| Hello I'm new Hello" I am from Appleton Wisconsin, and I found a dog on Craigslist. The owner and I have been talking for two days now, and I am going to look at her dog tomorrow. The dog is 3 year old female, is house trained and does not need to be kenneled. She has owned her since October, and due to her job change, she has to re-home. Before that she came from a home that had a day care and she was kenneled all day. And before that she came from a filthy home. She is suppsed to be sweet as pie. She is tiny 3 to 4 lbs. I will try to attach a picture, I do not think she is pure bred. All black with a little white on chest. She sounds so good though. We also have a Frech Mastiff and an English Mastiff. What do ya think. |

| IMO, she doesn't look full bred. Don't pay "yorkie" prices if she isn't AKC registered. How much does the owner want? CL is maybe not the best place to find a dog because there are so many scams on CL - in every category. Does the current owner have any records to prove she owns the dog? If you love her and want her though, you have to do what your heart tells you. As a side note, aren't mastiff's HUUUUGE? Just wondering if a 3 pounder is going to be safe with 2 dogs that size.

| She doesn't look full bred to me but she is still adorable, nevertheless. However, if the owner is trying to tell you that she is a full bred Yorkie I would be cautious. Someone who lies about one thing will lie about another..

| Welcome. It's hard to really see the dog with all the backlight. The face is very dark so you can't really make out the features. Definitely ask for papers and if the price is right and there's a connection, that's really what matters. Good luck. |

| Welcome to YT. I have to say I'm in complete agreement with the others. Not to pay much for a mixed breed and re-think bringing a tiny dog into the house with two grown huge dogs. These tiny furry dogs bring out the prey drive in most larger dogs.
