| Warning Just want to warn people that I do not have any ads on Puppyfind. A jealous breeder actually spent money to have bogus ads under our name Roobear Yorkies. Beware of any puppy on Puppy Find .... never know if they are real or not ! You would think people would act like adults aye..... If you buy from any Breeder esp in TX Dallas area YOU BETTER DO A HOME VISIT ! |

| I know Mandy and I was shocked that they would pay 30 bucks to have it up. I have had 15 calls for english bulldogs and I have never even seen one in person One good thing is it brought a lot of traffic to my site but they had stolen a pic of frankie and put it up. People need to grow up. I made my web site look like the red light district warning people it is not my ads..... I did talk to the Sheriff and we will file charges and it carries a min 10 yr prison term with fines which I would give to rescue. I am not sure what Puppy find is going to do yet but they have all the info since they paid for the ad. |

| Wow - I'm sorry. I was just looking at your website last night because I was looking at Biewer breeders...I didn't know you were a YT member. I personally wouldn't use puppyfind to look for a dog...I know there are a few reputable breeders that use it, but you sure do have to weed through a lot of bad ones and scams to get to the good ones.

| Puppyfind is notorious for having stolen pictures posted. I personally would never buy from a breeder who listed there just because it is full of puppy millers, byb's and scammers. They read these forums, too. We've had pictures stolen from the Maltese forum I belong to and every time someone posts about a particular ad with a stolen picture, the ad disappears quickly. |

| I love YT ... just I do not come on very often. That Puppyfind is a scary thing if you ask me. I did have Dolce on there but I would not pay to be a member. I got the weirdest calls for her and I took it off. Then I was getting calls for english bulldogs heck I have not ever even seen one of those beastly things in person. Take your time searching for your baby it is a lifetime choice This whole thing ticks me off ... I am beginning to think this internet is the work of the devil as our neighbors daughter took her life over gossip on this dang thing. Then people doing bogus ads ect... People will do what ever to harm a person or to make money. Thank you for the visit to my site...right now it looks like the red light district Guess I have a jealous breeder around... They removed the ad Last edited by qraven; 01-27-2008 at 12:46 PM. |

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | My computer, crashed again. I was going to say, no matter where you look for a puppy beware of scammers.....there are some grubby folks out there. Some folks call them greeders... Sorry, your experiencing this. Someone must think your biewer is outstanding if they are trying to sell him behind your back!! |

i look at puppyfind often to see what is out there and recently as this week, I have seen little Ms. Thang and Toby posted on several states. They were neither one ever posted on puppyfind but were sold to YT members. ms. Thang, aka, gracie, is everywhere right down to her little hair bow | |

| Funny that this thread should show up. Just yesterday eve. I happened across puppyfind.com. I had thought about asking YTers how they can stop themselves from e-mailing some of the sellers with a thought or two (not positive, if you must know.) Call themselves "farms," "puppies have access to grass outside their kennel," "tiny puppies love children." Yikes! Lots of red flags. See how much I have learned from all of you. Now I have learned that some the advertisements are fake. Joanne |

| Yepper some are fake. The Cops said the person that did that to me will be for harrassment and flase something and internet fraud fcaa something. Anyway it may get nasty for one jealous person. I still cannot figure out why someone would waste 30 bucks to post the ads out there. But for them to steal Frankies picture and use it on that site really set me off ... the ad for the bulldogs I would have laughes off but not the one with my Frankie... I guess I need to research things like that more. So if you guys see my name or babies on that site please let me know. I will put a picture of Frankie on the picture section area.. |

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | Someone did that to me last year. I wasn't smart enough to report it then but I sure would it I find my pictures on someone else's ads now. |
