So I am reading the classifieds today, because I often skim to look for female malts etc...and I come across an ad for a 3 year old female maltese for $450.00. So, being curious, I called to check on her....(thinking about a sister for Brinkley
). So I finally get hold of the lady and she was super nice, but said that somebody was coming to look at her this afternoon. But, I asked some questions anyway. These were the questions I asked...and her responses.
1) How big? 3.5 pounds
2) Spayed? No, but too small to breed anyway
3)Health Problems? No
4) Good with kids? She has teenagers, but the dog had been around younger and was fine with them.
5) Been with cats? No
6) How potty-trained? Outside
7) Why are you getting rid of her? She belongs to her 13 year old daughter, she agreed she could have her, as long as she took care of her. Now, her daughter is busy and doesn't care for her, mom does it all...so she told her she had to get rid of her because she couldn't take care of her and all the others.
8) What breeder did you get her from? She WAS the breeder. She breeds Yorkies and Malts.
9) You have her mom and dad too? Mom is retired (didn't say whether she still had her) and the dad they sold sometime. ( I don't remember when she said)
She is supposed to call back if the other lady doesn't show or is not interested. Poor baby. I cannot imagine getting rid of one that you have had for 3 years -since it was born especially. I suddenly found myself REALLY wanting her!
I may call back tonight and see if that other person showed etc....
I can't stop thinking about her...
Anyway, just sharing.
