Am I being paranoid???? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Ok tell me why my Coco's picture is still on this website from her breeder??? Her picture is the middle one. Are they just saying that these are all litter mates, or are they saying she's still available??? I e-mailed them under false pretenses to see what they will say. What do you guys think from the website. Do you think they're just saying they are all siblings? This breeder was sooo incredible nice and helpful and extremely accomodating. Nothing close to the characteristics of a scam artist, mill place. She adores her little ones but I really hope she's just showing the pictures as litter mates. What do you guys think??

Maybe her web site just has not been updated yet..I wouldn't worry yourself.

If it worry's you as much as you say, just call her and talk. I wouldn't worry about taking the time to send any false emails and such.

vainchick5 · 06-28-2005, 01:48 PM

I just called and left a message. I'm not worried about Coco. She's healthy and happy. I would just be shocked to find out that this really nice lady is scamming other people. i want to avoid anything like that. Yes I am panicking a little bit here, but I will try to calm down until she calls...ahhhhhh

MeganS · 06-28-2005, 01:50 PM

I wouldn't worry too much she's the cutest one so maybe she just wants them to see how cute they all are lol.

If you're really worried then just call and ask. if she seems like that good of a breeder then she will tell you the truth!

YorkieRose · 06-28-2005, 01:50 PM

Perhaps the siblings are still available and she can not remove your girls pic without removing all...if you ask about the middle pup and she is still available, then you know they are not being totally honest about what is what and who is who.

vainchick5 · 06-28-2005, 02:41 PM

What should I do if something isn't right?

P.S. Thanks Megan! That was her first picture that I got. I think it's the cutest picture ever.

Meg · 06-28-2005, 02:53 PM

Hmmm,that is really weird, hopefully it is just a pic that they cant take down. Let us know what the lady says. She sure is cute!!!!

Jeniferlee · 06-28-2005, 06:17 PM

It looks to me like there are 3 different puppies. Maybe it is Coco's sister and brother? You won't know until you ask.... but I think she is just saying she has a boy and girl left? (At 11 weeks old her and her little brother weigh about a pound (he is actually 14 oz) and are adorable.)
What cute puppies!

your welcome it is the cutest picture ever. You have coco already right??? if not then it could be a problem. if you do then there won't be a problem for you but someone else could be upset when their puppy doesn't show up.

vainchick5 · 06-28-2005, 07:12 PM

I already have Coco..I would be FREAKING out if I didn't. I just want to make sure other people aren't be scammed. I don't want her to be selling puppies my my Coco's picture and then people either don't get that puppy or don't get one at all. I really don't want to believe that she would do that because she was soooooo helpful and great!. She even e-mails and asks for updates and I send her pictures and stuff. I'm still waiting for a call back or e-mail back.

babi1542 · 06-28-2005, 07:24 PM

It looks like she has not updated her website. I would not worry if I were you!

Mya's_Mom · 06-28-2005, 07:33 PM

This what I read: This little girl comes from one of the cutest and smallest litters we have ever raised. At 11 weeks old her and her little brother weigh about a pound (he is actually 14 oz) and are adorable. They are spunky, playful and and have a personality to match their appearance. They come with a full set of shots and have been wormed three times, ACA registered and ready for a home. The main pic is not Coco. So I am guessing that her sister and brother are still avalible. I found a posting from my breeder that was a year old. He was shocked that it was still being posted at pupcity.The birthdate of the puppies even say August 2004. I think some of these websites want to make it look like there is a lot of puppies avalible so that people will go to the site.

vainchick5 · 06-30-2005, 02:11 PM

Ok so I talked to Patty, and as it turns out, I'm a paranoid freak..lol..she told her husband to add the new puppies picture and he forgot to delete Coco. Plus two of them are litter mates, so when he realized that he'd forgotten to delete her picture out, he just left it there to show the litter. She apologized and assured me nothing funny was going on, just that her husband is a "dingbat". She asked a million questions about Coco and told me to let her know when Coco needs a sister in the future. I can't believe I was so paranoid and weird. Its just with all the talk about mills and bad breeders I just want to keep people from getting dupped. I should have known Patty better than that. Thanks for all the reassurance

That's comforting to hear - glad to know it is all legit. But I still think you're smart for keeping an eye on it all. You can never be too careful.
