You did not answer those questions, which as a "wannabe" breeder you should know the answers to, backwards and forwards. LP, BATS is quite frankly something so commonly known I'm quite surprised you did not immediately have the answer.
You also should have had those answers on the parents of this puppy you needed to rehome.

yea, so your point is? that was about suitability- not money... it was a couple looking a registered 'teacup' for their 6yr olds bday! i was the only one with a reg tiny at the time- but relevance! the point of that sttement was the its always about whats best for the dog in question bit.

“I would like to have Izzy but I want to know some things about her first.

I am very interested but trying to be sensible too.

It is not that I am having doubts, I am trying to learn a little more about her.

My emotions are HIGH right now and I want her. But I want to do it right and ask questions -- I want to be an informed buyer. I would think you'd expect me to ask a lot of questions and you would know how serious I am because of that.

I can't believe I am doing this -- haven't even gotten dressed yet this morning as all I have thought about is Izzy since I saw your post with her picture. I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon, so I need to get on the ball. I will look forward to hearing from you again. Thanks a million for the pictures -- they are fantastic -- one just as cute as the other! You can manage toget a cute picture from about any yorkie but it is difficult to get so many adorable shots of one pup unless she is a true beauty! I even LOVE her name! It fits her! I found myself practice calling them, "Annie, Izzy, Ben and Candy"

I am in love! Having a time of it trying to be sensible and take my time. If you were local, she'd probably already be in my arms. :)


And here are all of my unreasonable questions:

Can you send me a copy of your sales contract?

Would you consider having her bile acid tested if she has not been so far?

How is her bite/teeth alignment? Can you give me her dimensions? Hgt/Length/girth?

Can you feel the knees slip in and out of joint when you bend them? Sign of LP.
Were dew claws removed when tail was docked? How are her teeth? Any baby teeth retained? Has she had a dental? Does she have tartar build up? Even though she is not being bought to breed or show, I am still interested in the quality of her breeding and health history. I hope this makes sense and you understand where I am coming from."

I just do not understand at all -- I was not being unreasonable at all. I even got down to the point, I was going to get her as long as I could get 2 answers -- liver shunt and lp/joints? But I never got that much. :(

I am not trying to get you to change your mind and would have let it go with one post but you made several saying I never said I wanted her and that I made you feel manhandled -- I needed to clear that up. I even told you it was not at all about the money -- it was important that I know things before adding her to my family. That is just plain common sense and CARING about both Izzy and the dogs I already have.

Debra, I'm so sorry you had such a bad experience. I was excited when I saw your post on the other thread where you said you were very interested in this little girl - I was so excited and happy for you.

I just brought home a little girl from another YT member (SRD) and I had the exact opposite experience - this is the experience I would have wished for you as well. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...test-home.html

I don't understand why anyone wouldn't be open and honest and welcome questions if they sincerely want to find the RIGHT home for their little one. :confused:

Since I could not get any health-related info, I was trying to see if she was in good proportion -- in other words, that she was not extra skinny instead of just a small dog. It was hard to tell with just the first pictures. I was trying to find something that she could easily answer herself since she did not seem to have any records to answer most of my questions. Good proportions would be a sign of good health, although I really wanted to hear about testing. I was grasping for any information that could justify completing the deal.

also, my situation and your situation- not the same. you didn't do the same as me, because you were not vetting puppy homes in the same way (different than placing a spayed older dog as we do not normally have spay/neuter clauses), and had her sold within hours. you didnt answer all the questions to all the potentials, so you cannot be 100% it was the Best home- although i'm sure she will be treated like a princess by anyone.

anyway, good luck with your future breeding and research for it- there is after all tons.

Also YES she is AKC... I have not sent them off and to do so after 1 yr is a difference of 20 dollars... I beleive it is 16 before a yr n 36 after... Come on ladies this is a lil petty... I thought this site was for yorkie lovers not yorkie lovers to bash one another. I think I have done the resposible thing.

Nope it's 20 prior to a year and 50 after a year.......

All anyone is doing is pointing out inconsistencies....If questions are being asked of a breeder and valid questions a breeder/seller should have no hesitation in answering them.

No one is bashing or ripping you apart..Debra asked questions, she didn't get her answers.....

I just think this whole thing sounds shady! I'm sure the perfect dog will come along for you soon!! I'm sure you must be so sad right now but it doesn't sounds like it was meant to be. The right dog and right breeder will be coming along Debra!! Keep your head up! :hug:
