| The whole story (sorry very very long) [LEFT]This whole thing started out October 5th 2006, you had an ad up stating that you had yorkie puppies so i sent you a reply that i was interested in getting a little girl!!! Below is the email i sent: Name: Alexandria Date: Oct 5, 2006 hi my name is alexandria i live in burbank in california a have a really clean apartment an i was woundering if i could please adopt one of ur puppies i would be able to pay for she shipping fee just not the $500 for the pup if u choose to let me adopt i would e-mail u pics every month an send u videos to show u that the puppy is doing good please find it in ur hearts to let me adopt this pup i would spoil it to death thanks for ur time please if u could e-mail me back ~alexandria~ then she replyed with this: thanks for emailing me I would love for you to adopt one but sweetie I do offer payment plans I do understand everyone is not able to afford the price so how about this..I can allow you to pay for the shipping 125$ and pay 200$ for the pup totaling 325$ If you want to pay the 125$ for the deposit now and then the remander pay off in segments. Hows that Im willing to work with you if you really want the pup. Thanks So we had an agreed deal of $325 thank u so much i dont get my pay check till the 13th so well fix everything then thanks a bunch god bless an if u have pix could u plz email them to me thanks her email back to me: oh ok thats fine the 13th if you could keep me posted on how things are with you and I would be happy to hold the pup until then...and sure I attached it email thanks so much and god bless my email to her: when i do get the money on the 13th how do we do this do i mail it to u whats ur mailing address i was thinking i might be able to pick it up i've never had a puppy shipped im a lil nervous bout that but im sure everything will be okay She sends me care instructions and payment method: payment process My husband and I do are payment there a service called green dot If you would go to www.greendotonline.com scroll down to the bottom right hand side and type in your zipcode were is says locations of stores...stop in any of the locations and pick up a universal greendot moneypack...is many different brands if you turn the greendot over it will cost 4.95$ the cheapest one they have...you will then go to the cashier and she will transfer the funds from there....we will need the long digit confirmation number on the back of the greendot for are records....and thats it! Delivering Your New Puppy All puppies must be paid in full before they are shipped. Your puppy will be shipped to you when it has been weaned from it's mother long enough to eat and drink at will and with out prompting. We take every precaution to make sure your puppy arrives in your home healthy, happy and worry free for you. Some puppies, especially the small breeds such as Yorkies and Chihuahuas, can stay in our kennel up to 12 weeks. These breeds are more fragile when they are young and need extra time to mature and grow than the larger breeds. Although you may be impatient to see your new puppy, it is worth the wait to make sure he/she arrives at your home healthy and remains that way.When your puppy is ready to go to his new home 8weeks, we will arrange airline transportation of the puppy. Saturday is our normal shipping day but special arrangements can be made if Saturday is not convenient for you.We ship puppies primarily with Continental Airlines Cargo Service. Airline shipment costs $125-175 and that charge is paid to the airline. Some airports do not have cargo service and your puppy will need to be shipped VIP to the airport closest to you. Please choose the major airport you would like your puppy shipped to. Winter/Summer Shipment Warning: Due to low temperatures around the country, shipping during the winter months can be difficult. The temperature at the origin airport, the connecting airport and the arriving airport must be above 10 degrees. Airlines will cancel shipments to airports with temperatures below 10 degrees. Likewise, in the summer temperatures must be below 85 degrees for shipment. If your puppy's shipment is canceled due to temperatures, we will make every effort to ship the puppy as soon as the weather looks favorable. We may have to ship late in the afternoon and we have to be ready to ship any day of the week to avoid temperature conflicts.Your puppy will be in a comfortable, reusable shipping kennel with plenty of food and water for the trip. He/she will be placed in a temperature controlled and comfortable part of the plane. A veterinarian will inspect your puppy prior to the flight to certify that he or she is healthy. Prep for your new one Your new puppy will arrive to you in a Pet Taxi, or Pet Carrier. There will be a piece of carpet inside that the puppy can sit or lay on. Underneath this piece of carpet will be your paperwork, such as shot record, AKC papers, dog food information etc. inside a ziplock bag. Your puppy is up to date on all vaccinations but you will need to finish the series that is required for him to be fully immune to any of these diseases. Try not to take the puppy to a place that other animals have been and put him down. The dog food and nutri-cal will be taped to the top of the taxi. The airlines will feed them only if there is a delay in flight. I will give them nutri-cal right before take off so their blood sugar will not get low, you will need to give your puppy nutri-cal as soon as you pick the puppy up. I require that you call me the minute you have the puppy in your arms. I also like to know that the airlines have done their jobs by keeping them safe for us. Your new puppy should be in a confined area when you are not watching it very carefully. It will not know about danger since it has been protected so very carefully here. I recommend a human baby play pen at first, put a puppy pee pad in one corner and the food, bed and toys in the other corners. In the cold months you can put a clip on light with a 75 watt bulb over the puppy’s bed. (These clip on lights can be purchased at Wal-Mart) Puppy needs to be warmer than you are for a little while. The puppy will be able to move away from the warmth if it is too warm. When your puppy is not in the play pen you will need to watch very carefully not to step on it. Puppies love to be right under your feet, you will need to learn to walk with a shuffle to ensure not hurting it. Do not leave your puppy sitting on anything that it can not get down by itself. Falling off of a chair can kill your new puppy. Do not let children hold the puppy standing up. Puppies are very wiggly and can be dropped. A fall from a standing person can kill your new puppy. Your new puppy needs to eat and this is very important. The Science Diet Puppy dry food and water needs to be available to your puppy at all times. Puppies eat a little bit all day long. Do Not change your puppy’s food, it can cause diarrhea and possibly worse. If your new puppy will not eat, please do not hesitate to call me at home, , or email me. You can give nutri-cal to your puppy every day as a treat or reward for doing something good, it will also keep the puppy's blood sugar up. You can not overdose your puppy but it can cause diarrhea if given too much. Try not to over handle your new puppy. I know it is tempting to hold and play with this absolutely adorable creature but let the puppy rest as much as needed. This is important. You are going to do a great job, I just know it! God Bless you and your new life with this precious baby! |

| Wow that's complicated. At least you got a puppy! It sounded so much like a scam I thought she was going to take your money and you'd never hear back from her. People don't sell puppies(yorkshire terriers) for in the $300's so right there should have tipped you off this was going to be difficult. I'm really happy you did get one though, so many have been ripped off it's heartbreaking. Where did you find her ad?

I'm really happy you did get one though, so many have been ripped off it's heartbreaking. I agree. This whole thing sounds fishy to me and I woudn't have even went though with it. I am skeptical about buying puppies over the internet, unless it was a YT member that I new. |

| It's sounds like the "breeder" got scared and just bought a yorkie off the 'black market' just to please you. Especially if it wasn't the same puppy she was allegedly advertising to you... |

| What a mess. I can't blame you. With all the lies and fishiness I would want to know the truth too - just for my own piece of mind. How is your puppy? Is she healthy?

| Wow! I am so sorry to hear about your whole ordeal Alex. That woman totally sucked. At least, you did end up with a puppy. Too bad Coco don't have papers and you will never know where she originally came from. I hope that woman gets caught and go to jail Goodluck on your search!
