I've heard many wonderful stories of people purchasing their dogs off of the internet. I have also heard of many scams. I wouldn't say that buying off of the internet is completely out of the question, you just have to take extra precautions. I hope you get your situation sorted out soon! Keep us informed :) |
I bought my daughter's silky terrier online and I have to say it was a very nice and pleasant experience, but I did research the breeder very well, also I paid thru Paypal with my credit card, just to protect me, if anything was wrong with the pup I could always reverse the charges and file a claim with paypal.. I also took the pup to the vet the monday after she arrived, she flew home American cargo, I also made sure it was in the fall and when is NOT too hot or too cold she flew all the way from Missouri to Newark NJ, she arrived on saturday afternoon. buying online can be a very tricky way of shopping you have to take all the measurements to protect yourself, but then again is like catalog shopping is always a risk...Best of luck with your situation, hope you can resolve it soon.. hugs, CAmren in nj |

I am sorry you have to start your hopeful Yorkie ownership with so much stress and disappointment. It sure puts a damper on what should be a happy time. Have you asked her for the name of the vet? You may be call the vet and find out something about the pup (if he exists) or the breeder. Would you want to put the breeders name and location on YT in case one of the members here lives near her and can check things out for you? Members here also know how to find out if breeders are legitimate. Do you have an actual signed contract or written receipt stating the conditions of the sale? What is the present age and weight of this pup? I personally would be very concerned about sending any pup on a flight, especially during the freezing weather you are having now. |
Yes to me it is an irresponsible buyer to buy on the internet..there are so many scams and how could u trust a stranger that u are getting a healthy pup if u have not seen where it came from ? how healthy are the parents of the pup.. To me u are just asking for a problem in this type of circumstance.. This is just my opinion and I would not want to be in this situation, so i would avoid it for myself.. I know many very reputable breeders sell their pups and retired show dogs for a very reasonable price to the right homes.. as their interest is in the dogs well being and getting a good home, not really the money ... |
did u check this list in the sticky before ur dealing with this breeder : AKC suspension index maybe u could find them there ? and decide what to do .... |

no i did not check that i dont see anything on it though. the puppy is almost a pound she told me he needed to be atleast a pound to fly. |
I wish you a lot of luck to resolve this. I have met many folks being on line. I have my buyers checked every which way I can, and expect them to do the same for me. So far, we have met almost everyone of our buyers face-to-face, when they come pick up their puppy at the airport or at my home. So I guess, if that is the puppy you want, go and get it. |

Just a HUGE RISK too me not too mention the heartache it would cause ! |

A pound seems very small to fly, the minimum age is 12 weeks, but some breeders keep them longer if they are this small. They would never consider flying a dog this small, hypoglycemia is too big of a risk. Something's very fishy. |
