On the scammer's website, ryansbullys.tk, they used the name "Eden Valley Yorkshire Terriers." Nosey rosey that I am, I googled "Eden Valley" to see what I could find. That brought me to a completely different website, and it looks to be the website of a very legitimate breeder and exhibitor.

Not only is the scammer using this breeder/exhibitor's kennel name, they have totally copied entire sections of text (plagiarized) from her site. Oh, but they do manage to add, at the bottom of the page, that the text is copyrighted by Eden Valley, just so we are aware that it is illegal to copy it without permission! And ... the scammer displays the YTCA logo on their website.

Compare for yourself:

Scammer: ryansbullies.tk
Eden Valley: Yorkshire Terrier Breeder for 38 years

Does anyone know this breeder? She needs a "head's up."

The nerve of some people.
Eden Valley Yorkshire Terriers/Delores Kauffman is Legit.....She's in Weimar,CA. Member of YTCA since 1976.

So, I don't know what is going on.
