| Does This Ad Bother U? Or Am I Crazy? lol Do these kind of ads bother you guys as much as they bother me??? Wanted: teacup or short haired yorkie Price: US $350.00 Ad ID: 33245658 Unique Visits: 199 Street address: Rt 14 CampBarbeFairgrounds, Elizabeth,WV, 26143 View map Location: Pittsburgh Date Listed: Dec-27-07 I am looking for a akc or ckc registered teacup or short haired yorkie puppy.I love these little dogs so much.I can't afford to pay a lot of money but I am willing to pay alittle.I am on a fixed income and I would love to have a little friend to share my life with.If you can help me please feel free to contact me These really bother me, mostly because it makes me feel like the person is a bit shady.... 1. If they really just want a friend why does it need to be a "teacup"? 2. If they really just want a friend why does it have to be AKC or CKC? 3. If they have a fixed income, then how will they afford to take care of the baby??? 4. If they really just want a friend then why don't they adopt from a shelter or something??? I don't know, maybe I am a little out of hand... But for some reason, I see these, ESPECIALLY FROM THIS ONE PERSON, all the time, and they really bug me.

| Awfully choosy for a beggar There's someone that posts on my local Craigslist all the time begging for a free "teacup" dog If you can't afford a dog, how are you gonna pay for any vet care?!?! INsane what people want for next to nothing I agree with all of your points!

| I know LunasMommy... It drives me nuts... any good breeder wouldnt give a baby to someone if they can't even afford the dog... What if the baby got really sick?? how would they pay the bills?

| Well I would think the same. Have you researched it and do you know also how expensive the care on these dogs can be? I can't believe it and then probably after a few weeks they would want to get rid of the dog. Seems how that stuff goes.

| I messaged the person and told them no respectable breeder would sell to someone like that... and that they seem like a young irresponsible person... She's probably just some young girl who wants to carry around a little dog and show it off to her friends like some designer little carry along bag. Its a real shame.

| MFL!!! This is exactly what I was thinking!!! This person obviously doesnt even know that Yorkies hair grows, and you have to get its hair cut if you want it to have short hair all the time!!!! This person obviously has no idea what theyre talking about!!! And should not own a Yorkie... It's Chihuahua sexii Just do what I do... say Chi Whooa Whooa, then you will always know how to spell it... ChiHuaHua lol
