Had a friend who went all the way through this and never received a puppy! Beware of other scams where they say they can no longer keep a puppy and you can have it for free if you pay the cost of the flight! And what really stinks is they act like they care about where the puppy is going! Betcha money they don't even have a puppy and are just taking pictures off the Internet! You were smart to hold off!! Also 9 times out of 10 yorkies owners and breeders are not the kind of people that will give up a dog for free! |
Fortunately I wasnt really looking for another Yorkie yet - Just a stud male.
i know i sound SUPER cynical here, but the one email requested my home address and details for delivery. and before that they had asked if i had other pets/Yorkies...who's to say they dont then come and steal your dog from the address you give them? It's a sick world out there...Im glad i never gave any extra informtaion and I will wait and see if they give me those registration numbers. I told them very directly that I dont believe it's real and won't pay until i get confirmation from the kennel association.
there were also no adverts of theirs anywhere to be found. I guess I'm lucky because i wasnt directly looking for my own puppy so I didnt have too much emotion in it and get all excited about finding it like some people might get when they are looking for a new pup
sorry about your friend
