I want to thank you guys for the kind words. I know I shouldn't stop looking but like I said I am so disappointed. To answer the question on if she is going to keep him i'm not really for sure. She has a picture of him up on her site. I did ask for a picture a while back and she told me didn't take pictures when they are young I guess she changed her mind about me adopting him. I will keep looking, but you know I really thought he would be perfect for me. All of my kids are teenagers so children are not the problem when it comes to getting one. She did say he was small when she e-mailed me about him being born....so I was forewarn on him, I just worried about him living and his health, then I received the e-mail saying he was too small.
Oh well I guess back to the drawing board.

Well, the breeder was me (I think). This little guy only weighs 8 ounces at almost six weeks old. I will keep him for a longggg time to ensure that he doesn't go to his new family with sugar problems or anything else that these tinies can have. I thought I might be saving her some heartache down the road. it is in his best interest to stay right where he is until I can be sure I am not selling some unsuspecting family a new set of problems. i notified Julie when he was born because she had been on my waiting list for awhile and that is what I do so the people on my list know I have babies. there have been people waiting a year or more for one of my babies so I kind of make a 'birth announcement.' usually, the males are so hard to sell because everyone wants girls. Well, I have four beautiful girls and one teeny tiny boy. i didn't mean to hurt Julia at all and i thought she understood my reasoning. Sorry if you guys don't agree with my decision. I have always got to put my puppies best interests first. And yes, I did tell her she could have the puppy on limited for 800. he will certainly not be sold to anyone else. You guys know me and have for a long time and if Julie had looked or even known I was a member here, she would have found tons of good references on me in the breeder review section. I am honest and forthright with my puppies and the 21 or so of you that have my babies on here know that. julie, again i am so sorry you were hurt. if you change your mind and want a girl just let me know.

Well..she doesn't sound like a reliable & responsible breeder anyway..keep researching and get lots of advice..post questions on here if you are not sure of anything..someone on here may recommend a good breeder in your area.
Was wondering..did you already agree on a price for this pup? maybe she realised there are people out there that will pay through the nose for a 'Tiny' yorkie..so maybe she wanted to take her chances and re-advertise him and get a good price for him. Just a thought...Goodluck to you & keep in touch!

Hey Julie, I'm sorry to hear about your disappointment. I myself waited years to convince my husband to get me a yorkie. But everything happens for a good reason, and you WILL find that special baby that's meant to be yours.

As far as the breeder, let's for a moment give her the benefit of the doubt - a friend of mine was on a breeder's waiting list for months, when the puppies (2) were born, she received an email regarding the birth. The mom had 1male & 1female, as my friend was currently at the top of the list, she had first choice, she chose the male. A few weeks later, she was told by the breeder that she could not get the puppy again, as he was very tiny, was not gowing at the same rate as his sister, and that she just wasn't comfortable selling him to a first time yorkie owner. My friend was very upset, so the lady told her to come see her. When my friend went to see her, the breeder showed her the puppy and the adults she had there, she told my friend she has owned and bred yorkies for years, and whenever a puppy showed signs of being 'demanding' healthwise, she learned over the years that it was better to keep them or put them in a home with a more experienced person. Sickly yorkies demand ALOT of attention, care AND money.
This puppy would have been my friend's first dog ever. The breeder even offered to assist her in finding another puppy. I told my friend I respected this woman alot as she definately cared, she had even made a visit to my friend's home prior to accepting her as a potential owner, to see the environment the puppy would be raised in and offer tips on preparing her home.
Some breeders are very particular and rightfully so. So hopefully your breeder is one of the good ones (at least for the dogs sake).

Hi Sugar's Mom. That definitely sounds like a very responsible thing to do. Once again, this proves to me that there are always two sides to every story. I need to go look at the latest photos of your pretty babies again.

Thanks for explaining. :thumbup:

I lost a 5 week old at the drop of the hat from one day her being alittle dehydrated, then went into sugar shock, the small ones can and do need extra care and attention, I will not let any of my little ones go until they are a certain weight and I know they will be okay, they can be healthy and still go into shock and die in a matter of minutes. I will keep them over 6 months if I need to. I am sorry your not getting him, but be thankful she was looking out for the little boy. It takes a lot of time, attention, and love to be a responsible breeder, and sometimes we do not let some go, you really never know what your going to have a birth, the littlest one can become the biggest in 3 weeks, until we know they will be okay then they can go, trust me its not about the money.:)

hi,
I am sorry it did not work out for you. I am not sure what the breeders intentions were when she told you the pup was too small. I would have asked for more of a detailed explaination. She could have had your best interest at heart, and the puppy, Or it could have been something else .
Put the next puppy in writing. Make a agreement and have this documented if you need to wait to have your puppy. . :aimeeyork

I think Julie will be surprised that I am a member here. i have no problem at all selling her a puppy. it sounded like a wonderful home but I just cannot let this little guy go for any amount of money. Thanks for understanding. The litter picture is on my nursery page.

Hi Dee,
You seem like a very responsible breeder and have your pups best interest in mind. I respect you for that. AND you have offered a female pup to the propective owner. Will you be keeping your little tiny guy? AND is it because of his small size that concerns you to let him go? I am just curious. :aimeeyork I saw your pic. of the litter, it is obvious how much more smaller he is compared to his sisters . :aimeeyork
