I'm looking through the classifieds and I found a female yorkie puppy for free.. I got really excited.. so I e-mailed them and hopefully its a good deal =] Any advice?

I would be very careful, alot of those ads are scams. If the person is from Nigeria or Cammaroon or any other country outside the USA it's a scam. But it may be real, which would be SO awesome!

Hi, be very careful. If they ask you to pay for shipping only and want you to pay by western union back away fast!! Probably a scam going on!! If you live close to this person I would go see the dog and ask tons of questions. Why are they wanting to find the dog a new home?? It could be innocent but most people know how much these dogs sell for, so someone willing to give one away for free is definately something to question. If they truly are looking for a new home and are good people that simply can't keep the dog I'd ask for vet papers and make sure the dog is healthy. Be careful and good luck to you

xoxStephie · 11-25-2006, 07:28 PM

I found 2 of them and they are both in boston which is really close for finding yorkies.. AND they say they are willing to deliver locally.. either way I would meet the dog first and have the papers and all that before i brought it home and especially vet papers that say that the pup is okay

Dina_Nichole · 11-25-2006, 07:31 PM

Thats wonderful!! What an awsome Christmas gift

I hope everything works out for you.

Thanks.. the only problem is I think they said around 9 wks.. which some breeders say is much too early.. but if it is luckily my neighbor whom i am veryu close with used to be a dog breeder and trainer but retired after 30+ years of doing it

Dina_Nichole · 11-25-2006, 07:47 PM

Your right 9 weeks is a little early. Do you happen to know how much the puppy weighs? I would never suggest taking the baby away that early but some things happen for a good reason

The good thing is that your not nuts and know you'll have to take extra care of the baby and keep a very close eye out for anything bad. (I guess that goes for all babies but I'm sure you got my point, LOL) Your being smart and are going to have help. I'm sure everything will work out for the best. Maybe the people don't know 9 weeks is a little young. Perhaps they could keep the baby for a few more weeks?? Good Luck with everything

xoxStephie · 11-25-2006, 07:52 PM

Shes only a pound.. so im a little scared about the size and age =/ but if I do end up getting her she should be okay.. She'll be ub good care... Theres a vet down the street for emergencies and my neighbor can take care of everything else.

Dina_Nichole · 11-25-2006, 07:59 PM

I'm sure everything will work out. You are thinking ahead like a good mommy

It's scary when they are so small. My one little girl is 1 yr. 7 mths and only weighs 2 lbs. My other baby girl is 5 lbs. at 14 mths. Both are very happy and healthy

I know many say the little ones have problems but I've been blessed so far (knock on wood) Pia (the smaller one) is so full of life. I hope you get the baby becuase I can tell it will have a wonderful home.

xoxStephie · 11-25-2006, 08:06 PM

Aww thanks! =] That makes me feel better about getting a yorkie. I hope that this person e-mails me back I want to meet the pup.. I'm already thinking of names.. as bad as this sounds I want a girly name =] but so far the most i can come up with is Jasmine but I dont know.. maybe Nala after the Lion King? Any suggestions?

Dina_Nichole · 11-25-2006, 08:14 PM

My girl's names are Princess Pia and Trixie Bear

Heres a few ideas for you:
Noelle (Christmas like and considering when you'd be getting her)

Tis the season!!
Lilly
Lacey
Pixie
Mia
Bella
Isabelle (Izzy for short)
Chloe

Sorry I guess I'm not too creative tonight

frankie mum · 11-25-2006, 08:18 PM

good luck..

xoxStephie · 11-25-2006, 08:19 PM

i LOVE the name Lily but sadly 2 monthes ago my cousin named his dog Lily.. but I LOVE Chloe! So far I like Chloe best thanks =]

tassibo · 11-25-2006, 10:54 PM

How about Hannah, Lexi, Lesi, Tink (watched Peter Pan today

), Ginger, Kala, Cosmo, Daisy, Zena...and by the way, a free yorkie?

I am jealous!!

I wish you the best! Let us know of the turn out!

xoxStephie · 11-26-2006, 06:30 AM

Thanks! I'm so suprised that there are two people doing it. One of them when I asked the weight now and what she will probably end up being she sad shes about 1.7 now nd will probably get to about 7-8 pounds... doesn'tthat seem like the pup is really young?
