Thankfully, people on here that had more knowledge about a couple of people than I did, saved me from selling my puppies to bad homes.

Thats great that Yt members pm'ed and warned you about them. Long ago I had this lady who I did meet and meet with her husband and her daughter and even went to their house and let them visit a few times before I let them have a pup. and then her mother wanted one from the same litter and so I meet with her and let her have one. a few months later I went to visit them, They had said I could in the beginning. well The dog was in a crate and when she let her out she peed every where, she was very scared. the older lady said she dosent let her run her house because of it being new and all. yes the dog looked well feed but not cared for like I had hoped. the next year both daughter and mother came to my door asking if I had any puppies. I said no and they said both of theirs had gotton hit and wanted another. they said after they got bigger they just let them run and not having a fenced in yard they both got in the road. The next litter I had I did not sell to them. I then added to my applications fenced in yards.

If you run a local ad, they can come and see you and you can bring the puppy to them after you check references. It really could be the best way to get her a new home.

Awe, I am soo sorry. Hopefully Piper will get better ASAP!!

Go to a groomer..usually she will know if someone is looking and if they have dogs / cats ..or she can spread the word for you.
she can tell if they are well aken care. That is how I found Daisy a new home. A family with a netured male yorkie very well care for.
and she is right down the road I can see her play.

Personally I wouldn't put an ad in the paper if I were you. With our last litter we decided to try it for the first time and I wasn't impressed at all. The ad was pretty expensive to start off with and the few people that did call weren't the kind of people I'd want to sell my babies to anyways. Just my experience, but none of them knew the first thing about yorkies- just wanted any dog and one wanted to give it as a gift (to someone who didn't mention anything about getting a dog little lone a yorkie!). Word of mouth and vets office is probably best bet. And if you can't sell her on here, I also used local.com which didn't seem too bad. Whoever you do end up selling to I'd recommend first time they come over to see her and you meet them and then they come a separate time to pick her up. Good luck!

OMG that is so sad! If someone said they had lost their yorkie like that I'd feel sorry for them but don't think I could sell any of mine to them. And for the ones who got hit to have been from one of your litters- I can't even imagine

I just wouldnt couldnt do it with out meeting them. atleast by a local ad you would get to know the person and see how your dogs get along with them.

Ditto!

why doesn't she simply answer here? How do we know where to look for the answer??? Or am I missing something???

Yorkiekids · 10-23-2007, 06:02 AM

Penny needs all the attention in the house and with the others I have I can't give her all the attention she needs. I'd like to see her as an only dog where she could get all the attention she wants and needs. Sorry I didn't answer sooner, but I have another thread about it.

Not bad, but I would be cautious that she does not wind up at a puppy mill, which is most likely going to be her new home. BE CAREFUL. Where do you live? I have a friend in new york who desperately wants a puppy for his wife and he still has not found one.

soccbydo · 10-23-2007, 06:06 AM

Wait, did I miss something? she isnt a new puppy?
