Truth is she doesn't know how to act around dogs...Big dogs scare her..she'll start crying. I don't really know anybody that owns little dogs... so we'll see

OH and to mention he tells me that his yorkie is FULL BREED but has no papers to prove it. I mean...the dog does look like a full breed so I'm not to worried.....But I usually like to have the papers just for myself I guess. And another thing about that is ..... Libbie has FULL AKC papers and if I do decided to show her (which I'm still looking into) I don't want them to accidently have babies. . . . . I dont know what to do?!
But I know I DO want him!

My last piece of advice....do not go alone to meet this person.

I would also ask to see his vet records.

You can have libbie evaluated to determine if she's show quality...and if you get the male...have him neutered.

Peeked at your album...how old is Libbie and what she weigh? If she doesn't reach 5 pounds...she won't be large enough to show.

Well, he's really adorable, and for the price, he's quite the "steal".

And if you really want him, just get him neutered, and there's no risk of an accidental breeding.

Good Luck!

Great advice. Can't wait to see if you got him. I hope you take someone with you and are very careful. Weirdos out there for sure.

definitely ask for vet records. You wouldn't want to get your hands on a stolen Yorkie!

You have to be careful how you introduce them. For sure on neutral territory. Sometimes it takes time for them to adjust to each other.

Oh Yes for sure, My BF agreed to go with me already.

I have been told that Libbie is a extremly tiny dog...she weight only 1lb 2oz at 9 weeks and at 13 weeks for some reason when I took her in for a vet visit they said she weight the same? Maybe because I had her eat before we went to the first visit and the second one I went right after work so I don't know if she ate or not. She is now 16 weeks and I'm SURE she grew. She feels heavier and like the BF says..she can almost lick his face when shes on his lap...before she couldn't . But if she's not big enough to show...its okay. I'll still love her reguardless. She's my first and only yorkie. And for sure if she does not reach 5lbs I'm going to get her spayed. But I guess we'll just wait and see....

and I'll keep everybody posted on the male dog! Lets hope everything goes well

((fingers cross))

so cute! i would definitely have your dog meet him first and see how they interact. it will be nice for your puppy to have someone to hang out with when you are not home.

and just something to consider because you don't want to put yourself in a bad situation. make sure that you will be financially ok taking care of two dogs if the dogs need emergency care or something expensive. i am just saying that because i have read a few posts recently about people having trouble paying for vet bills and wanted to remind you to consider this as well.

good luck, i hope he gets along with your baby!

[LibbieLu08]

BF couldn't come with me yesterday to go see the male yorkie... hopefully he can go with me today! I'll keep you guys posted!

[danyellm]

He is super cute and he is still young enough to be a good playmate for Libby,id have him neutered if hes not already ,papers dont really matter much unless your breeding or showing him .Now im following your thread and hopefully he will be a perfect match for your family.

Did you get him?
