( the pup is 16 months old now) i recommend neutering him. she said she really wants to keep him or find a good home or even if i would like to have him back. she is going to try schooling him in a class to see if that would help. I told her that she is a good person and i hope that she could find him a good home. i sold this pup for only 350. I meet her and her family and her other dogs she has in Nashville. I love all of my yorkies and even have Pepperann's second litter on here for sell now. i keep them all very well socialized with other animals (goats, chickens, horses, like a zoo around here even a cat, jack russell, lhasa apso, rat terrier ( which all the dogs are neutered and are our pets). we go to the flea mkt and other socializing places like petsmart. all the other litter mates are doing well. I am not trying to be mean. i would love this all to work out and i truely believe this is not a fault of mine. we have never had a conflict.

How old was he when she bought him? Maybe the lack of attention do to to many pets/personal zoo w/one owner. Or other issues of first or second home that could have been avoided & hopefully can be corrected w/a new owner. I agree the price is probably more fair at original price for a yorkie w/issues. Since neither wanted to take responsibility & neuter to try to correct the behavior. Well I hope you all can make the best of this sad situation & do whats best for the dog instead of worrying about a loss$ etc. Maybe someone here will contact you with a offer & all will go well.

My heart goes out to the poor little dog, and his face looks like he feels empty. I hope he finds a home where he is the only pup and can be retrained.

Sophie would snap at my granddaughter when she wouldn't leave her alone, and always wanted to pick her up, carry her or try to hold her so she couldn't get away. She didn't mean to hurt Sophie, but she did and Sophie's only way of saying "I am tired of you grabbing me" was to snap (she never cut her skin).

I believe you have to train the children how to treat a Yorkie or any animal. As my granddaughter became older, she understood and Sophie became her friend.

I noticed that his pics are gone? Sad looking or not people will still want to see what he looks like.

It's good to see people putting thier children first but sad to see someone take on the reponsibility of a puppy and not follow through.

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be rude but your first priority here should be getting this puppy in a new home not how much money you are going to make doing it. Whatever you spent in his care was just part of the responsibility that came with owning a dog.

As far as price is concerned Thank you to the breeder for knowing that I did put a lot of time and committment into him. I also let her know that there was a problem. The end result is not about money or what I paid for him but Maximo. It is not about how sad he looks in a picture that is him. There was a verbal offer between the breeder and I nothing written if I wanted to give him back let her know and I did. The breeder and I have never had a conflict over him nor will we ever. I was surprised because I did not say the breeders name I would of never said anything negative about her we make choices in life it is ok if she can't take him back. I wonder how many of us would take a dog back. Everything has been put on the table but Maximos welfare that is sad I will be the person who did wrong by him in this venue. In my house hold my Daughter comes first, I have seen other posts in reference to this I stand firm on this. Sorry the price is as it stands. If you are interested in him PM. I think the negativity will become consuming on this post he is still for sale but I will only look for Private Messages.

You are right, you daughter does come first. Meanwhile, this puppy needs a new loving home and perhaps you are interfering with that by being 'firm on the price'. What are the chances of him getting a good home (one where neutering and further training expenses will be necessary?).........slim-to-none. Anyone could just buy a well-bahaved adult or puppy.

I think we need to get realistic on this serious issue. It's the life of a poor dog here. What if you don't find that loving home? Where else does he have to go? Will he end up at an abusive home who won't know how to handle him? Will he end up at a shelter and possibly put to sleep because they aren't going to treat his issues

No one is trying to point the finger at you or the breeder BUT neither of you took the time to have a contract in place. One that stipulated neutering or where the dog would have to go to if not being able to keep. Neither of you have neutered the dog, and lastly you know you aren't going to make money on him.

I will be praying he doesn't end up at the pound

Yes__ I agree with Jessy.

I would be willing to take him on and do the work because I believe that every dog deserves to be their best and with the right handling can achieve that. I don't see where he's been afforded that. Dogs can't train themselves anymore than children can.

It takes time and work and both need firm boundries coupled with understanding, patience and love.

Without those things you end up with unhappy, out of control children &/or pets.

The reward for putting the effort and time into this dog would be a happy, adjusted dog and companion.

I would not however, spend that kind of money to do it. It's completely unrealistic, sorry.

And for that same unrealistic reason he is missing out on the life he deserves.

I wish that she would lower the price of him. You sound like you would give him a great life! I will pray for him. I hate the idea that someone will get him and they won't give him the proper training to be happy for the rest of his life.

I have never done something like this before, but I keep invisioning him in a 'bad' home. I have $50 that I will donate towards his price for someone 'good' to be able to get him. I wish I had more, but that's all that I can aford right now. Please PM if there is someone serious and I will stand by my offer towards his fee.

That is by far super sweet!!

Thanks! You really inspired me though:

I read your post about -

Will he end up at an abusive home who won't know how to handle him? Will he end up at a shelter and possibly put to sleep because they aren't going to treat his issues.

After reading that, I thought, this is so true, this could possbily happen. It's only $50 - I wish I could do more - I just hope everything works out for this little fellow - I feel in my heart that he just needs the RIGHT CHANCE, I truly hope he gets it

Well, in defense of that, I have a mini zoo also. Yet, for some odd reason my zoo all gets along, all inside animals and all get lots of love and attention. Very spoiled, vet appts., top food, toys and beds.

With that said, it is obvious this is not a match made in heaven. I really don't understand the money issue. Why the need to make such a big profit on this now adult dog (who has issues). Of course the daughter has to come first, but right along with putting the daughter first, it seems that a very high dollar amount (firm in price) comes first also. Hmmmmm. JMO though.

What a big heart you have!

I don't know who would pay $750 to "rehome" this dog and then $200+ for neutering and meds for fleas/heartworm etc and also invest the time and energy to get him back where he should be with socialization and all.

Most people who are going to spend that kind of money are going to opt to get a puppy with a clean slate to train and love.

This is all common sense and I'm very confused how they think otherwise on this.

[Looking4Shorkie]

I think you are all very hard on people who are trying to do the right thing. I see this over and over again in threads. Yes, every dog deserves to have the time and effort put into them by their owners, but some dogs (like this one) require more time and effort than one anticipates. It is not that the dog is not being taken care of. He is not matted or dirty or sick- HE IS AGGRESSIVE. It was not something that someone did to him- not the breeder or his current owner. There are 9 kids in my boyfriend's family- one is a business owner, another is a teacher, another works for the post office, a few are construction workers, one is a nurse and there is one brother, not the oldest, not the youngest, somewhere in the top 4 I think, but he has been in jail almost his enitre life for drugs, violence, etc. Not one other sibling has seen the inside of a jail cell. 1 out of 9. They were all raised the same way, by the same parents. So if you all want to blame the breeder because of her "zoo" or the current owner because she isn't committing to a dog that is just aggressive by pure chance, then go right ahead, but maybe you should stand back and see this for what it really is. It is an owner who wants to find another home for a dog that has special needs that she is not able to accomidate.


(However I do agree $750 is quite a bit to be asking for a re-homing, esp. when the breeder only charged $350)

Welcome to YT.

I'm not sure anyone has been harsh in this thread but can only speak to my own posts.

I went out of my way to word my post without any personal attack.

Truely I was hoping to spark a realisation here that asking so much money isn't realistic in this particular situation.

Maybe you know the seller personally and have more of a window into the picture other than what has been said?

The issue is this poor dog finding a loving and caring home as he cannot continue to live where he is now. I know it's not matted and dirty but he is sad and no longer welcomed where he is at.

The *best* thing for the dog's sake is to REHOME him and not SELL him. I would take a monetary loss anyday than having to live with a dog who is miserable and a potential hazard to my family. Why be selfish and deny him that opportunity........who loses at the end? THE POOR DOG!
