I almost was tricked by this tinydarlings website a few months back. After I found this thread. I got so much info on this woman. People getting scamed out of the 1000s of dollars to have a yorkie of their own but some of these online breeders are just in it for the money not the quauilty of letting a person have the pleasurable company of a yorkie no just for the $$$$. And that makes me very mad.

I been looking for a yorkie for about a year now I was almost tricked these so called breeders. With too many high prices and people are willing to pay from 2000-8000+ for this beautiful creatures. Puppymills, petstores, online breeders,brokers, and such but no one doing a thing about it. I think people should search on the breeder check with some customers to see if this breeder is good.

I really don't want to buy a yorkie online. I rather search find a breeder in my area than waste all of my money on a puppy I probably will not get. Plus all of these stories of people buying tea-cup, mini, and other types of Yorkies for very very high prices. There is no such thing there is only one type of yorkie period. And many people have said that their puppy was sick or it wasn't the same puppy in the picture. I recommend you vist the breeder in person and see the parents, their surroundings, and such. Because a good breeder wouldn't mind if you visted them in person.

Also, I rather pick up my puppy in person because I think its cruel to let a puppy to ride in a plane in a carrier at a very young age and maybe it may get sick on the airplane. No offense. Many people have did it but I am just suggesting. I hope someone will stop this.

Also from the forum someone suggested early you should read the contract and also recieve the registered papers with the puppy before you even walk out the door. Plus I heard about some unreputable(sp) breeder holding the papers hostage for more $$$ that is very mean. That is why I want have the paper in my hand before I leave.

Then theres were some compliants about a suppose be a purebred yorkie but is mixed or supposed to be a yorkie but another breed instead, just like I said earlier I think you should see the puppy first. Then what makes me PO is that people a recieving sick puppies and caring for them and paying vet bills well I think the breeder should be paying the bills since it was there responsible to make the puppy healthy and make the customer happy. Also one breeder as recieve some more complaint I think that they will be going to court or something. And will be refunding customers money or something like that.

Now I guess I am one of the lucky ones from purchasing a puppy from a petstore because I got my Baby Jane(poodle/schnauzer) there. She wasn't sick but I think she I had Kennel Cough though. But she is healthy now. Anyway some unreputable breeder who don't know a thing about the breed. I mean anyone can put two dogs together and bred them. But you have to search on both parents which I know some of you know this pedigree. If you bred two parents without researching then there will probably be genetical disorder the breeder or you would know about. But it was probably appear in the early or later stages of it life.

Sorry about making it long. And I hoped I help.
