Mojo is ready for bed, but he wanted to send hugs to Paris & you!! :luvu: Attachment 125769Attachment 125770, Mojo

oh no!! I am so sorry you have to put Paris up for adoption.. I would take her in a heartbeat but unfortunately we're living with my bf's parents right now. I don't think your asking price is too much.. you're girls are your girls.. they're pampered and spoiled and I know you only want the best for her.. and if someone can't deal with that.. then too bad!

I don't know why you have to rehome Paris.. but have you thought about maybe having someone "babysit" her until things go back to normal? oh how I wish the deal on the house already went through:rolleyes: :(

oh no! i'm so sorry kathryn and sorry paris!!! this has to be a very difficult time for you .. kikko and i send you lots of hugs and kisses.

If i were still in CA I would totally take her in a heartbeat!!!! honestly i would want an older dog, the potty training is killing me right now.. haha :rolleyes: good luck in find her a home.

and jenn .. love your pic of mojo!!

Paris is gorgeous! I hope she finds a good home!:)

I think Paris is absolutely gorgeous and I hope she finds an amazing home. If I hadn't just added my last fur baby to the household, I would have definitely been interested!

Paris is goregeus!! Too bad I'm all the way in New York. Good luck.

Kathryn~ you are right in asking what you're asking. People may find dogs in other states for a lot less, but in CA, it's pretty hard to find such a great quality dog, esp. a female, for much less. I paid almost what you're asking for Max, and he's a male AND isn't AKC (which doesn't matter a whit to me, b/c he's my companion, not a showdog)....and your thinking is spot on.....you want someone who will be able to afford to care for Paris (it's not just the initial cost of buying a dog, as we ALL have found out), and when you pay more for something, (I DON'T mean that rescue dogs or adoption dogs who cost less are any less valued, so don't bash me on that statement), you tend to appreciate it more. Or you're less likely to just pass it on. I know when I spent $2400 for a bird, I was a lot more willing to be patient with him and deal with his quirks than if I'd paid $300 for him. And if I'd had to sell him, I'd be asking probably $50,000 for him, after all the damage he did to walls, carpets, window sills, draperies, furniture, etc etc:rolleyes: You want someone who'll think twice before they decide that it wasn't what they signed up for. You don't need to aplogize for anything. I only wish I could buy her:D . I know you'll find a wonderful home for her.

She Is An Absolute Beauty!!!!!!

Kathryn, since you mentioned that you did not want her to end up with a backyard breeder and by reducing the price you felt that might happen, why not have her spayed so she'll stay someone's cherished pet as she's been? That may be a good option. Also, in so far as pricing goes just because someone CAN pay the price you're asking doesn't make them the perfect home. Quite a few people that may not or cannot pay $1400 for an almost two year old Yorkie doesn't mean that they will not care for her. I'm trying to argue price or anything just making some points. I had a Golden Retriever that we had long before we ever had Yorkies. After we got him, we found out my son has allergy triggered Asthma and we had no choice but to part with him. We paid a lot for him and had him sold where we could have gotten most of our $$ back BUT we found a BETTER home with someone that had just lost their old sheepdog. We ended up giving him to that family, and were better knowing that Yes, we lost money but in the long run we knew we could sleep well at night knowing he was cared for. I hope thing work out well for your girl. Best of luck. Elaine

i am not sure why people are complaining that this price is too much for an unspayed girl with such good bloodlines at this age. as a breeder who is Btw, NOT LOOKING before you start, i know kathryn is taking a hit in the pocket book on this one. this dog is worth more than a twelve week old puppy would be. Also, not every breeder would "breed her to death". believe it or not, there are lots of good breeders that don't fall into the category of BYB. good luck with placing her and I am so sorry you can't keep her. she is beautiful!

I knew someone would pick up that bone! I stipulated that just b/c someone paid that much didnt' mean that they were the perfect home, but would most likely be LESS likely to take her for granted. I'm sure there's a gazillion people out there that can't afford to pay that much for a dog (or another dog); I'm one of them. I'd LOVE to give her a forever home and I KNOW I'd give her a good home, but the fact is, that Kathryn wants to sell her and try to recoup at least some of the money she's put into her. That doesn't mean she loves Paris any less. And she's obviously trying to do the best thing for the dog, her family and the new owners. Kind of make the best out of a bad situation. Even though at this point, I can't afford to lay out that amount of cash, I don't see a thing wrong with what she's asking. Said with all due respect.

Iam so sorry you have to rehome your beautiful little girl, i hope things work out for you and her, sending you a prayer:) :love:

Paris Has found a fabulous home! And as it turns out its with a good friend of mine! I'm very excited and am happy that I will still be able to keep in touch with her! I know for a fact that she will be spoiled rotten! Thank you to those of you who wished me well and offered good thoughts and prayers for a good home for Paris. For those of you who did not..... I wish you well and hope that life smiles on you as it has on me. Good things come to good people.


Be good to each other.... It all comes around. ;)

I'm so happy that you found a home for her. And since it's a friend & you'll get to see her that's even better! Congratulations to both of you. I hope she does well in her new home.

Woohoo!! I'm so happy for you and Paris!!! How wonderful :)

YAY! Boy am I relieved, I came this {} close to seriously considering giving her a new forever home. I knew it was not in my parent's best interest to have me haul down three pups to their home every week, but on the other hand I was worried for her, and Kathryn. Now, my brain doesn't have to be over-taxed any longer........:cool:

Congratulations Kathryn that things worked out for all concerned........

I LOVE you Janell! You would have too, I really do believe that. Your such a good friend! I really am blessed to know you!

Thanks for the support girl!

Dang, I am always a day late and a dollar short as they say.
Whoever bought her got a great deal as far as I am concerned. She is beautiful and I know of another member here who would have snatched her up if they had seen this in time. Congratulation to whoever got this little beauty.

I just wanted to add that I have purchased several dogs and have never gotten one at this great price especially since she is obviously a nice quality dog. The people that are saying she was too expensive dont have a clue what a good quality dog costs.

I know you asked to close this thread but I wanted to point out one other thing.
Supposing someone bred their dog and had puppies. Would you in your wildest dreams expect them to give them away just so they were sure they went to good homes because there's so many people who would provide a good home, but can't afford to buy the puppies? I think it's sort of the same thing in this situation.
And honestly, if you can't afford the puppy, would you be able to afford all the care? Toys, special food, supplies etc...These little guys aren't exactly low maintenance and when something happens to them it usually ends up being VERY expensive.

Kathryn, I am so happy that you found little Paris a great home and you will still be able to see her. She is a beautiful little baby girl!

I wish you good luck in the changes you are experiencing at this time. I know it is hard to give up your little girl.

Yay! I am sooo glad she found a good home......and one being a friend of yours! That is great Kathryn! How is everything w/ the family situation?

I think it all depends on your area too....Mojo is from a show breeder and show parents and I got him for less money, course he is a boy too...girls are always more expensive...although her females were show quality and still less money too; course that was four years ago..again, I just think it is the location of the dog and the breeder.....I didn't know what to thank of that statement!:(

I'm with you...I always worry about the little females, afraid they'll end up in a 'bad place'...my inner voice tells me to rescue them all so I would be sure they're well cared for but my husband keeps saying no...I just don't get it :confused: ;)

glad to see your problem is solved. I hope Paris found a good home, one you can visit frequently as well.

Glad she found a great home!

Jenn, you are a much, MUCH nicer person than I am.;)
