Does this sound fishy? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Why don't you ask to speak to her vet to see how they have been maintained health-wise?

Yorkiedaze · 07-19-2007, 10:12 AM

I have a son who is allergic to my dogs when he comes here and I even give them a bath the day he is to arrive, but it still doesn't help. He in fact did come live with us for a year after his divorce, but there was no way I was going to give up my Yorkie girls. It's my house and their house and his only temporarily. He knew the rules "before" he moved in and accepted them. Are those Yorkies registered? If they aren't then I'd ask her to give me the name/s of the people she got them from and if she can't do that then that would put a big red flag up for me.

Did you check on those babies yet? Love to hear what you find out and if you are getting one!

BLowry · 07-20-2007, 12:10 PM

I don't know about this one! I can kinda smell a fish! Is she close enough to you that you could go and see them? I would do ALOT of checking out before I gave her anything...And like one of the posters has said...with so many yorkies being stolen I would have to wonder about this one...Just becareful

Keep us posted

She could be on the up and up. My sister is allergic to mine. She can not be around them for too long.

ladybugg74 · 07-20-2007, 12:46 PM

Oh my gosh....your babies look just like mine. They are sitting in the same computer desk chair. Check it out!

Catrina · 07-20-2007, 12:58 PM

It does sound a lil fishy that she wants to give them ALL AWAY...

hopefully they are all healthy so you can get one!

Yorkiekids · 07-20-2007, 12:58 PM

Why don't you pick one, and ask if you can talk to her Vet about the dog, or if you can take it to your Vet before you buy. If she says no, I'd run.

Is this someone you actually know in person, or is it an ad on the internet? One thing that bothers me is that there have been so many stolen yorkies. I would hate to think any of these were stolen because I know how heartbroken their owners must be feeling.

I would get as much info as you can, and check to make sure they have vet records.

Did you go check out the yoekies yet?

connie777 · 07-22-2007, 07:45 AM

That's what I was going to suggest. I'd worry if she doesn't have vet records.
