Sharon,

I am so glad that you came to YT to ask questions. This is an excellent place to ask questions and learn about Yorkies and Biewers.

I'm looking forward to seeing pictures and answering your questions. I'm glad that you took the advice of the group regarding when a puppy should leave their mama and when to do puppy shots.

Looking forward to getting to know you.

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
This is not something anyone that is out looking for a puppy, should have to tell an EXPERIENCED, UPSTANDING BREEDER. Breeders that are doing this for the love of the breed and for the benefit and well being of the puppies she produces, KNOWS how to conduct a breeding business and should certainly NOT have to be schooled by customers looking to purchase a puppy. We know what we are doing, we have our standards and accepted practices and guidelines for our business, the babies we produce, and the way we conduct our business. Breeders that run a shoddy business need to be weeded out, for the good of the breed....do not buy from such people! We are thrilled when we are contacted by people that want a Yorkie, but the customer must go along with the breeders program, especially if it is obviously in the best interest of her puppies, first and foremost....knowledgeable, decent breeders do not jump thru hoops and fall over backwards, breaking all the rules that ensure the puppy is getting the very best of everything, to accommodate a buyer....when a breeder starts to do things that are completely off the wall when it comes to acceptable practices, just to please a customer, so the breeder can get this baby sold and gone, that is WRONG.....Red Flags of Caution are not fluttering in the wind, they are snapping and gyrating grotesquely, and MUST be noted and NOT ignored!

I agree. I would be hesitant on this one for sure.

How terrible! Did your little one survive?

The poster in question indeed made a personal comment against OP. She stated: I doubt that we will hear back from "Miss Snowbird" as she will probably do as she pleases and not what is best for this pup. She named whom she was talking about, and made a judgement on Snowbird's intentions. In what world is that not personally speaking of Snowbird? :rolleyes:

I think it's time for ....

Thanks for the link.
Hope you enjoy the bubbles. :)

Bubbles are always good! :) The ones you drink and the ones you soak in; and you can do them at the same time!

Sad that I remember that commercial. lol

Didn't think of that, the champers and the soap bubbles together. Even better idea.

LadyJane, you keep saying Cherie apologized, but she did not say she was sorry for what she said, she said she was sorry that I took it personally. That is NOT an apology. You two are obviously friends for you to stick up for someone that insulted me for no reason. You say you don't believe the negative things people say about you and you just ignore it as it gives you less stress and headaches. Did it ever occur to you that if you were nice instead of nasty, that you wouldn't have to worry about what people say about you and you wouldn't have these upset stomachs and headaches? I had several members send me private messages saying you do this all the time and always have to have the last word. It is just as easy to be nice as it is to be so unkind, you should try it some time. It might make you happier.

LOL and I could say something about the messages I am getting from members, but not going to attack you as you are doing me. Clearly you don't know the way things go on the internet...people always do these things.

I am not nasty to people at all....I simply tell the truth that some people cannot handle. If I were all that nasty I would not be here...we do have moderators. You know, you can always report posts if you think they break the rules....just click on the little red triangle with the exclamation point....lower left side.

As for the "last word" .. that always works both ways when people disagree. :) You already said that you would respond every time I say something...so clearly you want the last word and think it is nicer than mine. LOL

BTW I don't know Cherie personally and I stand by what I said. .. all of it. Much ado about nothing.

There is an ignore feature here for when people do not wish to read what another person says.

Do I smell a DEAD HORSE??????? YES!!! I smell a freaking DEAD HORSE!!! Stop with digging up and beating a dead horse.........that horse is DEAD!!!! Leave it in peace!!! WHY in the world is this being brought up YET again???? LET IT GO!!!!!!!!!!! Quit stirring the pot!! We ALL know people come on here with horrible, tear jerking stories, begging for answers or help, and we all drop what we are doing and try our best to help....and the OP NEVER comes back...people that know how to do it(NOT in MY wheelhouse!!) can look someplace and see the number of times the OP comes back and checks answers that were given, but they dont respond!!! NOTHING!!! Not an ounce of respect or gratitude for concerned strangers that have dropped everything they were doing, to try to help the OP....and they dont even get the sweat of the OP's butt in a show of some kind of appreciation. New posters, please understand that we each have our own methods of spending our time to answer questions, trying to help,.....and then NOTHING!!!! Cut this poster some slack for God's sake!!! Maybe she is disgusted and put out about another poster, pulling this same stunt I mentioned above....maybe she has had HER feelings hurt a dozen times by ungrateful, unappreciative people that come looking for answers, and then did not have the respect, graciousness or decency to return to even say "thanks!". She DID come back and try to make it right...if you dont approve or appreciate her attempt, GET OVER IT!!! She tried!! She COULD have come back and said "Go to hell!!!" What do you want.....shoot her at dawn???? Hang her high????? Draw and quarter her??? JUST GET THE HELL OVER IT AND LET IT GO!!!! Now we have "INSTIGATORS", trying to stir it all up all over again!!! People are coming on here TRYING to redirect and make peace and you have people that like to keep stirring the pot!!! LET IT GO!!! There is soooooo much wrong and disruptive and major, going to hell in every ones personal lives, and you got this kind of petty krap erupting on here!!! Be a freaking adult and get over it!!!

:yeahthat:

Hi Sharon. :)

I'm glad to hear you're having the pup stay with her mommy for another month. Yorkies can be a real handful early on, even at 12 weeks. I got my Cookie Monster at 13.5 weeks and she is a larger pup and I was still monitoring her really closely those first couple of weeks to be on the lookout for hypoglycemia. I can't imagine how much work it would have been had I got her at 8.5 weeks (though my breeder, Deb Sillers, would have never allowed that!).

I wouldn't sweat the comment from before too much. People here are really friendly and really love dogs, and so many times we have people come here and ask questions and then just stubbornly do what they were going to do anyways. It's so frustrating to us when that happens and it happens over and over here. Most dogs are fine to take home at 8 weeks but yorkies can be so prone to hypoglycemia since they're so small at that age and since they're also so hyper! And parvo is such a huge problem too, you don't want your pup exposed to it in your yard and it could be brought in by neighborhood cats, racoons, skunks, other dogs that have been in the yard, and so on. I didn't know any of this stuff either since before I got Cookie as a puppy I had only rescued, other than a mastiff puppy I got years ago (and no worry about hypoglycemia with that big monster of a pup!).

I hope you stick around here Sharon. This forum was so helpful to me when Cookie was a puppy and can be a great support group too when something bad happens. Yorkietalk and so many of its caring posters (many of whom have posted in this thread) was such a pick me up when my yorkie Minnie died a couple of years ago.
