Maybe she will still have them for sale in 2 weeks and will come down on her prices? I see, by checking her other ads by the link at the bottom of the page, that she is "selling out" of a number of breeds. I would say HUGE PUPPY MILL just from the amount of breeds she has and she says she's getting out of breeding dogs.

As you probably know, the economy here in Wichita is TERRIBLE with all the laid off aircraft workers. I think the layoffs here have topped 10,000 now. So many people out of work. I would guess there isn't a huge market for $1200 puppies in this area.

I would love for a YT person to come get them and give them a chance!!! Someone who knows and loves the breed and isn't just looking to breed them.

I hate pics of puppies on a scale...they're not a piece of meat.

She has 2 pups for sale. One male (picture) & one female. oops...hope this doesn't count as stealing pic!

She has the price at the top of the page. It says 12 ounce Yorkie 1200.00. I saw one similar that was for 10.000 on another website. I know one thing, I wouldn't want him. He is too small to even be let down. He would need to be carried to prevent someone from not seeing him at being only one pound.

Have you guys ever wondered about these BYB that may be advertising a younger puppy just to sell it claiming that it only weighs one pound when actually after growing up, it will weigh more? I think that goes on quite a bit. For example, this puppy may be only be 6 or 8 weeks old but she is advertising it to be 16 weeks.

I have never in my life saw a grown dog to weigh one pound. Have any of you?

Oh you are totally right. It happens all the time. I don't know how many of my customers who were undereducated that said to me "well she was supposed to be a teacup". Oh I just cringe.

My breeder on the other hand, was a bit scatterbrained. She said Uni was 8 wks when we first looked at her, but once I seen her paperwork she was actually 12. Which was great, I got to get her right away.

But , uh noooo, I have never seen a dog less than 1 pound. Sad really. Hope he is going to be ok.
