| Puppy escrow??? Pay pal??? As you can probably tell, I am new to all of this. I just started out a few weeks ago looking for a puppy - and I am totally overwhelmed by the amount of good and bad information there is out there on this poor breed! I believe I have narrowed my search down to a 12 week old female, and the site seems to be good. Since it is my first "internet purchase", I am fearful of all the scams that I read about!! I tried to research puppy escrow - but really couldnt find too much on it. Has any one out there used it?? And what about Pay Pal? How does that work?? Does it protect the buyer in case of scammers?? Please help!!! |

| What an exciting time for you! Please whatever you do, DO NOT BUY A PUPPY ONLINE. Please look for a local breeder. Don't be in a rush to get one. I believe I posted a link for you to the YTCA, Yorkshire Terrier Club of America, they have breeder contact information there. Remember that you buy your breeder first, and a puppy second. You want to find someone that will be there for you for the next 15 years. Stay away from anyone who would sell a Teeny, Teacup, Micro Minnie, or whatever. Small yorkies are fragile little beings and no reputable breeder would sell one. A good breeder would place a smaller yorkie in a qualified home for free because they are special needs. I'm going to send you a PM.

| Please look at the top of this section (Yorkies For Sale). There are a bunch of stickies pinned that will help you find a reputable breeder. Here's just one: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...ead-first.html |

| I can certainly understand your excitment But I have to agree - please do your research and choose a breeder close to you so that you can, at a very minimum, visit the premises to inspect and ensure that you are purchasing the dog that you picked out. Best of luck to you!

♥ Catherine My Love ♥ Donating Member | Do your best to find a local breeder. It is always easier to go to the breeder and look at the puppies and meet the breeder as opposed to finding a puppy online. As far as paying for things online, I LOVE paypal! Both the buyer and seller are protected in case there are issues. I used the protection once on a purchase I made where I never got the item and paypal gave me my money back.
