I wish you the best in finding the perfect baby. Im glad you caught this before if got to out of hand. Best wishs to you and your wife.;)

Just wanted to welcome you to yt:) looks like you have already been given some great help here;) good luck in your search for the perfect babie:) :)

I am really happy you did not support this person either. I know you and your wife must be heartbroken not to have a new baby today but i think in the long run you will be thankful. As you can see there is so much info on this site and i look forward to seeing your new addition when you find the right one.

Good Luck finding your perfect puppy.

I am glad you are not getting the puppy from this person and supporting what she is doing..I hope the original breeder can do something also..like possibly sue her??? I know you will find your perfect yorkie soon!!! I also hope paypal refunds all of your money!!! Keep us posted!!

...:happyboun Wonderful! But, you'll soon find that you are the ones 'owned'-by, and most happily so! I hope you find your perfect match.

Hi, Paypal allows you to dispute a payment. Either phone them or look for the prompts on their webpage. The major thing that would worry me about this purchase is... the health condition of the puppy or genetics of parents. Just a thought. Good luck.

If when going through paypal, you had the money taken from your checking acct. call the bank and see about having a stop payment..I had to do that at one time(I screwed up)...if on a charge card, call the cc company and explain what happened to them, they may be able to take care of it for you, since you don't have what you paid for..
Good luck with your search for your perfect little yorkie...they are very addicting

I am just shocked at the price where i live it is 400 for a male and 600 for a female and they are very reputable breeders. Maybe it is just because of the small town people around won't pay that much for a furbaby. I was in the pet store buying a leash and a lady was in there complaining how she had to pay 375 for a akc minpin show dog

Again, thank you all for your feedback. Here's an update.

I ended up being contacted by YT's Tigger36792 who put me in touch with Natalie of Natalie's Yorkies, one of YT's recommended breeders. Natalie worked out a deal for me to get her Alexis puppy and we're hopefull she'll be shipped to us Friday. We're very grateful for the support we've received from the YT community, and especially from Deb (Tigger36792) and Natalie.

Ironically, less than 30 minutes after I had sent my payment to Natalia, Deanna called to see if I was going to meet her at 3 PM to make our pup/cash exchange (she called about 2:40 PM and we live at least 80 miles from the town we were supposed to meet in). When I told her no, she sounded shocked. She said she had e-mailed me replies to my concerns, but I never received the e-mails. She also said she didn't have contact with Stringer Creek Kennels until I told her what I had found. She then asked if I talked to a speicific person, and I remembered one of the names from Stringer Creek was Cia. Deanna then said she had purchased some puppies from Cia but she hadn't received them yet.

Deanna seems nice as do the people at Stringer Creek I talked to. Still, I feel much more comfortable with Natalie and I'm glad I decided to go with her.

We've decided Alexis will become Lexie, and my wife and I are preparing to brave a Sierra Mountain winter storm to get her home safe and sound and continue giving Lexie the love Natalie has already lavished on her.

Pics will be coming. Thanks again everyone.

wish you the best Jeff.:)

Welcome to YT:thumbup: :thumbup:

It sounds like this will have a happy ending! I hope you stick around and share your adventures with Lexie with us!!

I have purchased puppys from Natalie and you wont be sorry. All the dogs I have gotten from her were perfect. My Vet said she has the nicest yorkies he has ever seen. I know you will be very happy with Lexie...You should rest easy, you picked a fine Breeder.

I agree!! I love her dogs and feel she is a wonderful lady and breeder.
