Update on Breeder Selling $100 puppy

[TLC]

Would you take them BOTH??? I think that's a good sign! How exciting...

[Yorkiedaze]

Take two or three men with you. This situation does not sound good at all.

I just want to ad that you might want to take someone with you but her wanting to make sure you are right for the puppys is a very good sign. I did sell a female yorkie for $200 back the first time my soon to be ex hubby went pshyco, and did need to sell her asap. I did look into to buyer and the buyers home before i sold the dog, I aslo called her vet 2 days before she bought her to make sure she had good standing with him. But just dont give your hopes up or let your guard down. good luck and keep us posted.

Also forgot to ad I just bought a yorkie mix for $75 she is 3/4 yorkie 1/4 terrier. Dont know what kind of terrier but she is only 10 months old. And the guy that sold her to my mom said he just bred her with his brothers yorkie so I am in the process of makeing sure she will be able to handle her upcoming litter.

None of those breeders are close to me.

Go with your gut feeling just please don't go alone and don't take cash, you can always go to an ATM if it works out. Good luck

No, not both. Just one.

You really think I need to worry about my safety?

[MaxwellHouse]

How do you know they aren't stolen and have to be sold quickly?

just wondering why do you STILL want to support a puppy miller?

good price? too good to be true, is probably isn't.... hopefully, you will not pay more for that price....

I'm guessing that she knows most people want puppies young - like 8 - 10 weeks old. These puppies are a little older, so most people probably won't want them. She has a younger puppy that is 8 weeks, and she's asking $600 for him.

even puppy millers play games trying to show that they are good breeders.
in previous topic I wrote some questions you should ask. sorry, but what you wrote here is nothing special. how puppy will react???!!!!

i would believe her more if she ask you more specific questions like:
who will take care of puppy?
if you travel, who will be with puppy?
if you move/get pregnant/whatever what are planning to do with puppy?
do you have a fenced yard?
if puppy make an accident, your reaction?
why do you want this particular breed?
are you planning to take this puppy to a training classes?

Serious breeders ask those questions, but not "how puppy will react". scam to me

Oh,she wants to ask me questions, too. She said she would ask me tomorrow when we meet. She just also wanted to see how the puppies interact with me to determine which would make a good match.

[MaxwellHouse]

Younger isn't better. She should know ideally, yorkies should be 12 weeks before leaving mother/litter.

I would take someone with you and don't take any money you can always pop over to the store and use the ATM if you decide you want the dog. Just use you best judgement and ask for at least a 72 hour return policy (IN WRITING) so you can get the puppy checked by your vet. Also ask to see the parents and look at the living arrangement ask to see the papers of both the sire and dam as well as the puppies so you can compare. I really think the google her name and kennel name is a great suggestion i would do that tonight and also check with the BBB for her name and kennel name as well. Good luck i trueley hope this is a great thing and we get to see your new baby soon!

Most good breeders don't let their puppies go before 10-12 weeks, some older. When they are older you get more of an idea of what their size and temperament will be. How many other people have looked at those puppies and didn't want them? She must have been advertising for awhile if she has been trying to find them a home. Something still sounds fishy, and I would definitely take someone with me. You know the old saying "better to be safe, than sorry"
