Desperate!!
 

Hi, I am so desperate for a male yorkie around 2 months or less by November 15th! My moms birthday is coming up and she really wants another dog a boy only! I don't have much money around 250-300! I am really really desperate. Please email me if you know anyone or if you are selling yorkies that fir my search criteria....age and gender is very crucial.

Thank You, BluBabe713@aol.com:animal36

check rescue places

Less than 8 weeks is REALLY young. Good breeders usually keep their puppies with their moms until they are 12 weeks old or more to ensure a healthy happy puppy. Health should also be a factor as well. If you're desperate you might want to consider some give and take in your criteria. You can also consider just getting your mom a box with puppy stuff in it like a chew toy and blanket with a card saying that you are saving to get her a puppy. This way she can help pick him out with you and there isn't a possiblity that it didn't "fit her criteria" as well.
Good luck

I do not mean to be the voice of doom and gloom but..........
If you want a full bred Yorkie puppy, it is going to be virtually impossible to get one for $200-$300.
Even non AKC registry eligible Yorkie pups are around the $600.00 - $850.00 range. If you want a puppy that is from a reputable breeder and is AKC registered with a good lineage background--you have to expect paying well over $1,000.00.
Even the "designer" breeds like a Yorkiepoo are almost $1,000.00. And they are not even a recognized breed with AKC.
Sorry to be negative, but this is reality.

Me Again
 

Thanks for your support and feed back and I realized that I should get a puppy a bit more older I originally wanted one that was 12-16 weeks old. And you can get puppies that can be registered in AKC and the other kennel clubs for around my price. My aunt has a girl Brandy for that price and she only payed 300 although she bargained from a 350 original price...but I guess its because she lives in Alabama....eveything is cheaper in the south! LOL. But once again thank you. Also if you know anyone who is giving away a puppy or less than 300 thats a boy post here please.

P.S. Thank you for replying and letting me know what I was getting into! And thanks for letting me know about the different prices, kennel clubs, and ages that were more appropriate or should I say leaving mommy friendly.

Yours Truly,

Good Luck on your search. Maybe you could get with your aunts breeder and see if she has any available. There aren't many out there at that price. Were you looking for a standard sized one, 4 to 7 pounds? The larger ones usually run cheaper.

I agree with Jeanie, contact your aunts breeder and maybe she will have a puppy for you, in your price range. I have to say, that I am amazed that your aunt got a yorkie puppy that cheap. I have contacted many people regarding a Yorkie puppy in the past 6-7 weeks. I did see that the breeders in the Southern states were much cheaper than ones from the NY/NJ/PA area. But even still, the cheapest tiny Yorkie puppies I have come across were from Kentucky and they were $800.00. Those puppies are not AKC eligible and never will be because their parents are not AKC registered. They are ACA registered, but that is a much, much lower and less sought after registry. I am not saying the AKC registration is the be all and end all; many great dogs are not AKC. But for those that this is important: if you want to show or breed the dog; AKC registry is vital. Also AKC standards for the breeding of the pups is more regulated and strict. This is what you are paying for. The better the lineage of the dog and the smaller they are--the more they cost.
Good luck in finding your baby!

Why are people still asking for free yorkies on here?:mad:

Please read the sticky at the top.

We do not allow begging for free puppies or puppies at extreme reduced costs. Feel free to PM sellers with an offer, but the public forum is not a place to beg or whine for a Yorkie.

2 months or less is way much too young for a puppy to go in a new home .

Desperate peoples are excellent prays for unscrupulous breeders .

Please just be careful of scammers. $300 is honestly unrealistic for a yorkie puppy. If you find anyone offering that price it is most likely a scam or a sick puppy. If you find someone on the internet selling for that price, or worse, for free, run in the other direction. If something is too good to be true, it usually is. You have to think for yourself, if a yorkie is free, then why can't they find it a nice home locally? Good luck, I hope you get your yorkie, just save up some money and do your research and get a quality puppy.

I agree..........please be careful. Good luck ;)

HA! I would LOVE to know where she found one for that price down here!:rolleyes: As someone who breeds and lives in the South-in Alabama....I can honestly say this is not an accurate statement. I have NEVER seen a Yorkie, from a GOOD breeder (or even a bad one, for that matter) go for that price.

Hello! If you go into search and look for this breeder she had Male Yorkies for $500.00. Maybe you can contact her and see what she can do!! Hope this helps

wow....whoever would sell a yorkie for less than $800 would scare me. the least expensive in my area is 1200.00.
why does gender and age a"crucial" criteria???
also, it was mention in this thread that "We do not allow begging for free puppies or puppies at extreme reduced costs. Feel free to PM sellers with an offer, but the public forum is not a place to beg or whine for a Yorkie."

I really don't think a pet is a good gift, because you really don't know how it would be taken care of. I would never want anyone to feel obligated to care for an animal, so I think you should just get her puppy stuff and let your mom pick out her own puppy if thats what she wants. Good luck finding a healthy puppy for $300. You can find a puppy at the shelter for that much, maybe a little less. No GOOD breeder would sell their pups for that much unless they were mixed. :thumbdown

First of all, best of luck to you on your search for a puppy for your mom. The price range you are looking for is not out of the question for an older dog or rescue but for a puppy, you can expect to pay more - even here in the south. Although my Gabby was not "cheap", she was not expensive either - I paid $500 for her. My first yorkie, who I purchased in the greater New Orleans area several year before, cost me over $600. The difference in price and years? Geographical location, and nothing more, is what I believe. Keep looking and I'm sure you'll find the right one you're looking for in your price range but just know you probably won't find it as a puppy unless you find one that's up for rescue adoption. Best of luck!

I agree with the above post. First make sure you Mom even wants a dog, espeically a puppy. My Dad wanted a small dog also when he recently moved from FL to NJ. He is someone who has always had small dogs including several Yorkies--but it has been about 5 years since his last Yorkie left us. Also a factor that changed is my Dad now lives in a condo vs a house. To make a long story short-my Dad babsat for my Jazzy Girl who is 4 yo Shih Tzu that is very, very well trained and who my Dad LOVES. Well after 3 nights of babysitting Jazzy, out of a week--he called my adult daughter and asked her to take Jazzy until I got home. My Dad found it was much more difficult to have a dog in a condo--- where you must get up , take an elevator etc.,sometimes in the middle of the night, for them to go potty, get exercise etc. Compared to living in a house with a completely fenced in yard, a doggie door, etc. My Dad is now very content babysitting Jazzy for no more than a night or 2. Both of them seem happy with this arrangement, so all is good. Jazzy dearly loves her Pop Pop but after a night or 2 sleepovers at Pop-Pops--she is ready to come home to her backyard--that she loves dearly.
A puppy requires a lot more attention than an adult dog. I agree a rescue Yorkie is going to be your best bet. But they are not easy to come by either. A lot of the rescue organizations only allow adoption to a certain area. They all have a fairly long waiting list. Many of the dogs through rescue that are younger have health problems like blindness, liver shunt, etc.
If it was me, I would: first make sure your Mom wants and can care for a dog. Then I would contact all the Animal Shelters in your area. I will admit little dogs are very hard to come by, at the Shelters. But you can get on a waiting list. That is how I got my Jazzy Girl and she is full bred Shih Tzu, that belonged to a sr citizen that passed away. The family did not want the dog and turned her over to our local Animal Shelter along with her AKC registry/parents lineage, etc., papers. She was 3 years old, but has been definitely one of the greatest dogs, I have ever had. And we have had dogs, cats and birds my entire life.
Again good luck in finding the dog that was meant to be in your family. I have found over many years and many pets-- that when the right pet is meant for you-- if will come into your life. That is the way it has always worked for us, and we have gotten pets in everyway possible. From paying substanial amounts to breeders; to dogs/cats deciding our home was where they had to give birth--and then never left; to us rescuing them on the road after they had been hit and left like a piece of trash.
Good luck!

Come on....
 

Gang, the OP sounds like she is very young. So, in making your comments, remember she is.

Secondly, I have seen yorkies in her price range. Not from show people, and probably not of the correct size....but, in the Tennesseean they do have them. I just would not buy one....LOL

Most importantly, with this poster, is she came to us for advice and help.....and guess what........that is what we are here to do........just remember we were all YOUNG once, some a REALLY long time ago....lol.

Maybe she will/has realized that her age requirement and price is a little more difficult to find......but, lets not discourage her from her desire to give her Mother such a wonderful gift.....a gift of "yorkie love", baring her Mother is open to having a Yorkie.

I say, Good Luck..

If you do find some pups for that price please let me know i am looking for another female..Already have her name picked out..DOLLY..
so that would SISSY...DAISY....DOLLY ( hopeing to get her for xmas)
