I purchased a male puppy from Pam Brummitt (Japa Pups) last September. He was born on 6/1/06, and was 14 weeks old when I purchased him. He was listed on Puppyfind as "Romeo". His parents were Teagan and Vegas.
I told Pam right from the start that I was wanting a male that would be in the 5 lb range as a future stud. She told me he was still under 3 lbs at 14 weeks, and that she knew her lines and this pup was just about done growing.

So, after talking with her some more, and seeing more pictures...I sent her the money by 2nd day mail and had the puppy shipped to me 2 days later. The puppy I received was NOT the puppy I thought I was getting, he was almost 1 lb bigger then she had just told me he was 2 days prior to getting him shipped. As anyone with a toy breed such as yorkies know...1 lb makes a huge difference when trying to estimate a pups future weight. If Pam would have been honest to me about the pups real size...I would have known he was going to be on larger side, and I would have looked elsewhere. Simple as that. But she chose to lie to me about his weight so that I would buy him.

I called Pam as soon as I returned home from picking him up, and she would not answer her phone or return any of my calls. I left messages, and pleaded with her to get back with me about the puppy, but she never once would pick up the phone, nor call me back. She had just shipped one of her "precious babies" on a plane...but would not pick up the phone to see if he at least made it safely. She knew I was unhappy and did not want to deal with me personally. The only way she would converse with me was through email.

She told me (by email) I did not love the puppy and was not giving him a chance. She kept promising me that she knew her lines and he would not get over 5 lbs. And if he did...she would resell him for me.

He also arrived with kennel cough, and was officially diagnosed by a vet 3 days after his arrival. Pam told me the puppy did not have kennel cough, even though my vet said he did. She said and I quote..."he only has a sore throat from crying all night because you don't love him".
Pam said it did not matter, as my 2 day guarantee was over...and my contract was now void. I offered to drive the puppy back to return him, and Pam told me that she never takes any puppies back and she would not take this one back since he was sick.

I made it perfectly clear to her from the beginning, that I wanted a breeding quality male. The pup I recieved was not breeding quality and quickly went over standard size.
She also lied to her vet, the airlines and the state of Kentucky about his age. He was over 14 weeks old and clearly needed a rabies vaccination (BY LAW) before he could be shipped to me. She told her vet and the airlines he was only 11 weeks old to keep from having to pay for the rabies shot.
The pup who now weighs over 8 lbs, is living a very happy life as a neutered pet. Something Pam should have sold him as in the first place. But I was new to the breed, and she saw me coming from a mile away. After reading this thread...I find something very interesting. Pam told me since my pup was over 14 weeks old, he was just about done growing and would not get much bigger. She kept telling me that "she knew her lines".
She now tells Rose that her 5 month old puppy who is out of the same bitch as the male I purchased, needs time to grow for a full year and a half to reach her final weight. Well Pam...which one is it?
