Yorkie(s) For Sale: 2: one, male and one, female.

Age of Yorkie(s): Male is almost 9 months, girl is almost 7 months

Weight of Yorkie(s) parents: Male's parents 4 1/2 pounds and 5 1/2 pounds. Female parents 5 and 5 1/2

Current weight of Yorkie(s) for sale: Male is almost 5 pounds and female is 3 pounds

Registration if any (AKC, etc): Male is CKC and female is AKC

Price: Male is $850 and female is $1000

Age when puppies will be ready to be taken home: Now

Do you ship your Yorkies: no.

These two puppies are my babies. I've had the male since he was 9 weeks old and the female since 8 weeks old. Unfortunately, due to issues with my pregnancy, I'm no longer able to care for them how I feel they need to be cared for. Due to being on bed rest, I'm not able to work with them and train them to be the family member I feel they can be. I'm finding new homes for them, in hopes of giving them a good shot at being the loving, obedient and well behaved pets, I know they can be. This is quite honestly, breaking my heart to have to find new homes for my babies, but I know that it is best for them. I have agonized and cried over this decision. they are really very good dogs and I've wanted them all my life, but unfortunately, due to health reasons with my pregnancy, I can't take care of them how I feel they need to be cared for. The female, will NOT be able to be bred and she will not go to anyone wishing to get her for that reason. She is way too tiny!! Both of them will come with all of their toys, leash/collars and harnesses, along with their crates and their beds. As well as, if the buyer wishes, all of their vaccines (we've been vaccinating them ourselves).
I will post pictures as soon as I get back home and on my computer, which probably won't be until Sunday or Monday.
Feel free to email or pm with any questions.

Hi Melanie, I'm so sorry you are having to rehome your lil ones. I know it has to be so hard I just can't imagine having to give up my lil Smoochie.He is 7 mths. old and 2.5 pounds. We go to the vet friday to see about neutering him.I have just started my search for a brother or sister for him. He is such a sweet lil fella and loves everyone. I look forward to seeing pictures of your babies I live in Williamsburg Va. I have family in Colonial Heights Va. Blessings Rhonda

I'm so sorry to hear that you are having to rehome your furbabies, but you must do what is best for them AND you. I know it is a hard decision. Will you rehome them together or can they be separated?

mommyof2 · 09-07-2006, 02:24 PM

Thanks guys for your kind words. It has been a difficult decision and one that I've fought over. I've tried to ask friends and family to help with them, until (hopefully) things get lined out with my pregnancy. But unfortunately, no one is can help. I have two other skin babies and everyone is pitching in to help with them. I hate to give them up, as the issues with my pregnancy hopefully won't last for long, but there is a great possiblity that I'm having twins. If that's case, there is going to be soooo much on my plate and I know (as much as I hate to admit) the puppies will be put on the back burner during everything.
I will try to post pictures as soon as I possibly can. I, of course, would LOVE for them to go together! but I know, deep down, that is virtually impossible. If someone is willing to take both of them home, that would make me very happy, as these two get along very well. But I know that they will be fine one way or the other. They get along really well, so I know that if they are "adopted" by a family with other dogs, they will be fine! They are well socialized. I think that both of them would do great in a single pet home, as well.
They already know some simple commands, such as sit, come, stay (we're working on that) and Dixie, she can dance and will dance all night, as long as you have a treat for her!
I will see if I can't find some pictures on my husband's laptop, as we are out of town, because my mother in law is in intensive care, with lung cancer.
As you probably have guessed, thing are real stressful for me right now and my OB has advised, very strongly, to "lighten my load".
Again, thanks for the kind words and the reassurance that what I'm doing is right, for everyone. I know my pups will find good and loving homes, with someone that loves and cares for them as much as I do!

bao2bei · 09-07-2006, 03:03 PM

Sorry that you have to let them go.
I can totally see the heavy workload on you during preganancy.

Good luck on finding them a loving forever home.
I'm sure that they will be loved & cared just like you are used to.

mommyof2 · 09-09-2006, 07:30 AM

Just wanted to bump this up.

kitty · 09-09-2006, 07:37 AM

I'm sorry you have to give your babies up. If I were closer to you I'd take them and care for them until you were able to again down the road. I hope you well. I know you'll have no problems finding good loving homes for your babies. Best wishes.

mommyof2 · 09-09-2006, 09:29 AM

Kitty~
Thank you for the kind words. I've tried to find someone near me that would take them for a little while, but it's a lot to ask.
We also just found out that my mother in law's lung cancer has spread and it's the aggressive kind. So we will be needing to help her and the rest of family during this difficult time.
I just hope that my puppies will find good homes.
Thank you again.
Melanie

AngelandLily · 09-09-2006, 09:56 AM

I'm willing to spoil at my cost your pups til you can take them home. I hate to see anyone lose thier puppers. Please think of this. I can opne my home for as long as you need.

mommyof2 · 09-09-2006, 10:01 AM

Oh my goodness! I just can't believe someone would be willing to do that for us! I'm going to have to check to see how far away!
Thank you so much for offering!
Melanie

AngelandLily · 09-09-2006, 10:25 AM

What an awesome offer!!!!!

I hope you two can work this out!

bao2bei · 09-11-2006, 02:35 PM

Awww~ AngelandLily,
you are so sweet~

Hopefully Melanie can get back w/ her babies when everything is solved.

mommyof2 · 09-11-2006, 05:47 PM

Well, I just can't believe how wonderful and caring yorkie people are!! I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone for your offer to help me and my puppies!!

I mentioned to my parents that there were a couple of people on yorkietalk that offered to keep Yogi and Dixie for me, just so I wouldn't have to sell them.

I think it was then that they all finally realized how extremely overloaded I am. I don't think they really realized it, until I told them that I had put them up for sale and that complete strangers were willing to help me. So...(drumroll.....) They are going to keep my babies, until my doc takes me off of bed rest or until I have our new baby, or for however long I need them to!! I get to keep my babies and they will be with my parents, only 20 minutes away!

I just wanted to let everyone know and say "THANK YOU!" to everyone for their support and generous offers to help me keep my puppies!

Melanie
