinion I would not put a deposit on a puppy that was that tiny and that young. I would wait until the puppy has had it's first vet visit so you know whether it is even healthy or not. Also, you dont even know what this puppy is going to look like. It you are paying that kind of money, I would wait until you get a better idea of what the puppy is going to look like, it's health and its temprement to make sure it is the right puppy for you. Dont let the breeder try to make you rush into any decisions. It you dont get that puppy, there are many more to choose from and it wasnt meant to be. I dont think I would trust a breeder that took a deposit on a puppy that weighs not even 2 oz. It is too iffy. Take your time and make the decision that feels right. If there are red flags and you have to ask if you are doing the right thing and you are unsure, then it might not be the right decision after all. |
Deposit on Tiniest of the litter Quote:

I'm just now reading this thread. Please do not feel pressured into ever making a deposit on a puppy. There are so many more puppies out there; you should not have to commit within the 1st week to the runt of the litter. There are so many chances that the health of this puppy could be compromised. I had a large litter of Biewer puppies in July, the smallest was 2.5#. I see so many red flags. |
Excuse me but, I'm not replying to a rude and hateful pm in private (this is suppose to be from a nice reputable breeder), I will take it right here. I believe you called me a rude and hateful person in your me. Fancy: If you ever in your lifetime pm me once again, You and I are going to have serious problems. You sure don't know me. I'm pretty sure the OP may have moved on, maybe not. Please don't give me any "play nice ladies". I'm passionate about the breed and YT and will not sit idly while someone like this to come in and try to pawn their teacup yorkie and rare golden morkie "stuff" to impressional newbies whether it be the OP or lurkers. Please carry on, |

I have to agree with the other breeders. I not only don't take deposits early but I don't allow the pups to be viewed until they've had their first set of shots. I evaluate at 8 weeks of age to see if I have a possible show potential and than I advertise. There's no reason to let someone's heart get set on a dog that may not turn out to be what they want and at birth is definitely too young to be able to tell. |
Hey, everyone. So I just called the breeder. She clarified that the pup was 1 ounce at birth. At 12 days old, he is now 5 ounces. Anyone want to give me some feedback on this? Is this too much of a rapid increase? I'm sure we have to take into account that he is being bottle fed in between feedings, to make sure he catches up to the rest of the puppies. The rich fat in the momma's milk must be a lot for him, but I'm not sure if this is still quite abnormal for a two-week old. Feedback is appreciated. Thank you.:confused: |
This is normal for a puppy to gain weight during the first days . It would be abnormal if he was loosing some . |
I looked at a puppy weight chart and it said that a Yorkie at 2 weeks should weight around 5 ounces. But for this puppy to gain 4 ounces in the matter of two weeks worries me. The weight chart says that pups should gain about 1 ounce per week. I wonder if he will gain a lot again by next week. You guys might be right - he might end up being the largest of the litter...sheesh! |

Is there something you're not worry about ? |
I don't take deposits until my pups are about 6wks and have been vet checked and I can tell more about them. Then I can price them. It's still early at 6 wks to know for sure what they will turn out like, but you have a much better idea. You will have no idea at such a young age about looks, temperment, health , etc. I see no reason why buyer would put a deposit down on such a young pup unless they have been waiting for a certain line for their breeding program, showing etc. ( even then it's a crap shoot) |
