[sudo-discuss] Adorable Yorkshire Terrier Available /Adoption

[Jake]

Selling dogs and cats is not something I want to have on the sudoroom 
discuss list.  It is banned from Craigslist for good reason, because 
monetizing cats and dogs based on their "breeding" means that many more 
dogs are dumped on the streets because they don't have the right "look", 
flooding the shelters with unwanted breeding experiments.

this is also why some cities have made pet stores selling dogs and cats 
illegal:

there are plenty of dogs and cats at the Society for the Prevention of 
Cruelty to Animals, in East Oakland and another one in Berkeley too.  The 
streets are "littered" with them.

if you want to be grossed out, search craigslist "pets" and see people 
asking "400 or best offer" for puppies, and then flag them prohibited.

> Bella will turn 3 years old in spring of 2017.  Her life expectancy is 15+ years. She is a pure bread Yorkie with long legs and a floppy right ear. She is house broken. She is so sweet with people and children. Bella weighs about 10 lbs. Eats 1/3 cup "Hunden Flocken” dry dog food mixed with chicken scrap & hot water once daily. Bella is good on a leash when we go for walks and she relieves herself in out back yard. Her poops resemble marbles - firm to pick up.

I Have been looking for an experienced animal aggression behaviorist but haven't heard back after leaving lots of messages. My husband and 11 yr old son "had it" a while ago and I have to say I'm at the end of my rope.

> She is a sweet sweet dog and I wish I could keep her so if you are an expert level dog behaviorist or trainer - your advice is welcome. When I adopted Bella the CL post said "she must be an only dog" and now I understand why. I though I could change her but I made a mistake.
