i just read all the posts and something isn't sitting well with me....I applaud you for knowing or feeling that this little boy isn't a good fit for you and he deserves to be in a home where he can become a part of the family as Tilula has become a part of yours. But I am highly uncomfortable about this woman who is trying to sell Lola. Even though you have a 'contract' to purchase Lola, it seems like she is just trying to sell that poor little girl for the highest bidder. You have Lola and this woman is STILL trying to sell her on petfinder

??? That makes no sense to me

. Honestly, I think that $2000 for a yorkie without papers is OUTRAGEOUS! But what if someone falls in love with Lola as you have (she's such a cutie, btw

and is able to pay any amount of money for her. This woman has the right to 'change her mind' and take her from you just so she can sell her to someone who is able to pay more??? I sincerely hope everything works out for you and this little girl but I'm skeptical about this woman...

I was thinking that too. This woman wants so much money for Lola but you are going to have to pay for spaying plus teeth extraction. You may very well be paying over $2000 for this dog when all is said and done. When you take her to the vet, maybe if he/she can put something in writing about everything that needs to be done for this little girl and the cost of it all, then you can take it back to this woman as leverage to get her to lower the price.

I agree with a previous poster. Either have "the lady" come here to read this thread, or print it out for her. Perhaps if she sees responses, she'll see how cruel she is.

........hopefully like you said you have given this situation to God.........you sound ok w everything and even tho it isn't the best scenario w this breeder it was evident from your first post you are in love w this little girl ......don't feel guilty about the little boy..........if you have not bonded w him it may be that he will have a better life in another home and it is apparent you want to find that for him so that is really ok..........there is absolutely nothing wrong w that........go with your gut and find him a perfect home and be excited for him just as you should be excited about your new little princess!!! Congratulations!!!

I dont want to tick her off & out of spite she will take her back. I just want this to all get settled. I normally dont let myself get in this situations. I feel I have used my head & my head says i can not let that little girl go & not know what happened to her, she mine mine mine-ok my head may be alittle crazy right now but if I thought the little guy would not adjust no way would I let him go anywhere. He is content being home alone for a few hours, I take T & leave him now because he's to young to be on the road for 11 hrs straight, but I take him on short trips & he enjoys that. He doesnt know a stranger yet.

adorame · 10-28-2007, 10:42 AM

What kind of contract do you have with this lady? I know that you see her as your dog mow, but if their is any written arrangements then Legally you have to follow them. If she wants to take the girl back, then she will have the law on her side even tho you have the best interest for her. I really hope that you do not end up having to deal with this lady wanting her back. This lady sounds sneaky having her posted on petfinder like that when she already made arrangements with you, I would have trouble believing she intends for you to end up with her.

sweetr72 · 10-28-2007, 11:01 AM

I also wanted to add..make sure if she is microchipped you get that changed also...apparently after the whole Ellen Degeneres ordeal..as long as the microchip is in her name its her dog..just some food for thought lol..I hope you get to keep her..

Congratulations on your new little girl. She is beautiful! I hope everything works out for you.

makemepretty · 10-28-2007, 12:20 PM

Is that Lola? That lady listed her off and on so many times! I felt so bad for her. I'm glad you got her though, I had thought about getting her at one time.

That lady sucks IMHO, that dog had her own web page and everything. She kept saying she was 2 pounds last year. If this is the dog I'm thinking it is.

I posted after seeing the pictures and not reading all the reply's, I KNEW it was her! How could she not love her???? I watched all last year as she listed and unlisted that poor girl all the way up to $3,000.

makemepretty · 10-28-2007, 12:29 PM

I'm so glad you got her! I watched that poor yorkie be listed on and off for a year(I only saw the price go up as high as $3,000 though). I wanted her but had just gotten my own Lola a short time before and was broke. I'm happy to know that she found a loving home because her previous owner seemed beyond shallow and heartless. Yay for Lola and you!

I had a myspace page so I'd see her for sale now and then on her own webpage

I just wanted to let you know that I'm glad she found a nice home with a YT'er. Sometimes you can't buy every yorkie you see out there but there are a few that you wish you could have and she was one of them.

jadjem · 10-28-2007, 01:22 PM

Did she give you a receipt for the money you have paid so far? Does this woman have other dogs for sale or is she just sharking this poor dog out when she needs money?

rachelsyorkie · 10-28-2007, 01:52 PM

It is the same lola that has been listed on puppyfind (not petfinder) several times started at $4500, then $3000, now $2000. Maybe you all can inquire about her, ask her about papers, size, age, updated pics, etc bug the heck out of her then tell her you will give her $400 maybe $500 say thats a very fair price. So she will just forget it. She is adjusting
well

I'm not trying to make you mad or hurt your feelings, but you don't sound as if the little boy means very much to you. Have you bonded with him at all? Fur Boys are cool!

$1000 is far to much to be asking for that female. You could use that money and spoil the little boy you have!

I hope whatever makes you happy happens for you.

I agree ... why would she get rid of her pet of three years and then put a price on it ...??? she is hiding something ... and papers ? sounds like she maybe didnt get the dog legally in the first place... beware of her .

How do you go about finding a puppy on that site? I would do that for you, anything to help out

sounds like you really love her already and i so hope you get to keep her

erino77 · 10-28-2007, 02:42 PM

Lola is such a pretty little girl! I sure hope you get to keep her. This lady sounds odd to me though. I hope you don't have to go into hiding ;-) I hope you are able to find a loving home for your little boy. Go with your heart...
