This is very painful for me to talk about. I bought a precious Yorkie puppy from a so called breeder that had advertised in the AKC website. The woman rushed me to take the puppy at only 7 wks. of age. Within a week, the puppy had passed away, overnight. I was beside myself. The seller wanted nothing to do with me. In hindsight, recalling all of what she had said and done, I am completely convinced that she was not a breeder but rather a puppy broker. She had originally convinced me to purchase two brothers, claiming that they were "so bonded" but changed her tune a week later, stating that taking one at a time would enable the puppy to bond better with me than two. Everything that woman said and did tells me that she was a crook. Never let me see the mother and claimed that the father was "with his Handler". ... Still breaks my heart. Not to mention that she got $600.00 from me.
My heart goes out to all of you who are TRUE and REAL Yorkie lovers. Clearly that woman was a scam artist.
