| I can make out enough to know I wouldn't do it. Find a reputable, respectable breeder nearby and get a dog with a health guarantee, healthy lineage and from people who you know are not greeders or backyard breeders who never test their breeding pairs for health certificates or allow them to live like housepets, with all the love and daily attention and exercise, love and fun a dog is due. If you buy over the net, unless somehow you know the breeder well by email/phone/online chats and lots of word of mouth and an excellent reputation in the breed, you are probably financing puppymills and dog brokers. Did these people check you out and your dog ownership responsibility with your vet, a questionnaire and long talks, email and ask lots of questions about your family, lifestyles, other pets? If not, don't do business with them - they don't care a flip about anything but the $$$.

| Gee whiz...when I had to ship my Yorkie-Poo, I had to pay airfare for him and buy him a "Sky Kennel" from them so I seriously doubt this is real...especially since some airlines are charging for luggage these days. I am sorry, but I vote SCAM on this as well. I do hope you are able to find your Yorkie...but I doubt it will be anything like either of the two messages you've posted (that I've seen) so far. These just 'smell bad' to me, and I have NEVER bought a dog from a breeder.

| Yeah I'm starting to feel that way about EVERY ad I find Every reputable breeder I have contacted are asking more then I can afford to spend. I do realize that yorkies are an expensive dog but jeez at this rate I'm going to give up because I have spent countless hours over weeks looking for a puppy and getting upset with every new email or phone call made. I could be spending this time being happy with my children...Someday a yorkie will pop up if it was meant for me to have one. For now I'm done with the aggravation...It's just a bummer because it seems like everybody i know can come across a good healthy puppy that is inexpensive...and 9/10 of these people shouldn't even own an animal at all! And Here I sit in a great position to own a puppy, all the time in the world to train it and take care of it, spoil it etc. At this point I have a feeling that because I can't afford the high price tags I keep seeing ( well other then scams) I won't be able to own one of these babies anytime soon. Thanks for all the advice and opinions they are all greatly appreciated. |

| I would just keep looking. They cannot find you if you aren't looking for their way of contacting you. It seems like everything anymore has a horrendous SCAM factor. I think you are learning to 'read' the 'language' of the scam. If the communication sounds 'translated' to English...likely a scam. If they are promising a whole bunch for next to nothing...likely a scam. I know some highly reputable breeders will sometimes arrange transportation or delivery of a puppy...but when the whole package is less than airfare, I'd be more than mighty suspicious. There is a Yorkie baby waiting for you to help him/her find you.

| Finding a puppy takes lots of research and it is your job bc once you bring that puppy home it is a lifetime commitment whether it is healthy or not. There are lots of scams out there that are willing to play on your emotions of wanting a puppy or dog. A reputable breeder: Is knowledgeable about his/her breed and breed standard; Is active in the breed in some fashion, perhaps in the conformation ring, or in the performance aspect, such as obedience, agility, Has done extensive genetic testing on the breeding stock used and is willing and able to discuss whatever faults his/her dogs have (and all dogs have them. No dog is perfect.); The environment the dogs and puppies are kept in are open for your inspection and are kept sanitary; At least the dam of the litter is on the premises and is available for your inspection, with pictures and information about how to contact the owner of the sire available to you; Has provided proper medical care and nutrition to all his dogs and will provide you with medical records; Can discuss the socialization of the puppies and can make recommendations for the continued socialization and training; Will have a written contract and bill of sale Will offer a health guarantee; Will offer a genetic disease guarantee; Will take back the dog at any time during the dog's life if you become unwilling or unable to care for it. Will be available to you for advice during the life of the dog . This is what I went by when looking for a breeder

Breeders charge a lot because it takes a lot of money to keep and breed dogs the right way and spend the money to test them to see if they are candidates for breeding. Nothing cheap anymore about getting a healthy, purebred dog. I feel your pain.

| I will look again at some point but for now I'm going to back off. it's just so frusterating!! I never thought bringing home a puppy and loving it could cause so much heartach BEFORE you even own one!! Everybody keeps telling me to go the shelter/ adoption route...which i don't have a problem with...BUT after waiting 13+ years to own our own home and for my children to be at the right age for such a small pup...It has ALL BEEN a waiting thing!! It's not like I woke up and said oh i think i want a yorkie...NO! I waited till I was in a good place to be able to provide for a puppy, I waited till my kids were old enough....You see I have done nothing but waiting and looking. I don't want to go the shelter route and get a dog that has been abused, may be sick etc....I don't want that after all this time! I want a healthy, Baby that I can raise and know that it has no problems. Animals are costly to own to begin with...why would I bring home a pet that could end up with more vet bills then a healthy pup would? Sorry for carrying on, another reason I need to just hang it up for a while. |

| I'm VERY aware of the money that a pet cost I currently have 4 cats ( I have lost 2 over the past 7 years). I owned a toy poodle for 15 years, I have owned birds, rabbits,fish you name it. I have been raised around and owned many animals through out my life. This isn't my first adventure with an animal. As far as doing my homework on the breed I really feel as though over 13 years of wanting, looking and talking to people that own them, I'm pretty sure at this point, I have done more homework them most people ever think of doing when purchasing a puppy or any animal for that matter. |

| Maybe that's anothr reason I'm having a hard time with the yorkie puppy thing...I have NEVER had a problem taking care of any of my animals, never lost an animal due to any other reason then old age. I have never had to face not being able to bring my animal to a vet. Maybe I'm just frusterated because every other animal I have owned was NEVER this hard to acquire...I can afford to take care of an animal once I have it home. The problem is actually getting one for under $1000.00. I know yorkies are expensive as i stated earlier but honestly I can't justify spending $1000.00 on a puppy for ME when I have 2 children...Sorry that's alot of money to spend all at once on an animal that you have to take care of for the rest of it's life, with food, vet bills etc. That's my opinion. My kids come first ALWAYS. |

| I am so sorry you have done all this planning and waiting, and still are not finding the Yorkie baby of your dreams. What an awful feeling. Maybe, though, this is the 'darkness' before the 'dawn' we always hear of.
