SET Yorkies

I did not say they needed to travel all over the country to do home visits. As for shipping pups, I cannot condone that by anyone. Adopting on internet sites? That is what YHR does...and we don't have any problems being thorough.

Perhaps many shelters don't have the luxury of doing what I am talking about, but I do know of some that do....and while they may not be AS thorough, they do try. Rescues and breeders are just not exempt in my book....and especially not breeders. They should go the extra mile....after all they are bringing these pups into this world and making money off of them. I know..they all say there is no money in it , but let us not buy that story. There is no money if you do it correctly ... but the vast majority are making money! Why else would they do it over and over and over?

You speak as if you know the guidelines for placing rescue pups. I have seen other people say such things about fences...but honestly that is not a hard fast rule that we follow. There are no hard and fast rules of that nature...if you have a proven track record of caring for pups there is no reason to have to have a fence UNLESS it is a pup that needs to run a lot. We look for the best fit for the pup....if it fits the pup, it will fit the adopter. One thing that also needs to be mentioned here is that it is up to each rescue what rules they follow in terms of adoption.

And, as to your last statement...I would rather miss out on a good home than run the risk of placing a pup in a bad one. Stuff happens and yes, sometimes we may miss out on a good one....I would venture to say that is a rare thing, though.

Some pups are more difficult to place...depending on area and also depending on the condition of the pup. While they are in foster homes...if with YHR, they are in a good place even if they never get adopted. We check our foster homes out the same way we do our adopters. so...no reason to feel sorry for any pup that is on our website...he/she is getting great care! Some rescues have furever ours pups...we just don't do that because our philosophy is that there is a possible home for each of them. Sometimes people come along who really want a special needs pup.

I will end this by saying that I believe most breeders are not very careful...NOTE that I did not say ALL breeders. The vast numbers of purebred dogs in shelters and rescues would indicate that what I am saying is true. Sure..it takes a bit more time....but you know, if you are making money, why not invest time??? You certainly have to in other "professions".

I am sorry I hope you don't think that I was disagreeing with you on your intentions, your ideas are great just not always practical in every situation involving shelters and rescue groups. You are correct though I did not catch the part about how you network to do the visits, excellent idea. Unfortunately the shelters around here that are not breed specific are to stretched to do the home visits, I wish that wasn't the case but the ones I have done volunteer work for have a hard time finding foster families and people to volunteer in the shelter. If yours has the manpower to do the visits that is great, I wish others did as well. Also I can not speak to the rules of all yorkie rescue groups, only the two I checked with 7 years ago, and they would not make an exception, believe me I tried and they only had yorkies. Perhaps at the time they had runners, but it was also on their contract, of course that was years ago so I am not even sure if they are still around or perhaps changed their policy.

I have never heard a bad word about her and would never bash her.

Someone said they did not agree with the 1 year for lp and so I guess I read the "I TAKE ISSUE WITH" as a form of bashing. It sounds to me like they don't think there should be a limit. Yes some lp is congenital but some is also caused from us letting them jump from places they shouldn't . I don't mean to offend anyone here. Like I said all I have ever heard about Deb is good. I do not know her personally but have spent time studying her dogs because some day I would love to have one. Again op good luck in you search.

I find it offensive to be told I am bashing. If you thought a post I wrote was a "form of bashing" as you say, then you should hit the little triangle and report it. I simply raise issues for discussion here that might help or inform someone else, as I do on almost every other area of this message board and have done thousands of times before. But make no mistake, at the end of the day, I really don't give a damn who does what with their dog or who they do business with.

We would love to see pictures of the yorkie you are considering! In addition to all the research you have done - choosing your puppy should be FUN and exciting.

Enjoy!
