All,

A couple of months ago, I linked onto a yorkie breeder's website that I found on the AKC website. The website was very professionally done and the breeder appeared to really care about her yorkies. I emailed the breeder and learned she had a nine day old yorkie pup and told me if I was willing to wait for the pup to wean from his mom, I could purchase him. I sent her a $200 deposit with the understanding she would be keeping the pup until he weaned from her mom. The pup is almost 6 weeks old.
This morning I received a "strange" call from the breeder who began making arrangements for me to pick the puppy up at a "drop off" spot. She wanted me to pick the puppy up 2 days before he turns 8 weeks old! She starts giving me an intersection off I-80 and im on the phone completely stunned. I told her I was always under the impression I would be coming to her home to pick up the puppy as I wanted to see where the puppy has been residing and what her mom and dad look like. This woman became extremely defensive and starts saying "we have nothing to hide" "you can come to our home". She proceeds to give me her "home" address and then tells me "these puppies are her daughters, she just advertises for them". I got a really bad feeling right now. Someone please tell me what to do.
