?about meeting a breeder half way if ya'll were to call someone who had yorkies and she wanted to meet half way because she was already meeting someone eles in the same spot would you do it and why? |
I would want to check out her place to see the dogs in action, plus you would be able to see mom and dad that way. Will you be able to spend time with the pups? Oh and WELCOME to YT |
I might be tempted, but it's so important to see how they are raised and the mom and dad. I think I would want to meet at her house a few days earlier; that way you won't feel the competition from the other buyer as much. Nancy |
thats what my husband said. its just a long drive and there is no way i would be able to make it twice. hubby works a lot and he wouldn't let me go by myself :2hearts2: oh well i guess i'll have to look else where. thanks! |
I would not do it. I have drove 4 hours one way to LOOK at a yorkie. and 4 hours back just to LOOK. So no matter how far you will know if it is the right one. Plus I have to see the parents and want to know there personality looks attitude and just everything how there raised what there fed the enviroment. |
Aren't men stubborn sometime? Maybe you could negotiate something with him. :love: Nancy |
One lady I called pushed for that and I just decided against it. I worried that she did not want me to see the conditions they had been raised in. |
The really scary thing is that this could be a broker or miller:( Without seeing the home and parents, there's no way of knowing. I wouldn't really trust anyone that didn't totally grill the buyer, either, as they should care where their puppies are going. I'd pass. You'll find a Yorkie, just hang in there:love: |
No way would I meet anyone to look at pups anywhere but their home. I definitely want to see where the pups been raise. Most breeders want you to come to their house to see puppies. Also meeting her 1/2 way, if you don't like the pup, you will feel like you have to take it anyway because she went through the trouble. I smell puppy mill here. |
Meeting someone for a puppy makes me nervous. When I first joined and was looking for another Yorkie pup, I had a member here want to meet me at a McDonalds to do business. Her reasoning was that her house was 1. hard to find and 2. that she don't like doing business at her home because she's afraid that the prospective buyer is just someone trying to stake her house out. I just think it sounds too shady to me. Makes me wonder if the pups were actually her pups that she bred or if she bought them from a puppymill and selling them as her own (or) that her place and parents are so badly kept that she just don't want anyone to see. I'd def. want to go to the home of where the pups and parents are and see how the parents are kept etc. Just my .02. Happy Holidays everyone. Elaine |
I spoke to a breeder here in Illinois and she would travel with the parents and the puppies. Her and her husband came to 2 different meeting places for you to choose and sign papers etc. You could then pick the puppy up from her home when ready, but she came to you first. She had been robbed in the past because robbers thought she had a lot of puppy money. The 2nd time, they took some puppies. So I can understand both sides of concern, but you still want to see the puppies surroundings. |
Unless there were some really unusual circumstances, I would drive to the breeder's home to look at the pups. |
Alot of breeders are leary of having people at their house for a number of reasons. I've heard of breeders showing puppies to some one and the phone will ring. They go to answer it and the person that came to look at the pups is gone with the pup. Also if you let people into your place you have no idea where their shoes have been and they might drag something in with them when they come in to the breeders. When I got Roxy I met the lady half way. I had some references that I contacted before hand, and she only had a litter of pups available at the time, also only one breed. I check her web site often and she only has about 2 to 3 litters a year. When I got Nicky I drove 9 hours 1 way and 9 hours back, bc I wanted to check things out. My recommendation is to ask the breeder if you can contact their vet and the other person meeting them. Also see if they could provide some references. |
When I sold my puppy, i meet thee new owner about an hour and a half away from my home, next to the Interstate they were traveling on. They had an all day drive to get here and I felt that it would help them a lot if they could just get right back on the Interstate and head home instead of driving here to the country where I live. BUT, The new owner and I had talked several times by email and she is a member here and also another board that I am on and we felt like we knew each other. She knew exactly what she was getting, being a breeder herself. |
The only way I would do this is if the breeder was a great distance and I was driving. I like to see the Mother and Father and where they were raised |
