Would you pay for him? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Ugh! Well I blew it then. I already left him a message and said this one had a tail. Shoot! In the stolen dog owners ad, it had two pics. One up close face shot, and one full body shot. In the full body shot, it definitely shows more than just the tiny nub but possibly not as much tail as the one I saw. It's hard to tell in pics. Let me see if I can post both...

Oops! I wouldn't worry too much about it since you don't even have him. I would love to see pictures of both. It really is hard to tell from a picture to compare. Where did you see the ad for him and for the one that is lost?

Clearly I don't know what I'm doing posting pics but the middle two are the dog I went to visit. In person, the faces are amazingly similar. His hair has been cut short so all his silver is showing but you can see, the missing dog is silver under his long black coat. You can't see the tail in the the one I visited very well but it's sort of tucked there next to him in the pic but you can see the missing dog DOES have a bit of a tail.

They definitely do have similarities!! Keep us posted on what you find out!

megansmomma · 05-21-2010, 08:39 AM

You can see in the first picture of the missing dog his tail is docked. I can also see the full tail in the 3rd picture and there is no mistaking a full tail. Take a look at my Doodlebug he has a full tail and it always shows up really well in a picture. So even if their coloring in their face is similar I would have to say they are not the same dog.

Oh good! Because my son REALLY wants that dog. That's all he talks about!

The one you went to see is really cute.

Shanny this dog needs to be SAVED! I really hope that she will accept a rehoming fee of $75-100. And YES, I think that's all that you should pay. I can't wait for an update!

I would want to see all the vet records, and also talk to the Vet to be sure the dog is healthy and get the true age of the dog. Considering what you would have to pay for a puppy, then pay for all the shots and neutering, if this dog is confirmed as healthy and has a good temperament this isn't a terrible deal IMO. It sounds like he just needs a little attention, which he has never had, to get him on the right track.

Does that matter about his tail? A dog's tail is for communicating with other dogs. In the Uk (thankfully) it is now illegal to dock a dog unless it is a working dog. It wasn't illegal when I got my first yorkie but I prebooked her before she was born to ensure she had her tail. There is nothing better than a yorkie wagging it's tail. It's a beautiful and joyous sight. Sod standards...think about why you want a yorkie and part of a yorkie IS it's tail. Pretty soon the US will catch up with the British Kennel Club and change the standards to include tails and to deal with the health issues caused by these standards. If the US is anything at all like Britain people big companies sponsor the dog shows, etc will stand up and be counted and boycott their events until they change standards.

If you want a yorkie buy a whole one, and that includes the wonderful little waggy thing stuck on their butts.

No, as I said, I LOVE the tail. I've always loved Yorkies with tails!

LOL Thats the first thing I did to! just in case...

shannonroselive · 05-21-2010, 01:01 PM

Well, I can't find a lost or stolen dog who looks like this one so I made my offer and she's SERIOUSLY considering it. EEEEEEhehehe! we're kinda excited around here! My boy SO wants a dog and we all miss our little Curly Mac so much. It would be great to have a little guy around!

yorkie mad · 05-21-2010, 01:16 PM

i paid £500 english pounds for a rehome that was very poorly treated , trouble is i saw his little face and I would of paid what they liked lol Now I think I got him cheap, he is so priceless.

TwoforFun · 05-21-2010, 01:19 PM

His super cute, I would pay $200 if she would let me take him to the vet to make sure his in good health. As far as fleas I would give him Capstar to get rid of them ASAP and don't take any of his bed or blankies.
If you don't get him he will eventually end up on a shelter or the side of the road. Please try talking to her.
$500 is too much but $200 will atleast cover the neauter part in her defense. His super cute
