The same thing happened to me. My yorkied had just died. I was grieving so bad. I found a breeder on breeder.net and went to visit. She showed me a female and said she was expecting a litter and all the puppies were spoken for, but if I gave her 200.00 she would make sure I got one anyway. I waited weeks and never heard from her. I called her she wouldn't answer her phone. I emailed. She wouldn't reply. Finally, I brought in the big guns...my husband. He called and told her she could give us the puppy or send the deposit back to us. She said there weren't any puppies!!! Well, finally my husband said, look lady, I'm coming to your house to pick up my wife's deposit...she sent it right away. She is also in Indiana. Halfpint Yorkies. I want to add, I eventually met the absolute best breeder to deal with after this, she was great. Her name is Jill brooks, Muncie, Indiana.
