| Some stupid jerk lady... I started looking at Yorkie pups today. I set up a few meetings this week. One lady told me she had two males left. The picture she sent me was of a 11 week old puppy. Well she pulled one out of the kennel and it was the fluffiest, most matted looking yorkie pup I've seen. His ears were super skinny and scabbed on the back (not sure why?). The inside of his ears were filthy. I asked to see the other one and she reached in and pulled out a 6.5 week old puppy!!! He was FAT, rolly polly and heavierr than the 11 week old puppy and there was no way he was pure yorkie. His fur was coarse and mingled with brown. When I was holding him he threw up all over my legs and it was a pure liquid, clearish yellow color. She said it was because he hadn't eaten today and the car ride made him sick. She said he was the only one of the litter still alive (she lost them at birth she said). AND, she was trying to sell them for 750!!!!! I guess i shouldn't be so shocked. The level of dog care here is appalling. But still. I told her no thanks and left as quick as I could. |

YT 1000 Club Member | Oh dear what a terrible thing. Did you think to report this lady to the local ASPCA? Sounds like those babies are being neglected and need to be rescued.

| Car ride? Don't tell me she met you some place not in her home, like a parking lot? |

| YEP it was a parking lot she said to meet her there but her English was not perfect and I don't know Spanish, so I thought I was going to meet her there and follow her to her house. As for reporting her, HAH! There was a scandal here a few years back where the local animal control was fined for confiscating dogs and throwing them off bridges. No joke. So there is no way they would even give a crap. Animal Abuse Rampant in Puerto Rico For the Love of the Dog |

| glad you walked or rather RAN away from that one. good luck finding someone willing to take you to their home and show you the pups they bred in their natural environment and are all healthy with full vet checks and a health history on the parents. i hope you find a baby that is perfect for you and has a good breeder. |

| OMG. Sad situation. I am glad you knew when to run away and fast. I hope your next meeting will be better.
