Some people So on our local Facebook page a lady said she was looking for a yorkie for a service dog. I responded by saying that she should find a quality breeder and the breeder could match her up the right puppy, and that she should be wary of cheaper dogs as their quality of health may not be as good. I also said that she should tell the breeder what the dog will be trained to do to help find the right match. She responded that the dog will be used as an ESA and the disability is a personal nature and non of my business. Then that she doesn't want to get scammed. I explained that an ESA is not a service animal, I never asked about her disability, but that she needs to tell the breeder about what training she is wanting, and another good reason to get a good breeder as a quality breeder knows the temperment of their line best and could match her needs. Some people, IMO, I think she wants a yorkie to call a service dog to carry around since she only wants to pay $200, $350 max and did I mention she specifically asked for tea cups. |
That was kind of you to share your info with her. Too bad she took your helpfulness as an attack on her personally. Hmmm, I wonder what kind of service dog she is using/needing the Yorkie for? $200-$350 max. is such a cheap amount that it makes me think it is a byb. Can't expect much for that low amount imho. Hopefully the excitement on getting a dog from this 'breeder' will diminish and your info will takes its place. Sounds like trouble to me though. Having said that, I do wish her and her Yorkie the best! |
........omg...........it just never ends............ |
Looks like you provided good accurate advice. Can't see any GOOD reason for her to get defensive. Hopefully, other people that read your post will learn and appreciate the info you provided. |
Fake service dogs make me want to rip my hair out. It is most likely this is a person looking for exactly that- a purse pet they want to call a service dog so they don't have to leave it home. If steam comes out my ears, we know why...UgH |
or they were a troll trying to get people agitated?! |
After my comment two other people commented about her needing to find a great breeder. One was a vet tech and informed of problems she often sees in not well bred yorkies, and that teacup was not a type of yorkie. So at least there were a few of us doing our best to educate. |
Absolutely . It's all you can do ! |
We took Mario to a Samsung Service facility today, and everyone wanted to fawn all over him and praise how well behaved he was. I was very glad because they had the typical sign outside, "no dogs allowed, service dogs welcome". I love that his personality and size allow us the opportunity to educate some folks who want to learn more about service dogs. I am glad you took your time to try to help her, even if she was not appreciative. Someone else reading may benefit :). Little dogs (he is 8.5lbs) can be service dogs, but I am unsure if teeny tiny dogs could be. I suppose they can be alert dogs, if you worked really closely together. Tinies can be ESAs, but yes, you are absolutely right, ESA are not service dogs and do not have public access rights since they are not trained to behave to public access standards. |
Tinies make amazing seizure alert dogs and allergy alert dogs...to name a couple- There aren't many out there, but they exist :) |
Kaira is 5 lbs and an autism dog. She is EXCELLENT. :) Tinies can definitely do it, but super tinies can't- they're too delicate. |
