| Does this look like the same dog to you? Because it doesn't to me. Maybe I'm missing something. I don't know. The first dog is the one that I bought. Represented as a 5lb dog with a sweet disposition who is gentle and docile. The second dog is the one that was shipped to me weighing 6lbs 12oz (on an empty stomach mind you!) who is horribly food aggressive and attacks my 3.5lb yorkie. Granted, I was informed that the picture that was sent to me was a month old. I just didn't expect this dramatic of a change in 1 month. This was $1100 of my hard earned money. I'm not only disappointed, but I'm really upset at the feeling that I've been scammed by a fellow YT member. What would you do?

| I think it looks like the same dog. But that's just my opinion..... Could it be stress from the new environment causing the behavior issues?

| That's not the same dog, there's no way the color on his face and legs got that much darker in a month... I'm so sorry... Is there anything you can do?

| I don't think they look a like at all. The ears and colors are different.... And the one you got looks a little longer in the face somehow.

| They don't look like the same dog to me either. The color is different and the ears are definitely different. An adult Yorkie is not going to gain almost two pounds in a month, either. |

| I agree he/she looks darker in the last 2 pictures but maybe it's just the camera or flash? You can't see his/her ears in the last 2 pictures... it looks like they are down because she is scared or something. |

| Correct me if I'm wrong but the first dog appears to have soft, silky and thick hair. The second dog has thin, almost non existent wire hair. I really don't think it's the same dog and when I contacted the seller, she got really irate with me because I addressed some issues we were having and how the dog was so much bigger than what she told me. She knew I wanted a companion for my 3lb dog. This dog is very aggressive to my little yorkie, gets on my table and takes food off my children's plates when they're trying to eat and have even displayed aggression to my kids while they were eating. Her disposition has become a major concern for me. And when I brought this to the attention of the seller, she made ME feel guilty for wanting to return her because the dog isn't what she presented to me. The dog is 14 months old and I purchased it from a member here. Unfortunately, I see no resolution to this problem. I'm not sure what to do here, but she's just not working out in my home with what's been happening. I'm really sad about this.

I wondered that too. I've taken pictures of her inside, outside, with the flash, without the flash... you name it. My camera isn't exactly a cheap camera but if the seller has one that can make that dog look that cute, then I want one of those cameras! When I mentioned how different they look, I was told to blowdry her head against the grain. I did that and she doesn't look any different.

| First off, if she's showing aggression towards your kids, get rid of her... I had a shih tzu a little over a year ago that did the same thing, and he ended up biting my daughter in the lip. Try to get the lady to take the dog back...

| She's been here about a week and a half. I'm trying really hard to integrate her into my house but she's attacked my 3lb yorkie several times now and twice we've been to the vet for injuries to the little one. If we're eating, I have to crate her. If Teiya is eating, I have to crate her. If someone comes over, I have to crate her. And she's gone after my 4 and 5 year old for no reason too. This afternoon, I was sitting at the table eating lunch and Teiya was at my feet, as usual. This dog comes flying through the room and attacked her because I had food and she thought Teiya was getting something she wasn't. My boys were having pizza this afternoon and the dog got up on the table, stances my 4 year old and starts growling until he backed away far enough, then grabbed his pizza and ran. This is NOT ok. None of this is ok.

| JMO but it looks like the same dog to me and if I remember correctly, the YT member selling her said that she was aggressive with one of her yorkies. I would have thought you would take that into consideration prior to purchasing

I'm sorry. I feel the dog was misrepresented in a lot of ways. Jasmanea didn't want her. Whoever she sold her to before me returned her, so why am I the bad guy because she's not working out in my home? Bottom line is I'm stuck with her.
