He is crate trained, has his first two shots, preventative worming, tail and dews are done. He is a very smart boy and loves to play with is toys. He comes with a purse, bed, pee pads, food bowls, blanket and favorite toys. I can also include a 3 generation pedigree if you would like one. Any more questions feel free to call me. I don't think I will ship him because of his size, so if you live out of MI you will have to pick him up. And because of his size I would prefer a home that has experience with tiny pups.
I'm not sure why, but I can't post his photo. I have one on the photo section of the forum that I posted today, I will try to edit this tomorrow.

Adorable:

Is this little Valentine, the little guy with the open fontanel? I thought you were going to keep him.

According to this thread, Ripley and Valentine are the same puppy.

Valentine has Swimmer Puppy Syndrome, too, doesn't he? I hope you find a very special home for this special little puppy.

He is adorable. But, because of his tiny size, maybe your original thought of keeping him would be best. Or "placed" without a fee in an approved home that is knowledgable on how to care for one this small. After all I don't think one would want to sell possible heartache.

You are a good researcher! I think people listing their pups should be honest about their issues, and consistent. I am the mom of a LS baby, and tho the breeder honestly didn't know, I wouldn't want any new puppy owner to go through the pain and financial stress that these special little ones can cause.

Problems, health issues can occur at anytime in any breeder's program. What makes a good breeder is how they handle these issues, should they occur. But, I would hope a breeder wouldn't knowingly pass on heartache to the new family.

Mardelin, you are the best, and may have just saved a potential, unaware owner a lot of heartache and money. Thanls so much for all the good you do.

Hi, Mardelin.

I p.m.'d JudeAnn and offered Ripley/Valentine a home, if she is willing to place him, as you suggested, without a fee.

My husband and I are retired. I spent 35 years raising orphaned wildlife babies, and I am very well experienced in caring for very tiny animals. We are also fortunate to have a great Vet.

Our 1st Yorkie was a tiny, and she experienced health issues in the latter quarter of her 8th year, and was not expected to live to see her 9th birthday.
Not only did she see her 9th, she lived past her 13th.

Sheila,

If I had a puppy as tiny as this wee one, your home would be one I would seriously consider placing the pup in. One that is aware on how to care for a pup with an open fontanel, watch for hyperglycemia, any other problems a tiny might have. A wee one such as this, has high possibility of incurring vet bills. I wouldn't want to do that to anyone. In my words; I would gift a puppy such as this, or any puppy that hasn't reached 2 pounds by 16 weeks of age.

Thank You, Mardelin, I consider that high praise coming from a breeder of your stature.

There is something inside me, that always has the desire to help the animals that need help. I consider it a precious gift. They need so much, and I have the time and love to give to them, what they need.

Sheila

Has anyone heard anything from JudeAnn, regarding Ripley/Valentine?

I've had that little guy on my mind, since yesterday.

Sheila

No, but just checked her profile and her last activity was yesterday at about 3:30 p.m.

Thanks, Mardelin. Feel pretty worried about the little one.

It is always nice to include all info on his health. He is so adorable I wouldn't even know something was wrong with him. 1,000 seems like alot to ask for a disabled pup.. I hope the lady above my post is able to take this baby in and give him a loving home :)

Well the puppy is being advertised elsewhere for $900 with no mention of health issues:

Perfect Mothers Day Present! AKC Tiny Yorkie Pup - 12 weeks. | Emmett | eBay Classifieds (Kijiji) | 3209935

Thank you for your vote of confidence. I feel, as Mardelin says, he should be placed in a good home, with no fee, because he is going to require 24/7 care.
And his medical bills will most likely be quite high, if he is to have a long and healthy life.

Our home is quiet. We have experience with sick baby animals, plus my 1st Yorkie was a tiny and many breeders have been surprised that she lived past 13 years of age,with the health problems she developed.

With one so tiny, hypoglycemia is a great risk that could cause his death. With the open fontanel, he could develop hydrocephalus. And with Swimmers Syndrome, he is going to need a lot of hands on affection.

I guess, I can only hope she loves him enough does the right thing for him.

Well, it is apparent that money is more important than the right home for this sweet little one. He deserves so much better.

Now, I am extremely worried about what his future holds for him.

Oh wow I didn't even see that post. Poor guy I hope whoever gets him is told about his condition :(

I hope so, too. And I pray they have an excellent Vet.

I don't know the story on this adorable little guy and his problems. I only hope he finds his forever home with someone who will love him and take care of his needs.

If you would like to know the story, just read this thread, there are links to other threads about him. It is heartbreaking.

Looks like the ad has been taken down.

Very telling of this breeder's breeding practices.

No, he is still there just go down on that same page just has a new ad #3223037

This person is so wrong in doing this or trying to sell a sick doggie on here and think that no one would say anything about it....pleeeease! :thumbdown

To Saint Marry (Mardelin), Thank you for always speaking up for these lil yorkies :aimeeyork and to all that need help.... your my hero!:thumbup:

To Sheila, when did you fall off the rehab wagon :D....( this is an old joke from a yorkie group we use to belong to because she really rescue all kinds of lil animals geese, dear and so on ) :rose: you have a heart of gold, god bless you old friend.

Well, the ad will be taken down again and again.

Oh, I fell off the rehab wagon when I developed Ankylosing Spondylitis and am no longer allowed to lift the fawns. I could rehab other animals, and as you know, I did so for so many years, but the fawns just tugged at my heart strings. But after reading the post about this little guy, I feel a strong pull to return to it anyway.

God Bless you, too my old friend.

Well here is the latest.
I just don't understand how you sell a puppy with two known health issues for $900-$1000 and no mention of the issues.

Mother is 3 1/2lbs :(

Does anyone have a "Verified Account" on Hoobly to report the ad? You can copy the link to this thread and send it to them.

JudeAnn,

I know you are reading the threads.

So, I am pleading with you, to do the right thing for Valentine and place him in a home that has the experience, and a knowledgeable Vet to take care of him.

Please don't place money ahead of his welfare.

A few years ago, a young couple from New York contacted me. They had bought a puppy like your Valentine. They loved her very much.

But they were not told of her health issues, and by the time they, and their Vet were aware that something was seriously wrong, it was too late and the little one died within a week, in an Intensive Care Unit, leaving behind two very broken hearted parents.

If only they had known the health issues, her life could have been saved.

Sheila

How can a breeder sell a very sick puppy for $1,000.00 to unsuspecting people
not caring the welfare of their own pup or the heartbreak and financial stress
it might cause them? This breeder should be reported to AKC if the pup is
registered there and banned from this site.

There is nothing wrong with Valentine (Ripley).
 

You all need to get the facts. My pup is not a SICK puppy! He was mis-diagnosed with swimmer puppy syndrome, he has been walking normally for weeks! And yes, he does have an open fontenel, but if you ask your vet or read up on this, they can lead normal lives as long as you don't drop them or anything on their heads. He doesn't have hydroencelphalis and the chances of him getting it are nil. If you knew me you would know I would never sell a sick puppy, but you don't know me, yet you judge me? You all need to leave me alone! If you want a free dog, adopt one! Yes, he was born small and I'll never breed his mom again. I was told by the breeder that she was big enough to breed, she free whelped this puppy. I am not breeding any longer and if you took the time to find out anything about me instead of judging me you would know this. Okay, here is a video of the puppy, as you can see, he is fine.
