A "caring" breeder would never do such a thing.

There is no such thing as a "Free Dog". Ask my sister, who had a beautiful Golden Retriever placed with her, and spent thousands to save her life, only to lose her to cancer.

Nobody wants a "Free Dog". People are basing their feelings on all of your previous posts about this puppy's health.

Your statement, in red, identifies that this pups is a special needs yorkie.

But, your statement of if you want a free dog, adopt one, is very telling. No reputable breeder would sell a pup as this one. Your actions in doing so, only is indicative of attempting to fool those poor, uneducated buyers. Those whose only desire is to have a tiny and will go through any length to obtain one.

I'm not attempting to bash you in anyway...but, it is very upsetting that first your breeder, which should have been your mentor, told you to breed this puppy's mother, provided you incorrect guidance.

Just leave me alone. I did not do anything wrong. Stay out of my life. Yorkieville200, you pm'd me to ask for the puppy, now you are trying to make my life difficult. Report me to AKC? For what, I have done nothing wrong. My puppy has been vet checked, he is very healthy. All dogs have vet bills, I am not selling a heartache as you all would love to think. I've been showing, breeding and selling dogs for almost 30 years, yet you all have me judged as a bad breeder? Okay, thats fine, your opinion, but leave me alone. I am not going to give my puppy away, and yes, I am going to sell him. You continue to flag my ads, I will place them elsewhere. You will flag other post that don't belong to me, and I will report you. I'm done here.

You've been breeding and showing dogs for 30 years, yet you went ahead and bred his mother (a tiny).

I guess we can all find justification in what we do and of course your motivation is very clear.

We have no control over what you are doing with this puppy, our only recourse is to educate those that come to YT looking for a pup.

It's very sad how breeders of a certain caliber use YT as a free method to advertise their pups.

I p.m.'d you and offered to give your special needs puppy a good home. And you accused me of wanting a "free" dog. There is no such thing as a free dog, when they have health issues.

I can certainly afford to buy a puppy from responsible show breeder. All 3 of my Yorkies have come from only the best. I lost my 1st one, a very tiny at the age of 13, after 4 years of helath problem. Believe me, it wasn't "Free" to keep her alive, and happy. And I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

I am not trying to make your life difficult. I am trying to stop you from making a terrible mistake.

In your ads, you have make no mention of his open fontanel. In a puppy so tiny, that is dangerous.

I really wish YT would stop allowing puppy sales here.

I think most of us have those same wishes. But, this is admin's forum and we are here as his guest.

The only thing we can do is educate and alert.

I found this when doing a search on my chihuahua who has an open fontanel. She is almost 2 now and has never had any problems.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Open Fontanel

Congenital open fontanel is seen in several toy dog breeds, but most often it's seen in Chihuahuas. The fontanel is the area at the top of the skull where the bone plates merge. When babies (human and dog) are born the bony plates of the skull are usually partly soft and separated. Usually this area closes to about the size of a dime by the time the puppy is about one year old, but sometimes the bony plates never completely fuse, leaving a hole in the top of the skull that has a soft mushy feel when you touch it. The affected pup can still live a long, full and active life.

The major difficulty with owning a Chihuahua with an open fontanel is the stress for the owner - the constant concern that the spot will be damaged. The Chihuahua with an open fontanel will be as active as any Chihuahua with a closed fontanel. As long as the owner takes a few precautions most Chihuahuas do just fine. Precautions the owner should take include protecting the Chihuahua from being hit on the head, preventing situations where the Chihuahua might fall and not allowing the Chihuahua to jump from furniture, beds, etc. It is not recommended that a Chihuahua with an open fontanel be added to a family with very young children.

There is no treatment for an open fontanel. Since open fontanels are either hereditary or genetic, once a good breeder determines which parent dog carries the gene the parent dog should be retired from the breeding program and spayed or neutered. Chihuahuas with open fontanels should not be bred.

He is not a special needs puppy! My goodness.

Thank you! Mom is going to my sister as soon as puppy is placed. I quit breeding very soon after this puppy was born.

Thank you!

Any pup with an opening in their skull (open fontanel) IS a special needs pup! How could you think otherwise??? If you had a hole in your skull wouldn't you think of it as a medical condition that needs special care?

[shodanusmc]

Any buyer has the right to know of the condition. Will you be selling him with a little Hockey Helmet to protect his skull. I agree with the others, he is special needs. You should keep him, or give him away for free to a loving family that will give him the special care he will need. It happens, but do the right thing.

Anyone knows that there is no free puppy, especially this one.
