Im so mad. I gave munchie back!!!!!!!!

[jeanm1963]

I believe the OP stated in a prior post that Munchie was at the vet with a " little cold" and was staying overnight there!!

I know you no longer have Munchie but us yorkie lovers worry and I know a lot of us were following his story. What did he have and what is his prognosis?

This is what I mean by "reputable" breeder:

Backyard Breeder vs. Reputable Breeder

Total SCAM! I knew I have seen the picture of the cute puppy in the pocket before. I went to TinEye Reverse Image Search and uploaded the pic and it was found in 5 other locations on the net. 5 results - TinEye Its not their pic and they are either a scam or brokers. BEWARE!

The puppies in the link you posted are too young to be sold, not AKC registered, etc. You should expect to spend at least $1,000 for a puppy from a reputable breeder. "Bargain" puppies usually rack up big vet bills over their lifetime, plus usually don't grow up to look much like Yorkies are supposed to.

What what Munchie's diagnosis?

I gotcha (: I agree with everything but the price!

I find it hard to believe that anyone would just give a puppy back for a cold. I hope this is not the case, but if it is then you may want to re-examine your need for a live puppy.

I hope it was nothing serious and Munchie is ok...

Yorkie Puppies - $425.00 / ajcexchange

Sorry you had to return Munchie. What did the breeder say about the situation?

As for the ad, run as fast as you can away from it!!

First the health guarantee is a joke!! You should atleast get a one year health guarantee.

Secondly, I went to their website, they have several breeds of dogs they breed, HUGE RED FLAG!!

I know you want a yorkie to add to your life that you can love but please do the research.

Here are a few things you want to pay attention to....

Health guarantee, 1 year and up is best. Make sure you read it thoroughly and understand it. Many will only give a replacement pup and if you get a sick puppy do you really want another pup from the same person with the possibility of it being sick as well?

Breeds. If they are breeding more than three than I wouldn't go with them as well.

You also will want to see how many breeding adults they have. One person can't possibly care for 30 breeding adults and pups and have them all in great shape.

You also need to go with someone who knows their pedigrees and lines. And it is very important that the parents have been tested prior to breeding for common diseases found in the breed, such as LP and Liver shunt to name a couple.

Age. Letting puppies go to their new homes before 12 weeks is also a red flag. Puppies need that time to be with the siblings and mother to learn the proper socialization skills and such.


If you can, see where the parents and pups are being raised. You don't want to get one from a dirty environment.
This also gives you a chance to see how the puppies interact with their litter mates and other people.

These are just a few essentials you need to look out for when looking for a healthy puppy from a good breeder.


Take your time finding the right puppy, you won't regret it!!

Good luck with your search!!

I agree...perhaps the OP should stick around here and do a bit of reading before getting that next puppy

Nope, you're not alone. IDK...something just isn't passing the sniff test for me. Although she's not online at the moment. Perhaps she'll be better able to give us more detail when she's back on.
