Sounds like a bad site!

Maybe someone ought to get the breeders name and email address to post on here in case someone comes looking for info on this breeder?

Ok, first I have to say....it DID say that it would be a late valentine's present, but I thought it also said they were 4 wks and would be ready to go in a week?? So maybe he just meant late by a couple of days or so? I was hoping he meant late, like he's keeping them longer. I dunno

Truthfully, I can't see how he can be in it for the money if he's selling them for $450! That sounds pretty inexpensive to me....unless of course he's not having dewclaws and tails done. And if he hasn't taken them to the vet at all too, I guess. Hmmm...

I guess it's the part of the country I live in (and the guy in the ad too), but I know LOTS of people who'd trade a dog for a gun! lol Guns are pretty expensive, especially depending on the type. Just a thought

Dana2657 · 02-12-2010, 11:01 AM

Definately a type within the ad she says she will knock off 50.00 off 450.00 if u use your own vet. I had to read this carefully too cause i was gonna go into a state of shock of she really wanted 45,000 bucks..LOL....

He is all about the money! 3 puppies, has no great breeding stock, I doubt he does much testing, if at all! Does no vaccines! $450.00 for a yorkie of this caliber is inexpensive, but he has very little cost in the puppies along with his breeders. If he sells all 3 for $400.00 {with no vaccines} that is $1200.00 for just taking 2 yorkies and having puppies! Room for profit when you breed just to breed!

yorkiejunkie · 02-12-2010, 11:41 AM

Clay has 4 ads posted, all basically the same. 2 mention having the pups to the vet, for tails, and claws.but that is, like at the 3 day mark. A vet can't tell much at that point!
I am Canadian... the gun remark GOT me! lol. What do I know?! lol I am sure they are expensive, and I know lots of guys (I suppose,) that would think a gun for a yorkie would be good! Not MY GUY

He actually responded to my email! This is what he wrote.

"Read you very ownn words and think about this........How the hell can you keep the bloodline going if they don't breed when it is time. I take great care to whom I sell. I interview the perspective buyer and do follow up phone calls to check. As for 12 weeks, that's hogwash. My VET, who knows more than both you and I has cleared. Besides they are llike humans in that Mama knows when to whine them and we DO get their first sjhots or have the new ownerr get the shots and I check on that too. I do your appeciate your bucket of crap advice..
Regards
Clay"

Hummmmmm he say's his vet cleared the puppies, but what vet would clear puppies to be sold without vaccinations and there is the matter of 5 weeks of age?

"hogwash" "whine"......"bucket of crap advice"....Clay sounds like a backwoods hillbilly that isnt taking very kindly to advice.

Adi-and-Missy · 02-12-2010, 12:37 PM

I wrote him back too. Probably a waste of time, but I told him I would gladly give him information on good & reputable breeders so he can find out for himself. I also told him unless his vet specializes in toy breeds/ small breeds, he might just not know. And I also told him that a follow up phone call isn't going to do crap. They're not going to tell him, Hey I'm keeping them in a cage and using them as baby machines.

spiritwings1202 · 02-12-2010, 01:10 PM

I just sent an email to her to see how old they are and how much they weigh and what the cost is. I am curious at the response. I really can't believe that she would let them go at 6 weeks........YIKES

4joy4joy · 02-12-2010, 01:23 PM

How would you know if they were all Yorkie? He told me Dad is AKC mom is not. He did answer my email.

Lots of vets would ok it, remember that vets don't always have breed specific knowledge, and probably don't know the reasons why it's important for yorkies and other small breeds to stay with mommy longer. Many vets and breeders think as long as puppies are weaned, it's ok to take them away from mama. I always shrug when a would-be breeder asks about breeding her dog; they always say, "The vet Okayed it." Usually, the vet is just saying, "Yeah, she has a uterus."

This link has some really great infomation on why it's important for the toy breeds to stay with mama longer. Why do Maltese puppies need to be 12 weeks old before going to a new home??
