| Puppyfind.com ????? Hi everyone My parents are looking for a yorkie(female) and we came across this website since we are not familiar with any breeders in our area (Orange county NY). Not sure if you will be able to see the link but this person is selling thier pups for $400 and up with shipping included??? Does this sound right to you and how bad is it to ship a baby???? Any and all feedback would be appreciated! Thanks! Tiff and Buster http://www.puppyfind.com/view_listin...07cfce4444bd5b |

| SSSCCCAAAMMM!!! No one would sale a pet yorkie for only 400....espicially a show quality yorkie. If you are looking on puppyfind then only look at people in your state that are close to you so you can go and see the puppy you are about to purchase....Theres alot of scams on this website Crystal

| These scammers are seriously stupid...... they have GORGEOUS pictures of puppies w/"champion" lines, and then they ask $400 including shipping. They should ask $2000 including shipping..... they would be more believable, and make more $!! I can't stand these people! YUCK!

| SCAM! Definately look for something local. That guy will tell you to western union the money and then you will never see the puppy! You can't do anything about it because it's in another country. Petfinder should take those scammers off! |

| puppyfind.com is full of scammers. they reel you in with stolen pictures and a cheap price. they'll ask you to send a few hundred dollars as shipping fee or good faith money, after which you'll never hear from them again. don't fall for it!!! just based on principle alone, i'll never get a puppy through puppyfind.com, even from the few reputable sellers they have. i think puppyfind is an unscrupulous company for not cracking down on the scammers themselves. i'd sooner use the newspaper and find something local. |

| Definitely a scam......I sent a request to the seller to see if I can visit. We'll see what kind of response I get from them. Generally when you request to visit, they never reply. They just want you to send the money and then they disappear.

| Be really careful with puppyfind.com! There are A LOT of scammers on there...Trust me, it happened to me. I wouldn't take it back if I could now because I cannot imagine my life without Miko. Just be very careful. Meet the breeder in person and see the parents...
