| Yep! They'll probably get it too because they have such powerful marketing and wealthy celebrities and others who have "their people" search for and find their dogs for them will come upon this site and sites like it (Divapups) and pay the price because it is a drop in the bucket to them and they want what they want!! Those of us on here know that we don't have to pay those prices if we are patient and can spend the time to research, talk to breeders and wait for the right puppy to come along! |

| I have seen that site too! It is obsurd! There is no way anyone celebrity or not should be dooped for that much money... I feel sorry for the dog, that price puts a lot of pressure on her to be perfect...

Exactly. That's outrageous! What's even funnier is that they also have pups of the same b reed available for $950.00 So why is that ONE dog so damn much? Sure she's smaller then the rest, but smaller isn't always better. Their bones are more brittle and they are more likely to have serious health problems. It says on their site that they have yorkies as small as 1-2 pounds full grown. Now that cannot be healthy. This is direct from their site "Yes, occasionally we also have extremely special tea cups adult weight will be 1 lb - 2 lbs., these puppies are the outcome of many, and many years of select breeding and are only placed in very special homes." WHAT THE HELL? | |

| DO NOT BUY from Wizard of Claws. While they state that they are "breeders" or "consultants", they are in fact a pet store. They are not a kennel as they also sometimes claim to be. They are located in a strip mall in Pembroke Pines, Florida. Most of their puppies come from puppy mills, even though they say they are against them. While they do not themselves buy from puppy mills, they do buy from brokers who buy their puppies from puppy mills. James (aka Jim) and Gilda Anderson, the owners of Wizard of Claws, are known to buy at least some of their puppies from The Hunte Corporation, the largest puppy broker in the United States. In 2002, the USDA charged James Anderson and Wizard of Cl'oz with violations of the Animal Welfare Act in numerous areas including recordkeeping and veterinary care. In 2003, they were found guilty of the charges by reason of default. http://www.usda.gov/da/oaljdecision...ol62_at_185.htm This is the third time James Anderson was charged with violating the Animal Welfare Act under three different business names. They have since changed the name of their business once again to Wizard of Claws. James Anderson (DC# L34318) is also a convicted felon and was released from prison in 2001. http://www.dc.state.fl.us/appcommon...asp?Action=Find Therefore, Wizard of Claws is legally owned by his wife, Gilda Perez Anderson. In addition, Wizard of Claws has and will knowingly misrepresent the health of the puppy to sell it at a 200 - 500 percent profit (and sometimes more). They will also misrepresent or blatantly lie about the estimated size of the puppy as an adult. Many of their "teacup" puppies are not teacup or even miniature, but just standard size. However, since they do not guarantee the size of the puppy, there is nothing the buyer can do. They will also lie about where the puppy came from, who the breeder is and any information about the puppies' parents. Most of their puppies come from Missouri, the puppy mill capital of the U.S. PUPPY STORE SUED FOR MISLEADING CUSTOMERS, SELLING SICK PUPPIES (Pembroke Pines, FL) Two South Florida attorneys have filed a lawsuit on behalf of customers that bought puppies from Wizard of Claws Inc., alleging that the Pembroke Pines pet store defrauds customers by intentionally misrepresenting the origin of the puppies sold, and by selling puppies that suffer from a wide array of health problems, including contagious diseases and genetic disorders.

| I cannot even explain how I feel about these evil people and the ones who supply them with the inferior, sickly looking puppies. Advertising is their forte.. |
