DON't post possiable future pups on YT

[YorkieRini]

For that price I don't know anyone that would do this on purpose or to be spite full. I'm gonna speculate 2 things:

1. The member on YT is a ficticous person and Aspen is now off the market for you because of others experience on YT and the breeder caught wind that bad experiences were being shared.

2. The member on YT didn't see the post that you were getting Aspen and just had to have him.

NO matter what the reason the breeder should have been upfront and honest with you.

Sorry this happend! But really, it's probably for the best!!

I also think it was wrong. It doesn't matter who the other member (or non-member) is or even if they are one of my favorites....it is wrong. I could see if the person contacted you and said "Hey, if you decide you don't want this pup, please let me know, I'd love to have it". I know you are very angry right now, but just know if you don't get this pup, it wasn't meant to be and that the one that is just right for you is still waiting for you to find him/her.

One thing's for sure, it's gonna be kinda tough for the annon to post pics of their new baby on here!

I think your intentions were pretty clear and if it had been me I would have written you and told you that if you decided not to get him, to let me know. Otherwise there were plenty of other's to choose from on that site.

Thank you so much, to many people I'm being silly but to me it was just wrong. I mean when I do find another pup I'm going to be scared to show anyone til he/she is home with me. Not right at all....

I Agree !!!! You shouldn't have to worry about someone taking a puppy your inquiring on b/4 you are able to make your decision. If it was just Joe Blow then it wouldn't matter, but this is suppose to be like a family and you don't do that to blood!!!!!!

Hey was Aspen that $3000 pup?? I'm sorry to hear that someone did that!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! The person that did that SUCKS BIG TIME!! DON'T DARE POST ASPEN WHEN U GET HIM!! WE WILL IGG U!!!

Well i'm sure you'll find another baby that looks better than Aspen and is healthier for less than $3000. Lawd I'd die if I spent that much!

You know what - IF I saw a puppy and knew another person was interested in him - I would WAIT Till that person made up their minds and CHECK and see if it would be ok .....

but to go and BUY a puppy right out from under someone's nose is just very selfish. It was obvious from your posts Tricia that you were VERY Interested in him and that person probably would never have seen that puppy if it wasn't for you.

They should have asked to be 2nd in line if you decided not to get him.

NOT NICE !

Alright, people! I had met a member here not long ago (like a couple of weeks). This person, whether knowingly or not, bought Aspen last night. I did not know it but got the e-mail this morning at work. Tricia, I'm sorry that this happened to you. I did not know that she was looking to get Aspen. But she asked me to not give her name and I will not.

[Lissie]

I'm sorry this has happened

Have you called the breeder back?? Why did she talk as if the puppy is still available???

Villette, I disagaree with this because the breeder should have their buyers organized and should not sell out from under the buyer that is interested. It was extremley obvious Tricia was excited and really wanting this puppy. I'm sure the breeder got the same impression.

Oh and my reply is intended to sound nasty..but not to you my dear..I'm just ticked that the breeder would handle a matter in this way.

[yorkiemom1970]

Ok, all that aside. Then why is the breeder still telling Tricia that he is available as of this morning???

[Rockster's Mom]

That was so wrong in that person to buy the pup like he/she did. We are suppose to be able to come to YT for advise and research. You did what I would have done and asked about a breeder before purchasing a pup from him/or. Good luck on your search for a new baby, I sure one is waiting out there just for you.

I agree -- totally sad that someone on this board could take advantage of one of our members like this.

What is so sad to me is that this person KNOWS that this is unethical behavior by asking the member they confided in not to reveal their underhandedness in the purchase of Aspen!

Thanks for posting to let members know that when considering the purchase of a pup, do not share it openly on the forum 'lest you'll be sorry!

All things happen for a reason . . . I'm just sorry that you had to go through this.

Oh Kim, I really hate that this happened to you!!!!!!! Please don't let it hurt your feelings. Someone just apparently doen't have high morals and they will probably dissappear from here anyway. I didn't realize you were searching for a new love bug. How exciting!!!!! Can't wait to see new pictures of your new little fur ball.

Tricia had not spoken to the breeder until this morning...correct me if I'm wrong. She had just found him and mentioned him last night...so the breeder didn't know her interest.
