Upset
 

:(Okay guys I know you haven't heard from me in some time. I have researched so much and was waiting on my new little guy. Then I received a e-mail a few weeks back that he was born, then last week I received another one stating he would not be sold to me because he was too small. Now I am back to nothing. I am so upset, why even tell me he was born if I was not going to get him. I'm not upset at the breeder, but I am so upset at being told....does this make sense? I have waited 15 years for a yorkie (husband kicked against it for this long) and I thought I would finally get one. Now I probably will have to wait again or not even get one. This sucks for me.

Hey Julie,
I don't know why the breeder did that. But look on the bright side you really don't have to wait or resign yourself to not getting a Yorkie. Go check out the Yorkies for sale section and there are alot for sale.

Hey, its okay. It just wasnt meant to be for some reason. I have been waiting for a long time as well, and have spent many hours doing research on trying to find the right breeder for the right puppy for me. Dont worry the time will come and the perfect puppy will fall into your arm! :p

Yes.. please do. Yorkies are just such special little angels. You will be so glad you did. There are so many little ones for sale right now.. and a lot of little ones just born.. Please don't be discouraged about that breeder.. there are so many loving, caring, great breeders on this site. You will have a lot of baby angels to choose from. And you know, if you get it from a fellow YT person, they will be great little dogs... and you can get pictures right away.

I know you must be so disappointed. Maybe that little guy just wasn't meant to be for some reason. You will find the perfect boy, don't give up!:)

Does that mean SHE is going to keep him?
With good guidance and extra special care most people can take good care of a little one..do you have young children? some breeders are cautious of little ones going to families with young children. My breeder sold Pixie to me as she was going to be too small to show or breed(she's just under 3lbs at 13 months)..she said to me she didn't let her yokies go to people with very young children..Pixie is hard work and takes up most of my time (but of course, she is my life!)..I watch her like a hawk around the house and garden and i'm extra cautious when out in public with her..too many hazards.. from over excited children to other dogs..you have to be super vigilant:eek:..these tinies are extremely vulnerable! I'm so very sorry for you, I can imagine your disappointment..but if you keep looking and with help from your YT friends..i'm pretty sure you will very soon find the yorkie for you..please try not feel so disheartened.;)

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..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!

Yes because I wanted a pet puppy and stated his registration papers did not have to come with him, she said she would sell me a male for $800 and he had to be neutered which was not a problem for me. I did think of this also, since I recently saw a "tiny" yorkie up for sale for $10,000 with the lowest being $3500. I would hope this was not the case for her, she seemed really nice.

Yikes! I would hate what she just said to be true, but to be honest, I wondered myself.

There are some wonderful breeders right here on YT, really. Check them out. :)

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).

That is a responsible breeder..:thumbup:

$10,000!!!:eek: your kidding me!!!!
you should keep an eye on her website (does she have one?) see if she re-advertises this pup..
don't worry..there will be other puppies..you will soon have that baby to cuddle;)

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.

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

Here is the website Dee's Lil' Yorkshire Terriers | Formerly Dee's Lil' Yorkies and this puppy has never been advertised. I have a girl on there now and that is the first puppy advertised in a very long time.

There is no picture of him on my website. There is a little girl for sale on there and then on my nursery page, I have a picture of the whole litter.

You asked for a picture when he was only a few days old and usually i don't take pictures (individual) at that time Julie because you can't tell what they are going to look like. i usually take individual pictures when I get ready to take deposits only. To me, all babies look alike . You have misunderstood everything and again, I am so sorry.

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:

Thanks

Thanks

Well I can tell you Dee is a responsible breeder and she was doing the only thing a good breeder would do. 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.:)

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.

Thanks

i do not sign contracts with people on the waiting lists . so many people have changed their minds by the time you get down to their name or have found a puppy elsewhere.

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

OH!!!! my apologies to you Sugarsmom!!!:eek: This has shown me too that there are 2 sides to every story!! I just get soooo suspicious of breeders now with all the stories i have read on here!:rolleyes: obviously I don't know you personally..but you seem to be well known and respected on here as a breeder and for that i apologise again! I felt so sorry for this poster as she seemed so disappointed. oooooooooh I feel sooooo silly now!:(

I am sorry you are upset but any responsible breeder like Dee will not let any puppy go being that small. I am sure you will find your little man when the right time goes...I searched for 2 years for my 2nd yorkie...and when i found him i knew he was the one...and look at me now I have 4 yorkie...so don't give up...look in the for sale ad...or on petfinder.com if you would like to rescue..there are some real cuties on there...

yes, it is his size. IF I sell him, he is going to have to make it to two pounds at least and at the rate he is going that coujld be a very long time. The difference bnow between him and his sisters is amazing. he is about the same as he was in that picture. I am scared to go off from home for more than a couple of hours. We have a family reunion this weekend on saturday and will be gone about seven hours. i will probably stay at home because I am trying to wean them. I am scared to death he will go down on me. Thanks

Acutally, i didn't offer her a female at the time because she had her heart set on a male.
