| Tea Cup Yorkshire Terrier RAFFLE http://www.staryorkie.com/ Found here: http://www.nextdaypets.com/directory...abb7-7552.aspx Quote:
That's something that I personally have never seen before. I wonder how much they're going to make from people buying a ticket? I wonder if it's legit? Regardless, they are selling "some of the best looking Tea cup Yorkshire terriers, Pomeranians and Maltese puppies." Looks like a puppy mill to me! Oh, and you can't see pictures of the Sire or Dam.

| That's disgusting and repulsive. How sad for those little babies. Notice how many she has available! That must be a baby factory there.

| I researched them (and dismissed them quickly) when I first started looking for breeders in California. They are terrible (in my opinion).

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Is this for real? How repulsive. What kind of person would want to obtain a puppy in this manner?

| Can we all say, "PUPPY MILL"?? This is sick!! I looked at the website and in very tiny print under that picture for the raffle, it says (I listed it in RED!!) Participation Fee: $ 5 http://www.staryorkie.com/images/pup...0Gol%20(2).jpg The puppy in the picture is not the one who will be given away! If you look under FAQS it also says this: Are your puppies registered? Yes. All of our puppies are registered with the KDF (Korean Dog Federation). The registration certificate you will get for your new baby has info such as- D.O.B, breed, color, 3 generations of registered sires and dams and more. We usually get the papers for the puppies about 3-4 weeks after the puppies arrive. If your new puppy’s papers were not available for you at the time of pickup it will be mailed to you via U.S.P.S certified mail as soon as they arrive.What is the difference between KDF/KMA and AKC? The KDF and the KMA are the equivalent to the AKC in Korea. KDF – Korean Dog Federation and KMA - Korean Migyun Association are doing in Korea exactly what the AKC – American Kennel Club is doing in the U.S. They collect and document canine litter information. All together, the information you get on the puppy on both certificates is the same. In both cases you know your puppy came from a known purebred family. The rest of the differences are like the differences between Washington Mutual and Bank of America. Two companies that are doing the same thing. Can you send me pictures of the parents? No. The puppy’s parents are back in Korean with Gina’s family, and unfortunately we cannot provide their pictures. For all nursery questions regarding puppy’s nursing and care – we will make sure you know everything you need to know and have everything you need to have ready for your new baby before you leave our nursery or get your new puppy. For now we recommend you to go over out Tea-cup tips. You might find the answers to your questions there. And if not, and you still want to know, feel free to email or call us and we will be happy to talk BUYER BEWARE!!! This screams PUPPY MILL to me!! |

| It seems to be the new thing now - getting puppies from other countries. I heard Russia was becoming big for shipping puppies out. I know quite a few stores/brokers are getting from Brazil. They all seem to use the same line "We get them from our family who have a farm and raise blah blah blah." It's a puppymill believe me and if you think the dogs suffer here imagine them in a country where there aren't even laws to protect people let alone animals. Elaine |

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | I might be totally off, but I think that that might be a scam. I mean, imagine how many people they're getting money from. I don't think there actually is a dog. Maybe that's just me. Regardless, that's a sick idea and who knows who's going to end up "winning" that poor puppy. He is such a cutie.

| The Reason Behind This -- "hits" This is a sick way for a new WEB SITE to increase the "HITS" (Traffic) to their site. The more "clicks" to this "FREE GIVEAWAY"?? site. Bumps up their listing on the search engines(Yahoo,Goggle, ect..) Then when someone does a search--up types in "STAR------".com Not mention they will be making $$$$ on the tickets to pay for the hosting and more. THIS SCREAMS SCAM!!!! I'm sure this "GIVEAWAY PUPPY" will be given to a close friend for photo shots--then given back. Look at the prices... NO ONE charging these fees is going to GIVEAWAY A FREE PUPPY. They do not list the age? |
