Issues with the Yorkie I put a deposit on..

I think any place that wants to sell the "tiny ones for twice as much" should be steered away from. I, personally, wouldn't ever go to that so-called "breeder".

PLEASE believe me when I say, " She was perfect.... UNTIL the money was handed over".

She NEVER answers my calls. She is always too busy for me to stop by. I researched over a year, she does testing on her dogs, only breeds once a year. Has a waiting list... Dogs and pups are well vetted and kept in great conditions. It is not her dogs that I worry about, its her business side that I worry about.

She just does not know how to do business, if she treats people that way.

Will she give your deposit back?

**kt_luvs_kitties** · 07-11-2008, 12:21 AM

She did offer it back, but I told her that I would wait for the puppy. I want to see her again before a decision is made. I have not seen her since she was 2 weeks old. I already feel as though she is mine, but then again, I feel like she does not want me to have her so she can either keep her or resell her. I dont know what to do. But now I feel a little regret, and alot desperate.

I agree 100%!
If you can get your money back from her I would run, not walk away from that breeder!

The cutie pie on petfinder is adorable!
It's always rewarding to adopt and rescue!

I think my siggy says all you need to know about my thoughts on rescue.

You'll need to read up on the Japanese Chin a bit, if the petfinder doggie comes home to you!

I LOVE Japanese Chins. I do think Sandy had very good advice to you though on reading up on the breed before you get one. Two things come to mind, first I think that Chins are quite a bit bigger than Joey or the Yorkie you were looking into (like 16 pounds), and although they are an affectionate breed they can be quite stand-offish. And although Japanese chin do not have the bulging eyes that some Asian dogs have, I would still be careful with the kitties. She is adorable.

Good luck.
