Actually, its hard to admit it, but that is exactly where we got our little Sophie, in a parking lot. We were completely new to buying a puppy and saw an ad from a girl who said they bought 2 yorkies and then had a car wreck and needed cash. We lived a long distance from them (200 miles) and they met us half way from their house. We saw pictures ahead of time and were assured that they had papers. We, of course, fell in love with her at first sight, and were gullible enough to accept the excuse that they did not get the papers from the breeder yet and would send them right away. That was 3 yrs ago and you guessed it, no papers! We were given the name and phone # for the breeder but she cussed at us on the phone, telling us that the girl was paying payments on the 2 dogs and when she paid them off, she would give HER the papers. The suddenly all the phone numbers were disconnected and emails were rejected as undeliverable.
We learned our lesson and our last one was purchased in a much different fashion. However, neither of them were expensive! Our second one has a great pedigree and AKC registration. His family just could not handle his hyperactivity!
We now have a third yorkie (second girl) and are loving our little Yorkie family.
Just my little story, but I would not do the parking lot thing again. But I would not ridicule someone else who UNKNOWINGLY did the same thing.
Let us know if you find the one you are looking for!
