Good luck and I hope that she calls back soon.

She should have taken you up on it immediately. He needs a nice home.

Any news? he's such a cuttie!!

shannonroselive · 05-21-2010, 05:18 PM

No news yet...still hopeful...no news is good news??? LOL Jack is all cranked about this dog!

capt_noonie · 05-21-2010, 05:27 PM

No doubt she's holding out for more money. But at least she said she's considering your offer instead of just saying no. *fingers crossed* for you!

Like Twoforfun I would offer $200 at the most. The baby needs a better home than the girl will give him...poor guy

My cousin took a beautiful yorkie from a girl in a similar rehoming situation. The girl wanted $300, but $200 was all my cousin wanted to pay. The only difference was this one was trained really well. Good luck...I hope he gets your family.

xxmxaxrxyxx · 05-22-2010, 01:30 PM

i think $200 is reasonable! And he sure is cute!

ziggy925 · 05-22-2010, 07:01 PM

You guys may hate me, but Yorkies and little kids don't always get along. Kids want what they want, and a Yorkie is a toy breed, and kids want toys. The problem is you can't just throw the dog in a toybox when you are finished playing with him.

If you really feel comfortable taking this dog in as a rescue, I think that's great, but the whole thing sounds fishy to me, and I wouldn't believe anything this owner says. Yorkies are really smart, they tend to be easy to train, but some things like peeing all over the house, barking and biting can be problems with this particular breed. Just read some of the posts in this forum.

Regardless, $500 is rediculous, even with the bonus fleas. Good luck with this, and I'll be watching this post to see what happens. Obviously, this little guy needs help, and you definitely sound like the person to do it.

shannonroselive · 05-22-2010, 07:57 PM

No worries, Ziggy...we've had a Yorkie, a tiny one at that, and my son is the sweetest, gentlest kid you'd wanna know. He's great with small pets and babies

She never did call back so I guess she's not having us anyway.

megansmomma · 05-22-2010, 08:01 PM

I think you should give her a call back and see if she still has him

Thanks. I know not all Yorkies hate kids, but for some reason mine does. He just barks a lot at em. Then, of course, they run away and he barks even more. I've tried to socialize him with kids, and he'll lick them if I hold him, but when he's on the ground I don't trust him. He might give a soft nip, and if the kid pulls away they might get scratched.

Still, the kids in the neighborhood always say hi to him when they drive by.

I hope you get the dog. I think you'd be great with him. Fleas. Yuck!

We don't have fleas where I live.

JonlyCajunQueen · 05-23-2010, 02:40 AM

Hope you get him....so sad

manolos mom · 05-23-2010, 03:32 AM

Well, did you hear anything?

shannonroselive · 05-23-2010, 08:04 AM

She's gone out of town for the weekend, leaving the dog home so the neighbor can come over and feed him. He COULD have been having a blast with his new boy at the birthday party today!!!
