Everyone I need your opinions
 

I wanted this little yorkie girl before I found Tilula, of coarse T is my permenant side kick now, but the lady who has this other yorkie every now & then says she would like to sell this little girl. I just love her & have wanted her for a year & a half. This little girl is only 3lbs but is 3yrs old so the price is a little high at $1000, I dont think she is papered. One of those "she is but I dont have the, but can get them things" Anyways I have felt like this yorkie should be mine but she always changes her mind, I dont know if its because of love for the dog or she is trying to get more money. Dilema- She wants to sell him now & has her listed for $2000, I think she will let me have her for $1000 but I just bought this little boy yorkie I think 3 will be to much for my family right now. Normally I would just say well I have already committed otherwise but I have wanted this girl so long plusss this is the tough part she is saying the vet gave the ok that at 3lbs the dog is fine to breed. What type of breeder will get her w/o papers at 3lbs to breed??? Maybe none, maybe a really horrible one & I just hate thinking about it. It is harder with females because they may be forced to have babies for years & left to die. I havent became to attached to the little boy we just got & would it be horrible of me to find him a great home so that I could afford price & time wise to save this little girl? I am really upset about it. I did tell her to think about how spoiled this little girl is & how she will be in a strange place thinking "Mommy what did I do to you to deserve this?" Of coarse at many of our homes she would continue to be spoiled, but who will be willing to give $2000 or $1000 for a 3yr old tiny & why? Most people wanting a pet wont be looking for that age. I need a outside view, Advise Please.......

I fill for you. The only thing that I can say is follow your heart. I would want to give that much for a 3 year old. Tiny or not.

good luck.

Personally, I don't think that I could give up the yorkie I just committed to in order to get one that I had wanted in the past. It would totally break my heart.

Also, I think this breeder seems out for the money mostly. I think 2,000 for a 3 year old is crazy, and I think even 1,000 is ridiculous for that age, jmo.

I know it's hard when your heart is involved, but I wouldn't do it. I'd think of my new little yorkie and do what is best for him, which is to keep him with you. Just my .02.

the woman isnt a breeder, she has owned this yorkie as a pet since it was a pet & spoiled it rooten. It has never had pups.

I understand totally where you are coming from, but I don't think I would give up your little boy just yet. Since she knows you and knows how good you would be to her, is it possible that she would woerk out something with you? If not, I think I would find some way to come up with the money. Then down the road, if you feel 3 is too many, then see about re-homing one. Some how I think you will decide to keep all three. I don't notice any more work with 3 than with 3.. and now I have 6.. lol

I thought the same thing. Of coarse hubby will not be happy. But maybe if I tell him I plan to rehome our boy he will let it go & then we will go from there, maybe he will be fine with all of them. I dont ask, then he cant say no.She wants $2000, she is working with me on the $1000. I tried to explain to her that it will be hard to find a good pet only home at the price & age & how horrible it would be if someone got her for breeding but.... I guess I will follow my heart, I hope it leads me to a pile of money.

I don't know if I would do it. Her price seems really high. We got Tilly at 3 years old for much much less than that. Most people aren't going to pay her price for a dog that age. I wouldn't. You might not feel attached to the dog but the dog may be already attached to you. I also wouldn't want to see anything happen to the other dog (the female). I can see where you are coming from. It doesn't sound like the lady really knows what she wants. What if you sold your male and then she backs out? I think I would hold off.

My opinion? If I was in your same shoes, I know what I'd do. I'd buy the girl and keep my boy :) Three is more to love :luvu: Maybe its a sign that she's for sale again. Everything happens for a reason and maybe you were meant to have 3. Good luck to you!!!!

I would definately hold off on rehoming my boy until I had her & see how everything was. I have had the puppy alittle over one week, he was w/his 1st owner 11wks & never missed them at all. He loves Tilula & she him. I just dont want this tiny girl to fall in the wrong hands. The price for the her is to high, but if it saves her... Maybe I will just have to leave it to God.

I've had my little girl for 1 week today, and I've been attached to her since the minute I laid eyes on her..I would think if it were me, I would keep the boy and also try and get the little girl(but for less money)..

Why is she thinking of selling her? Does she need the money that badly to sell her baby who's she spoiled and kept as a pet? Poor little thing, I can see why your heart is torn. We got a rescue who had once been a spoiled house pet and then breeders got hold of him, he had spent so much time in a cage that we had to bring food and water to him and it took a year for him to explore the house. He's great now, but I feel sorry for the years he spent in that cage after being loved on.

Already I don’t like this woman, how could she sell this little one to anyone other than someone she knows who will spoil her rotten. I think she is horrid!

I do sympathize with your position and I would do everything in my power to get her, though I could not abandon my responsibility to the one that I have committed to. Is it possible to pay her something every month or have a family member loan you some money?

I guess because Tilula is my life & I have been working alot. I am amazed by my little guy. He is so smart. I just guest I havent had him long enough to think I cant imagine not having him. But this little girl I have been trying to get for over a year. I will just tell her what I can give & let it go :(

I think she is asking way too much money but... It sounds like this little girl is meant for you so I'd go for it. Three is a lot of work. I have 3 and would never get rid of any of them and I love them all but it's really more work than I wish I had. If you wanted to re-home your little boy, I really see nothing wrong with that. I know you'd find him a wonderful home and you could have the girl you've been wanting and the amount of dogs that your family is comfortable with. Good luck!:)

There is something about this woman that sends up a red flag in my mind. There are times in our life we should use our heads and not our hearts.:)
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!: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 know how you feel I can't read about rescues or see bad breeders selling pups because it breaks my heart and I want to buy them all, so I can protect them and love them. Butn in reality I can't do that, i don't mean to preach but I wouldn't like you to end u in a situation where you would have to get rid of one of your own pups. But hopefully you find your way and everything works out for you.

I would pay that much for a nice female that would improve my breeding program. She would have to be quality and that is what most breeders would expect to pay but I wouldnot purchase a three pounder to breed. And if you are not going to breed her and she has no papers, that is way too high.

Thanks everybody. I am suppose to meet her tomorrow & do a trial with the girl to see what happens. It sounds bad but where I use to foster I kinda trained myself not to get attached to the dogs. Some made that impossible, for some reason I havent bonded with this little boy. When I first saw Tilula I just knew she was my girl & I felt the same way w/this other girl. I dont know.

Good luck tommarow and all you can do is follow your heart:) been there and sometimes it just meant to be;)

I can't wait to hear how it goes. I know just how you feel. I love all dogs and of course have always loved my own dogs but Sugar is the only one I've ever felt was put here on Earth just for me. I've said this before but I think of him as my doggy soul mate. I am so excited for you and hope everything works out.:)

I hope everything works out for you tomorrow! :)

If she had papers I wouldnt think her price too high even though she is 3 years old as in this case you do know what you are getting. Not sure I would pay that much without the papers though. However, how many of us has said they thought the price they paid was high but wouldnt take 10 times that for him/her now? I know that is how I feel about mine. I love them all but we do have those that are a little extra special for whatever reason. Good luck to you whatever you decide to do. :aimeeyork :animal-pa

Well I got her. She took half down & is giving me 3 weeks to make sure it is working out or if she misses her I have to give her back. If all goes good I have until Jan 1, 2008 to pay the rest. We'll see how she adjusts.

...."or if she misses her, you have to give her back?????:eek: That's crazy. As attached as it sounds like you already were to her BEFORE you had her as your own, how are you going to feel if you have to give her back to that lady? Doesn't sound like a good situation to me; she either wants to sell or doesn't:mad: . Hopefully you'll get to keep her.

Tell her to come online and read this thread - we all think it's too high of a price for a 3-year old. I mean, eventually, all Yorkies are *priceless,* but she seems to be pushing it. Good luck and I hope there is a good outcome to the situation! :)

I dont think she will try to take her back. She knows she doesnt have time for her. We will see. I will take her to the vet & make sure she is healthy & go from there. Of coarse being with the lady for 3 years I worry she will miss her mommy & refuse to eat, being so small that could be a problem. I think it will all work out.

I don't think she is being fair or honest with you, and as much as you love her be happy with your little man. He loves you now, and it would be another transition for him to go to another home. Someday the right female will come along at a fair price. For the price she's asking I'd want all the paperwork, and have some proof that she has atleast tried to show her.

What are you going to do with the little boy you just got? Are you keeping him till you know for sure this lady will not take back the 3 year old girl? I hope that things work out for you and you do not get your heart broken if this lady asks for her back. How long is that arrangement good for? Till you pay her off January first? I hope things go good for you, you sounded like you really had to have this little girl! Good luck with her!

What is her name and do you have a picture you can post so we can see this little sweety?We would love to see her!

I hope all things go well for you and all your fur baby's.

Pepper:)

I hope the lady dont want her back.
