| How do I decline a puppy? I've been talking to this person who has a yorkie puppy, but I recently just checked online and there's 3 yorkie mix puppies for adoption. I'm torn now. Do I tell this other person that I'm going to decline a puppy now, because there's yorkie mix pups up for adoption? Or do I still go with him?

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Do you have a contract with this person? What does it say? If your heart is set on the mixes then I would be honest with your breeder. A good breeder wants to make sure that the pup and the owner are a good match and its going to be a permanent placement. You could always adopt them both

| As long as you didn't put a deposit down you should be ok to decline the other Yorkie. Picking a dog is a personal decision… so with that being said, go with what you feel is in your heart. A dog is a lifetime commitment, so make sure the one you pick is the one you want. Good Luck on your choice!!

| I am never offended if someone changes their mind for whatever reason on one of my pups especially if I have not taken a deposit. I prefer a home where the person is clawing at my door and absolutely insists on one of mine from me. Others can do as they please and are welcome to go elsewhere. I need a firm commitment for the lifetime of the pup. If I have taken a deposit, you won't be getting it back under this type of circumstance but then I don't take a large deposit in the first place. If you don't care if you buy a purebred, don't know what breeder you are talking about and how good the breeder is, or a mutt then choose which one you want. Hopefully you won't change your mind later after purchase as I know for sure the mutt breeder won't be taking it back. Whether or not the purebred yorkie breeder would well it depends on what the breeder does or doesnt' do. |

| As in check out the shelters and rescues? Excellent idea wish i had said that! But for many rescues and shelters they will interview and turn you down if they find you unsuitable home prospect. At least the ones I know of do. |
