I'm sure the scam will go something like this....they say it's $150 for shipping....then a problem arises....they need more....they will go ahead and send you a certified check for A LOT MORE than $150....probably more like $1,000 or more....they tell you to hurry and cash it at your bank and western union them the money so the airport will take it and they can get your puppy right out to you....bla bla bla. You are out $1,000 or more because the certified check is no good, and you get no puppy because it was never intended for you to have it anyway. That poor puppy in the 2nd photo you have has very weak eyes...each facing to the sides of its poor little face.

It doesn't look like a yorkie but it sure is cute whatever it is.

Strange, that was my first thought..."Is this dog alive or stuffed?"

That is a very cute picture- I feel so bad for the puppy look at those SAD little guys!

They look like yorktease's. Yorkie and maltese mixed. They are cute, but do you think they took the photos off the Diva pup site? Wierd.

I agreee. It really does look like a Yorkie and Maltese mix. Poor little guy looks so sad though.

I have seen some maltese with their ears up as pups, they fall as they grow with the weight of their hair. It definately has maltese hair. I have had so many people ask me if my yorkie is a maltese. Some people are just stupid!! IF they were the breeder they would know which one they had.
