I have a friend who bought a male after talking at length with the person in Nebraska. She paid $1400.00 including $200.00 shipping for what was advertised on line as an AKC registered dog. She has had him for several months and still no papers. The seller is dodging her and the man who answered the phone became very abusive and vile and accused her of just wanting papers to breed him to death!! I cannot begin to tell you how many of those types of stories I have been told in the past 3 years. They are almost unbelievable,,but sadly, they are true.
I have never listed " for sale" on line and only once advertised in the newspaper to place an adult dog. I withdrew the ad and waited til the best family came along. In my area, the people who list in the newspapers are not the most reputable and/or trust-worthy in almost every case. I am speaking of Yorkies as I don't read the ads for other breeds..It has been a very long time since I have seen a decent Yorkie puppy for the price you are trying to find. I wish you luck in your search and if you don't give up hope, you might find the puppy for you.. |
