Help: 9 wk old puppy with REALLY SHORT hair?

[Gardeness]

Cute and it looks like a Yorkie to me. I think all Yorkie pups have short hair. But since they have Morkies - make sure it's not a blended dog if you don't want one.

Please educate me AJBoogie, on exactly WHO and WHICH posts YOU are calling "HATEFUL" and "JUDGEMENTAL"....I have re-read the posts and I am sorry but I am not able to find even ONE that I would consider "hateful" or "judgemental". I think we would all appreciate YOUR invaluable input and definition of EXACTLY what qualifies as "hateful" and "judgemental"....obviously, most of the responders were very carefully trying to politely educate the poster about questionable registeries, back yard breeders, puppy mills, and brokers, along with the concerns about purchasing cheap/underpriced Yorkies, and yet, YOU have called these rather demure attempts to inform the poster of concerns they are well aware of, as "hateful" and "judgemental". I want to see exactly what you consider hateful and judgemental.....please, YOU educate us! After all, some of us have only been doing this for 30-40 years, and have seen all the pitfalls....have lived thru the pitfalls.....and to have their honest and very politically correct responses catagorized as hateful and judgemental, is rather perplexing. Is it NOW that, anything said, that anyone does not agree with, now defined by some, as hateful or judgemental?????.......Please, enlighten us....

If anyone can now post based on my initial thread question, I would appreciate it, thanks

I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot poll. The dog's look very poorly bred.

If you didn't want any opinions why the heck did you post??? Sheez!!!!!!!!

HMM it's a chill pill kinda day !!

OP....I think your question has been answered a couple of times in the above posts. You can use the information that was given to you on this thread by experienced yorkie owners and breeders or you can ignore it. The choice is yours. If I were you, I would heed the warning about this breeder. The puppy may only cost you $250 but you could end up spending thousands in vet bills if this puppy is not healthy or has genetic issues. As one poster said, you get what you pay for. Good luck to you.

[QUOTE=AJBoogie;4031489]OK,

Now I remember you. You came on and caused a BIG STINK before and sent several members horrible PM's. And now your back again after a little delay. OH My !!!

Glad you know...I don't take kindly to people talking rudely...

Once again, the saying rings true "A hit dog will howl." You clearly feel its justified to be condescending just because you have owned a yorkie for so many years (which still doesnt qualify you to shove your thoughts and opinions down someone elses throat). No one is receptive of any information if its administered rudely (theres an epiphany for you). Maybe that is why you have a hard time getting your point across, maybe thats why so many puppy mills still exist, maybe thats why BYB can continue to overshadow the message that you try to convey to the masses...because you don't know how to express yourself without being condescending, and therefore PEOPLE DON'T LISTEN. Clearly, i could care less about your opinions, thoughts and what you deem to be politically correct. Now why don't you go put your Yorkies down, because clearly 40+ years on studying yorkies have caused you to miss out on some vital lessons on RESPECTFULNESS. Have some dignity about yourself and get over what you think you know, because at the end of the day, that experience is only meaningful to you because you don't know how to deliver your message kindly. Now if you feel like you need "Further Education" feel free to inbox me, because I don't care to continue the circus that you insist on having.

No, I will not pm....I have nothing to hide from anyone here, and carry out my conversations in front of everyone...... I asked for YOUR definition of what is hateful and judgemental...didnt get that from you...just throwing more "great big words" around...."condescending, respectfulness, dignity, rudeness"....Did not ask you to educate me on definitions of those words.....clearly, you are blinded by your anger.......I asked you to educate me on what YOU found hateful and judgemental, as you were so quick to call some or all of the post that had been offered up to that point....Oh well, you were not able to do that....by the way, I did NOT deliver any message, kind or otherwise, TO THE POSTER!!! You blew out a fuse trying to insult me and fortunately, you missed your point. I SIMPLY asked for you to point out the threads YOU found hateful and judgemental...of course, you could not do that, because they do not exist on this thread, to this poster. ....you are accusing me of being all you accused others of being and you have absolutely NOTHING THAT I HAD WRITTEN, TO BASE YOUR UNFOUNDED "HATEFUL, RUDE, DISRESPECTFUL" remarks you threw at me, on! In conclusion, for my final circus act, I would add, puppy mills do NOT exist because knowledgable people "can not get their point across" to people that are not interested in listening. They exist because uninformed people continue to look for and purchase puppies from them. Educated, well meaning people can only share experiences and knowledge with people that are not aware of red flags and danger signs when they crawl over them to get to a cheap puppy. "You can lead a horse to water, but you cant make him drink".

Im not stupid, I'm going to look at the dogs soon and will come prepared with questions. I thought this site was intended to help yorkie owners, not torment them. I'm starting to regret signing up...

Hmbundy - our members are free to respond how they like, whether the answer is what you were hoping for or not, okay? Please refrain from telling other members how they may respond. We have people here who've seen more/heard more than they'd like to in regard to yorkies - and therefore, they're here to share some of the reasons why it can be incredibly important to be careful about from whom you buy a living, breathing puppy. If some members go to the site which *you* posted and they see some red flags - I sure hope they'd post concerns if it were me in your shoes! They're here to try and help you...they're taking time out of their day to post in your thread. Why not be grateful they care enough to post, and maintain an open mind about what's being said? You asked for feedback, and they're giving it.

You will get your pup from whomever you want -- but I will say this: she claims to be a 'small breeder' -- look at ALL those birth dates of pups. That is *not* a small breeder. Which is a concern bc if she is breeding indiscriminately, you have *no* idea what you could be signing up for healthwise. And believe me, I know about this firsthand, with my first yorkie Wylie.

So you're criticizing folks for being judgmental in the same sentence where you're actually being judgmental? Members are welcome to share their opinions here, this is a forum; I've read every post in this thread and no one has been hateful. I would advise you to back off from the kinds of comments you're making toward members today. Instead, if you have helpful advise to offer...feel free to give it. If you want to discuss other members' feedback on this thread, then you need to take a different route in doing so.

Can you honestly say that some of these posts/reply's aren't condescending and uninviting to new visitors to this site?? And be honest....

Since you have a bias towards certain people. You can feel free to ban me...It won't hurt my feelings.

You will have a long wait if you think I'm going to debate you any further about the negativity on this thread .

I do like honesty though - so since you're asking me to be honest, my honest hope is that you set an example for yourself as to how you think you should communicate in a way to ALL members that is *not* rude, name calling, confrontational, and condescending. No one is really going to listen to you when you accuse them of doing the exact same things you're doing. If you think better communication is needed, then communicate better *yourself*, even when you're ticked off.

If you have any further comments about this, PM Admin directly. Please allow this topic to continue on the actual topic. Thanks.

[Wylie's Mom]

So anyway, let's get back to the topic of trying to help the OP with their questions.

[gemy]

@AJ Boogie:

Response on Coat - 9.5wk old puppy depicted has a "lot" of coat for 9.5 wks old. Of course the pics are not that "clear". It looks like a "soft" coat from the pics. Unlikely to grow to the desired silk coat.

I also concur with the cautions posted earlier about this breeder's site. Too many puppies with varying birthdates, cross breeds, disreputable registry, no health warranty posted, etc.

[Samuelsmommie]

I'm still in my learning phase, as I'm "old" enough to know that your never to old to learn. So here's my question, wouldn't it be hard to know how a puppy's coat will grow out etc if your not sure about the actual "breed" of the puppy?
