Oh jeez.......

ok guys, this breeder/broker is not deanna from alberta.

This lady is a broker who brings in "teacup" "teddybear faced" yorkies from Brazil. Her website is westcoastyorkies.com and she's located in Vancouver

I looked into her when i was looking for my first yorkie. The yorkies she brings in are of high quality - however, I believe she misleads many buyers by using the word teacup or teddybear. Her site never has any new puppies- they are always pups who have already been sold. She uses her website and her advertising (all over kijiji and craiglist) to bring in potential buyers - wherein she puts them on a waiting list and "orders" their baby from brazil. She is a great talker and is all about the "sell sell sell" mantra. I'm certain she told the op whatever she wanted to hear. And I totally believe she goes for the ignorant buyer. The way she raves about what weight the puppies will grow to be is a total selling tactic, especially since she fails to write it down in a contract.

From the few people I have spoken to - they have all been very pleased with their yorkies. However, I would never buy from her because she is a broker.

My main issue with this thread is the OP --------- i cannot believe that you can stop caring for your pet because of size issues. It is CLEAR to me that you have NO inkling of knowledge about the yorkshire terrier breed. And it frightens me that you would even consider returning the pup after 4 months with him/her. I do not believe that this broker sells her pups for $2500 + for their size only because she is too open about their weights and numbers, and if the pup weighs almost 3 lbs at 12 weeks, it would give u a good indication of their size as an adult. I believe that she told you what you wanted to hear to make the sale, but you should have done your research to know what was fact and what was fiction. I have no pity for you and no, i do not believe you were scammed because you received a healthy puppy of good quality (though I'm a little concerned about Linda's comments concerning registration).If she is ignoring your emails (which she is, because she is very diligent in her replies for potential buyers), and you have no other method of contacting her, I don't feel sorry for you because you did not do your homework.

I have two yorkies who are identical in their physical sizes, yet one weighs 3 lbs and the other is now 5 lbs and will mostly get to 6. Weight is JUST a NUMBER - and should not determine your love for the animal. Just be grateful you have a beautiful animal to love.
