Does this look like the same dog to you?

Why is that? Reputable breeders, and sellers (just like Teiya with her clothing and hair bows) have absolutely nothing to worry about.

The only people that have to worry about a bad review are the people that do things like this, and cross thier fingers that they will either on thier own just roll over and take it or attack them and try to guilt them into accepting being blatantly screwed with some psychotic and unrealistic justification on thier part.

I hope that doesn't mean anytime a photo of a Yorkie is posted on YT that was taken outside means that everyone is going to assume that the dog is being made to live outside. That would be the end of some fun photos.

The dog is not kept outside. As pointed out by various other unrelated YT members the 2 pictures were taken outside. She is not being kept outside. Did you neglect to acknowldge the one of her in her little dog bed that was waiting for her? Or the non existent ones of her in the clothes that absolutely don't fit her due to the misrepresentation of her size. The only time that she is outside or in her crate is WHILE (which doesn't take long mind you) our Teiya is eating so that she can *gasp* actually eat without being driven off and overtaken.

Im not taking anyones side except that poor 14month old that has already had too many homes. Please Please, take your children and go see the next pup you may buy. Make sure everyone is happy and the dog gets along with everyone including your 3 lbs yorkie. You two ADULTS need to work this out and fast. Its so sad and wrong what these 2 parties have done to this 14month old puppy. The whole thing was mishandled. Please do us all a favor and give this pup to YorkieHaven. They will find a good forever home...This is message is for the Seller and the Buyer.....

Have you looked into filing a Florida Pet Law Complaint Form?

Forms, Division of Animal Industry - FDACS

It looks like the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services will mediate your dispute for you.

Poor Emma. This entire situation is a mess and I think that both the seller and buyer need to take this matter private. A life is involved and needs to be handled as such. I can see many wrongs done with this sale, but that is the past and now instead of bickering on a forum, things need to be handled for Emmas sake. I do choose a side, Emma's.

No, not at all. But when the dog looks scared to death with its ears back and its eyes bugged that just sends a ???? That pic looks like a dog in the pound. very sad.. I have a rescue, the first day I brought him home he was scared to death and this lasted for about a week. and guess what. I took my kids and my other dogs to the rescue to see if he would be a good match for my home.....duh.....

I hear ya. Emma needs a special home with special training for her aggression or she could end up in worse shape. If she's not spayed she could end up in a mill. Once she's in a cage who cares if she's aggressive. I don't think some people realize just how in jeprody this dogs future can be.

Sad... sad.... sad! I know I already stated that I am sure this is the same dog in the pictures and also mentioned that the seller DID disclose in her ad that the dog had some aggression issues. That was not meant to insinuate that the OP should have known better. Just that greater care should have been taken.... possibly a contract written up to accept the dog on a trial basis. That being said it is too late for that now. Jasmanea, as the breeder/seller of this dog, I truly believe it is in your best interest to bring this little girl home and refund the original purchase price plus one way shipping to the buyer at the very least. If you truly believe that this girl was represented fairly, you will have no problem rehoming her to the RIGHT home. Don't ruin your reputation by letting this go. Honestly, as a breeder, I would want my puppies/adult dogs to go to the RIGHT loving home where they will be well taken care of and where they will be safe. I hope you step up and do the right thing and contact the buyer to arrange return of Emma.

To the buyer, I can see you are doing everything in your power to work with the seller. I wish you the best of luck. I wish Emma a happy loving home.

If the poor dear was shipped from FL to UT how very sad. I was lucky enough to use my freq flyer miles to pick up Maxwell - I think it's a shame to ship a dog that far. Who wouldn't be cranky and traumatized.

We weren't adopting a rescue. We were adopting a laid back timid but playful mate for our other yorkie and children. You can preach all that you want but I guess the bottom line is that you don't support the purchase of a yorkie or any animal for that matter over the internet. Which unfortunately due to dishonest misrepesentation I have to agree with. It is however a widely accepted and common thing. We have a friend that is a breeder of Beagles locally that took first in show at Westminister. When you use her as a benchmark of what to expect from breeders we obviously misplaced a lot of trust in the Seller expecting some integirty from someone that is involved with overseeing the well being of a fragile and deserving life such as Emma and expected that she wouldn't lie to us and put her into a situation that obviously was not a good fit for her, but hey, it's not her problem anymore now is it?
