| does this sound odd to you? im sorry of this is in the wrong catergory i like scanning the interent to look at puppies , i cant get anymore just like to look. and this website www.tinytoypuppys.com on their avalaible page it shows the yorkies puppies at 1500.00 and up and they state that the parents are akc but no puppy comes with registration??? that sounds really weird to me..i've seen limited regsitration to prevent breeders and puppymills but why none at all..do you think they are scammers and probably not registered?? just thought i would pass it along to get others opinions on it. |

| Well, I don' know about the registration..but that would make me wonder as well. The two things that flag my worrywart instincts are that they are advertising the puppies as "tiny toy" like they are breeding for that trait. The second is that they sell multiple breeds. Sounds funny to me.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | oh wow - what an awful site - those puppies look very unhappy and I'm sorry but the maltese on the main page doesn't even look right....They're offering HYPE and maybe untruths...I noticed there are no parents listed on the site and they sell multiple breeds. A Red Flag right there....not to mention all the 'Teacup' talk - no wonder so many people think there's such a thing as a Teacup Yorkie -

| I agree with V, theres something "off" about the Maltese especially. All the puppies look sad. I doubt they're AKC.

| I recently tried to educate a friend about a " Teacup" Yorkie they were selling at the Pet Store for $2400. I tried to convince her NOT to buy the puppy and most definitely from a pet store. Then I explained about the fact there is no such thing as a " teacup" yorkie. It was just a word the pet store was using to ask for a higher price. Well, she brought it anyway.

| They also said they couldn't send anymore pictures because they have "so many requests". Hmmmmmm...Add that to the list of red flags!! Something definitely strange about the web site!!

here is the email i sent..... I was looking at your site you have really cute pups. I see you do not give ANY registration on pups????? Makes no sense to me. Paying $1500.00 or more for a pup. I would want at least Limited registration. Thank you, Lori | |

| An interesting thing about this site too... When you put your curser over the links at the bottom of the page, they aren't links. The "awards" they have one...that shows up as just a jpeg image. I have been to other sites that when you click on the "award" it takes you to the site and you actually get to see what award and what it means to have won the award. Same with the Eukanuba image... All those awards won with only 2500 site views. Now you know all of us looking has bumped that number up just today! |
