I also WILL NOT SHIP!! Me myself think that could be very hard on dogs...NO OFFENSE to those who do & I know people here do it and is fine with it...But me no thanks I just won't. As far as size: Tiffanie is 10 lbs! So I know what it is to have big & medium babies not all tiny...Would love to have one smaller but maybe later! ALL I WANT is to make SURE they will be taken care of & loved with all their owner's hearts, mind body and souls!!! Thanks So Very Much & Hugs, Lee & Babies Tiffanie "Tiffy" Ranae: http://www.dogster.com/?316369 Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt: http://www.dogster.com/?316383 Thanks So Very Much & Hugs, Lee & Babies ![]() ![]() http://www.dogster.com/?316369 ![]() ![]() http://www.dogster.com/?316383 | |

| ![]() I personally would never buy any dog from anyone that wanted my life history, background check, references on me. Not that I have anything to hide, but people who buy puppies are gonna have to pay you johnny on the spot. If they wanted all of that info from me, I would expect in return, a 100% guarantee that I could get my money(cash) back not a replacement dog from the same person as I might get the same thing I got from you in the first place. People, wake up and smell the roses. All buyers are not idiots. People are not buying a house from you and making payments on it. Once a dog is sold, to me, its none of the persons business what I do once it leaves their hands. If people are so worried about what is gonna happen to them, why dont they just keep them so they will know what happens. Personally once I buy a dog, I feel like its my baby and I dont even like the idea of people saying whether you can breed one or not. I mean once something is bought and paid for to me it is my property, meaning, NO LONGER YOURS. This sounds like grandparents trying to tell their kids what they can or cant do with their own children. So people can keep adding all their rules in their contracts and wanting to know your history and soon their will be a lot of breeders and back yard breeders with a house full of dogs if others feel like I do. I feel like its bad business to sell anything and have the right of taking their money and then telling them what to do with what they bought, yet nobody that I know of will give you back your money if the dog is suppose to be a certain size and isnt or a certain color or isnt. the buyer can not guarantee you their gonna always keep this particular dog if their not happy with it, but once purchased, its is theirs whether they like how it turns out or not. I would never throw mine away but its my business if I sell it to someone else or give it away or breed it. So anyone on here dont like the way I feel and want to come down on me for it, put yourself in the buyers shoes for a minute. Are you gonna give me references, and can I do a back ground ck on you and can I tell you if this dog gets bigger than 4, 5, etc lbs or its color ends up being yuck or coat being matty, or not shiny or whatever that you have to give me back my money? NO. So think about what YOU would expect from a seller if you gave them all that info and get nothing in return of what their selling as a guarantee of your money, other than a health guarantee of no genetic defects and such.

| ![]() This is what I would do... First of all you should not offer a health guarantee, it would be pointless since you don't know the lineage and you would be taking a HUGE risk by doing this. The only health guarantee you could possibly offer is that your puppies will be healthy when they get them. Questions to ask are.... Have you ever owned a yorkie or a toy breed or are you familiar with the breed (toys need special care being that they are so small and can get hurt real easily) Have you ever owned a dog? List your current animals you have If they have owned a dog or yorkie ask for contact information for their vet, this way you can see how past or current dogs are being taken care of How many hours a day will the puppy be home by himself/herself, you don't want to sell a puppy to someone who will be home only for a couple hours Are you familiar with hypoglycemia?? If your pup needs training, are you willing to do the training yourself or enroll the puppy in classes? Do you have young children and would they be able to properly handle a yorkie? Do you take full responsibilty for the puppies overall wellbeing and caare and are you able to provide your puppy with routine vet care and flea and heart worm prevenatative? Are you willing to provide grooming care to your puppy, alot of people don't realize that their coats need alot of attention Where will your yorkie puppy be housed? Do you realize that yorkies are strictly indoor dogs and should never ever be housed outdoors?? What personality trait best fits your life style, active (best for working owners, traveling, or children) or quiet (best for lap lovers, stay at home owners, only adults in household, generally living a quiet life) Also if you write up a contract, you can put in there that the puppy must be spayed/neutered by a certain date, 6,7 months, what ever you decide. You can also offfer that if they do get them spayed/neutered by that date you will give them some money back, and will release the registration papers to them. Anyways these are some of the questions I came up with, I am sure there are many more. Good luck with your babies!!

| ![]() I did not mean to come down on all breeders. But I've been ripped off two times as far as puppies being what the breeders claimed. So I guess now I just don't trust many. I mean I know a breeder can not say a dog will be x amt of pounds or x amount of coat and such. But when one tells you the puppy WON'T be over 4 lbs or she would keep her for breeding then you pay her 300 more for that one than the other one and she knew it was because of size she quoted with point blank positive talk and how she had 2 breeders try to buy it and she wouldnt sell it to them, then to me that is just not right. Dont get me wrong. I love kizzy and I want another one, but I would never buy anything from either breeders i've bought from before. I know some people will send in and get registeration papers for like 5 pups. then maybe one or two die and they take a couple from another litter which have bigger parents and register them to the smaller parents and I also know some DO have kennels somewhere on their property and just a few small cages in their house and pretend these puppies are all raised in this clean house and all then you find out they had kennels some place way off on their land where you dont see them and raise all breeds rather than the 3 breeds they claimed was all they had. SEE why I feel like I do. That is why i posted what I did, because I am reading more and more that breeders want your history as to show how you are gonna treat this dog yet you dont get that on them. I have learned a lot now from the two I did business with. I wont say all breeders are bad or do any of the things I just mentioned but I will say next one I buy will come from someone I know or get references on pups she/he has sold before. I think the info should go both ways personally. I've never put either of these breeders names on here as I feel I was ripped off by them but I am not into a smear campaign against anyone that I cant prove did something unscruptous. One puppy I gave 300 dollars for, mixed maltese and poodle, so maltepoo and I totally gave it away and lost everything I had put into it. Even had it neutered and all. It was so hyper it wasnt still except when it was asleep. and I know the breeder couldnt say it wouldnt be. But it kept growing and growing and it was suppose to stay under 6 lbs and last time he was weighed he weighed 8 lbs and still growing. So I gave him to a lady for her little 9 year old daughter whos puppy had got killed. She felt that if he had a child to run and play outside with he would be ok. I was upfront about everything with her before she took the dog. She came to my house and saw exactly how hyper he was. So now you see why I am leary of people. I sure hope you all understand and do not hate me for stating my opinion here. But if so, so be it. I just been thinking on my post since I wrote it and didnt want people to think I meant all breeders are bad. But it is something you learn about some as you go I suppose. Next time anyone tells me distinctively a puppy WILL NOT be over x amt of lbs I will make sure I get it in writing, or I will NOT buy it, since they feel so knowlegible and positive about it they want 300 extra bucks for it. I think she must have seen me coming and she knew I fell in love with it when I saw it. The reason I know some breeders do take some that are not the true puppies is because my neice had 5 snauzers and a guy came to her and wanted to buy them all and he told her that sometimes one or two of his puppies die and he buys others (cheaper ones) to use the registration papers for, hers were ckc and he sold akc. So she wouldnt sell him any of hers. So that to me is very very unethical and down right sorry of him. So please understand why I posted what I did. Sorry for the long post.

So she wouldnt sell him any of hers. She should have taken his money.....then given him 5 Hamsters...and say "How does it feel?" I guarantee that behavior will come back to haunt him. Some day...someone is going to report him to the AKC...and he will never be able to register puppies again...ever. Francie |

| ![]() I think here is a good place to post them for sale. This honestly is the best place I've found for questions, advice, help, etc. Everyone is very nice and helpful, and I think when people are seriously looking, here is a great place to find good homes. I wouldn't worry about the puppies not being good enough. There are lots of people looking for pet-quality Yorkies, as they can't afford the high prices. I have looked at and responded to tons of ads, and I am mostly running into scammers, which is so annoying. Most people don't want to wade through all that when it's easier to come here and find what they're looking for from serious people who love their Yorkies! I wish you all the best! |
