| Does this Yorkie ad seem shady? This ad is in my paper today-the price actually seems TOO LOW for all that- What three shots could a puppy have by that age? Well, here is the ad: <<Yorkshire Terrier, Teacup Female, 7 weeks, Champion bloodlines $400 (shipping included - United States) Buy with confidence - AKC Registered, Current vaccinations, Veterinarian examination, Health certificate, Health guarantee, Pedigree, Travel crate. three sets of shots, microchip. Around three pounds fully grown. Very sweet>> What do you think??? |

| That's definitely a scam! Whenever they say shipping is included into such a low price that has to be a scam!!

| YES! A Scam I think! I decided to write and ask this person some questions: I ask what championship lines...no answer The pup is 7 weeks and 2 lbs 5 oz-and yet she is supposed to be three pounds full grown? I don't think so! No answer on shot questions. Also, ad says AKC but in the reply she says first ACA and then also AKC? Ad says shipping included but her reply claims shipping is extra and she lives in Florida (?) but advertises in a Louisivlle Ky newspaper? WHY? There is no one in Fl who wants such a deal? AND she refused to meet me anywhere...I said I wanted to come pick up the pup but she is "A very busy person" and HAS to ship her? I can't prove this is a scam but is there anyone to report suspicions to? |

| Seen this one before. If you go to backpage.com and click on every city to the right on the pet section. You will see similar ones. After Fl, they will say they are in Africa..........please look elsewhere.
