I found my yorkie on puppyfind.com and it took months. There are so many scammers out there. One said that he was in west Africa ( a clue right there) and for just the cost of shipping I could have his 12 week old puppy. Well, I know what my luggage looks like when it flies long distance let alone a small dog....so I wouldn't accept a shipped puppy from anyone. Anyway, it took quite a while before I found a breeder here in Pa. that refused to ship and refused to sell any of her Yorkie puppies until they were 4 months old. I went out there and was able to look over her kennels too. It really is tough to figure out who is legit and who isn't. Ask lots of questions on the phone......if they sound confused or try to brush you off (which a few did to me) hang up. I asked the breeders that I was interested in to have more photos of their puppies e-mailed to me. The ones I figured to be scammers would try and get away with sending me the same pictures that were in their ads.
Puppyfinders.com is a good tool to locate a dog......just do a ton of investigating before even considering buying......Gizmo's Mom
