Lacey & Lindseys Mom ... there should be some sort of punishment for people such as you saw on Judge Judy! That seems like a crime ... they prey on people's emotions! When my husband and I first got excited about buying a Yorkie we saw an internet ad and just fell in love with a tiny Yorkie. Patrick called the breeder in Dallas and these puppies were ACA also [I think that organization is a copy-cat of AKC?]. We were fully prepared to pay the 2700 for the baby and the breeder assured us she would be shipped to us in the CABIN of the airline! [We were in Missouri at that time and didn't have time to drive to Dallas to pick her up]. We were so excited and my detail-orientated hubby called the airport in St. Louis to make sure which gate, etc. we would pick this baby up from ... they didn't have a clue what he was talking about! Thank God we caught this man in a lie before we subjected that poor baby to the baggage hold of an airplane!! Patrick was furious, called the man and was very "unpleasant" with him and we got a firm grip on our emotions, studied every piece of information and book we could find on Yorkies and finally [several months later] found our baby Toto in Marietta, GA with a wonderful breeder who breeds show dogs. We are so thankful for this experience and that we waited to find this perfect baby who has become so much a part of us! She is just too wonderful for words! We were fortunate in that we didn't have to be concerned with the cost but once I held that little tiny piece of fluff ... I would've paid
anything she asked!!
