| Yikes! Your right way to many red flags. I'm certain they were hiding something, other wise why the parking lot in the first place

| I hope I'm wrong and they're just people with poor judgement, but it just makes me fear that the yorkie they were trying to sell is one that is missing from some poor family. Stolen (or found and not returned) yorkies are often sold.

| This does not sound good at all....and 575 for a Yorkie is cheap, there has to be something wrong........If It were me I would walk the other way. |

| you guys are really harsh and judgmental 575 is cheap and probably no papers but unhealthy,stolen,etc...... and really if you are paying that cheap of a price don't expect papers but you should expect health.if they are uncomfortable I would ask for a vet # to check on health and atleast get a pic with the parents maybe some thing with your name.just don't jump the gun because at that price you (KNOW ITS NOT A SHOW BREEDER SELLING IT) I know a few people that do not want people to come to their home because of the weirdos out there do you remember the people that got robbed when them let potential buyers come to their home. AN 11 wk old yorkie missing.well he didn't deserve the original family in the first place if that is WHAT HAPPENED ANYWAY. my FRIEND BOUGHT A YORKIE FROM ALADY FOR 500 AND TO THIS DAY IS THE PICTURE OF 4LBS OF HEALTH. (IF YOUR BUDGET DOES NOT ALLOW FOR A REPUTABLE BREEDER THEN MAYBE GO TO THE VET WITH THEM TO HAVE HIM CHECKED OUT. ALSO REPUTABLE BREEDERS HAVE SOLD PUPS THAT WERE SICK AND DIED(WHETHER THEY REFUNDED THE MONEY OR NOT) YOU NEVER ALWAYS KNOW.

| I agree with what everyone has said. When I was looking for my new puppy around a week ago, I spoke to one man and he couldn't tell me how big the parents were, their color, and it was CKC registered. I finally found the perfect one, but my mom paid $1,500 for her. Beware of backyard breeders, you may spend a little more on the pup now, but you'll save it in the end with vet bills. |

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | I understand the not wanting to have strangers come to your home; but at the same time I think parking lots are not the ideal place to show a puppy. Where was the shot record, the pedigree, and pictures of the parents??? And while sometimes we are too trusting, the dog could have been stolen or sick.... I think you did a good job recognizing the red flags and walking away. |
