He also said they were with him somewhere else because he got a job promotion and had to go to cameron. He also asked me a few questions, same as the other person I emailed but the other person seemed more concerned. It seems like finding a reputable breeder in NYC is as hard as finding a golden ticket (if your not charlie bucket).
Oh my goodness! ~THIS IS A SCAM! DO NOT fall for this. I had 2 different people with different emails and names with the same story contact me through emails and say the same thing, asking all kinds of personal questions. Did the email go something like this:

"thanks for your interest in my puppy.she is still available but there is a little problem and the problem is that i left the united states yesterday for a conference in ST Alberta Cameroon and i will probably be here for a week or two so if you really need this puppy then there is no problem, i will be able to transport her from here to you o.k. all i need is a good home for this my baby.but you will have to answer me some few questions,sorry it is just for assurances ok
ARE YOU A PET BREEDER?
HAVE YOU ANY PET EXPERIENCE?
ARE YOU WILLING TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF THIS PUPPY?
HOW SOON DO YOU WANT THE PUPPY?
ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN?
i mean no offense o.k all i want is a good home for my puppy that is all..so get back to me with this informations so we can start the flight arrangements because it means we will beshipping the puppy. the climate and food here is not good but i never knew before coming here so that is why me and my husband is looking for a good and religious home to adopt this puppy.if that is okay by you get back so we can proceed as soon as possible. thanks and stay blessed
"

Please locate a reputable breeder on Yorkietalk, if you can not find one local to you, and buy with confidence.
