| All New.....need Help Hello Everyone. I have been reading all of your postings over the past week. I learned a great deal from all you. After being a VICTIM of a SCAM that happened a couple of weeks ago, our new little baby will be here Christmas Eve. In short this is my story.....My husband and I decided to give our daughter (5yrs old) who is an only child and new friend - some to give her LOVE to. What better a YORKIE, which I think is the most beautiful breed. We looked locally with no luck for a girl, so then searched the net. I discovered a website www.domesticsale.com that had numerous ones for sale. I found one, emailed the person, who in return sent pics and the whole 9yrds. This went on from December 4th-9th. The lady was "hearing impaired" and could only communicate through emails (I KNOW I KNOW BIG RED FLAG) I was so anxious and excited and put my trust in her. I wanted to get some type of confirmation through registration, confirmation of airlines or docs, but she said she would not be able to send them to me until I sent her a deposit - so I did ..... through WU (I did not know until after I saw all of your postings about sending WU was a NONO). My husband and I had never purchased anything through an individual before so was not sure how this all worked. I know we should have done more research. Anyway, my baby was to be delivered on the 16th of December. She was flying out of Missoouri to Alabama. Well, the money was received and all she needed to do was book flight and send me confirmation number - IT NEVER HAPPENED. There of course is more to the story, but I have had to deal with my own stupidity and the fact that I had the WOOL COMPLETELY PULLED OVER MY EYES just makes me SICK. My husband and I were bound and determined that the person was NOT going to crush not only our heart but our little girl's on CHRISTMAS MORNING so we started searching again. We found our little baby who is a little older but that is just fine. She is SOOOOOOOOOOO precious and absolutely the best laid back puppy - she is going to fit into our family just perfect. I am so sorry this is so long, but I new I needed to share a little of my story with all of you in hopes that you all share the same with others looking to buy. These are the things I need to know - and where else to find the info but from you all. Shampoo/Condition - what and where to purchase Food - I got Royal Canine but what amount and I got puppy formula not YT formula - is that right? Brush - what kind and where to purchase toothbrush/paste - what kind and where to purchase Puppypads - she is trained on these so I think I got this okay Treats - No Greenies I know but what do you all suggest If you have any other information I would GREATLY appreciate it. Thanks so much for your time. I will post pictures of her next week. Courtney |

| Did you ever find out anything more on the yorkie? Is that the one in the picture for 2 grand? I live in Florida, going to Miami next week. I would definitely still be bothering the woman for my money back or for the dog. If there is anything I could do to help, let me know. I'll go & get it. I hate thieves more than anything. Debbie As for shampoos etc... I bought a tearless puppy shampoo, toothpaste & brush at the vet. Treats & food, good luck. I must have gone through a couple of dozen different brands before finding something they liked. Mine are both on Pro Pac puppy lamb & rice all natural. Snacks, they seem to like a piece of cheese or a cooked carrot, blueberry, a piece of apple. Haven't found a dog snack the like except dried chicken. If you write some of the companies on line, some will send samples for free. Every baby is different, so good luck on finding food they like that is good for them. |

| Well, I'm no expert but I purchase a lot of stuff from PetEdge.com. They carry many items with great price!!! You can find peepad, tooth brush/past, comb, shampoo, and conditioner. As for how much to feed is little tricky. I am still not sure myself. Considering how small the puppy is, I only give small amount 3 times a day and treats in between. I've been lucky that she hasn't had any hypoglycemia episode and she has healthy appetite. (She is a little piggy!!!) You probably want to talk to the vet to make sure you are not over feeding or under feeding!!! Again congratulation!!! |

| Thanks so much for your information. No, that is not the one, however; I do think she has listed another one, but under another name. The price is off somewhat, and the name and place are different (that is what a scammer does) but the listing sounds exactly the same. I have emailed numerous times and nothing. We also talked through IM and everytime I log onto it, she logs right off. Thanks for your help on the items. Courtney |
