Newbie to yorkietalk and really want one or two HELP - YorkieTalk.com Forums

bgeier · 12-19-2005, 06:43 AM

Hello everyone,
This is my first time here. I'm in search of a male and female to live in the house with me and possibly become a small (very small) breeder. I absolutely LOVE them...and want to have them forever. I have a big house and plenty of time and love.. I'm in Kansas and kind of poor....a teacher's salary. I saw online where a man in Alabama was just giving 7 Yorkies away b/c of relocation to Africa. Have any of you heard or read this? Also, I'd welcome any advise.
Thank you...awaiting responses

Welcome to YT!! Stay away from that Africa thing, its more than likely a scam. I know nothing about breeding, just wanted to wish you tons of luck and welcome you! There are some great breeders on here who I'm sure could give you great advice!

Good luck and welcome to YT. BTW, I live in Alabama and kind of keep up with several breeders in the area...this Africa thing is a new one on me, for what it's worth. Yeah...sounds kind of scammish!

(Is 'scammish' a word?)

hehe, on YT, anything is a word!

A lot of scams are going around like this, usually about someone who has to get rid of their dogs because they're relocating to Africa.

Welcome to YT. Before you even run out and get a male and a female you need to read many of the threads on YT on purchasing a new puppy. It will save you alot of heartache in the long run. Also there are many threads that are posted on breeding. You need to do your homework

if you want to have an enjoyable Yorkie experience.

The Africa deal is a scam!

You can never get something for free! or there is no Free Lunch.

Scammish sounds like a good word to me -

I also would be VERY LEERY of that kind of 'giveaway" there are usually costs in these kinds of scams...They'll ask you for Shipping charges....there is NO DOG and they just keep your money. Its a big internet scam and too many people fall for the word "Free" dog.

There really are NO free yorkies unless it's a VERY Special Circumstance... you can usually get a feel if it's legit or not. If your gut says it's too good to be true - you can bet it usually is.

Please try to use a reputable breeder - there are many yorkies out there for varying prices

WELCOME to Yorkietalk

I'm REALLY new to this thread concept, but I looked at all of the threads and cannot find one about acquiring the first Yorkie. Anyone?

Do you see the little thing that says "search" next to the thing that says "new posts" ? click on search and type in whatever you may be looking for. Do a lot of homework before you purchase your first baby, this is the right place to do that!

Also when you do start the search for your baby(s) make sure you make it perfectly clear that you may be interested in breeding.

BamaFan121s · 12-19-2005, 07:13 AM

Hmmm...I am not as smart as some on the board...I don't know how to post direct likes to the threads like some. If you want to get to the 'Yorkies For Sale/Wanted' section, try clicking on "Forums" at the top of the page, and then scroll down to find the section. If you want to start a new thread...well, seems you already know how to do that...you started this one
