| how should i tell this one breeder that i don't wanna buy her puppy anymore? Hi Everyone, Please give you your advice. In the past month, I have narrowed down my Yorkie search to TWO breeders. I have solidly chosen one breeder (after much thought), but feel like I've gotten in too deep with the other breeder. How should I tell her that I am no longer interested in her Yorkie? Look forward to your responses, D |

| I would say honesty is the best policy. Who knows, down the road you just may want one of her puppies. |

You're right. I might eventually want another Yorkie from her one day. Very good point. I wanna be careful with my words. Do you think I should say, "I have decided to negotiate with another breeder?" Should I give her a reason? (The breeder I've chosen to go with is actually selling her pups for more and also provides lifetime breeder support [including grooming]. She is also very personable. We enjoy hearing from each other.) | |

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | Hi! I'm a breeder and I would want to know as soon as possible, and I think just an honest "I've found another puppy that better suits me" would be good I'm sure they'd rather know now, rather than be thinking the puppy is sold. I'm sure they will understand!!! Good luck in your puppy search!!!! |

| Here is what I've sent: "XXXXXXXX, Thank you so much for your time and advice, but I have recently found another Yorkie that better suits me; still from a reputable breeder such as yourself. It is probably better that you haven't yet sent pictures - I would have gotten too attached! But it's better that I inform you now, that I decline from my previous inquiry. Thank you again and good luck with the little boys, Dani" Do you think it's good? |

| I agree just be honest and let her know you're not interested at this point in time.

| The breeder replied. I am relieved! She said 'no problem' and that it's better since the puppies were turning out to be show quality and was thinking they would be better off in a show home. Show quality puppies! Bye bye! Now, I feel stress-free! Thank you for everyone's help! |
