I've had puppies shipped from several states and the puppies arrived fine. The cost was around $200. for counter to counter. Hope everything goes well. She is a cutie. :) |

I didnt have Gucci shipped. $500 is way to much for shipping. It seems to good to be true. Just be careful. Others have given you great advise. |
First I have to say,,, she is adorable! But I would not ever have a puppy shipped. I am so happy for all of you who have had happy outcomes with having your puppy shipped. I'm just not a trusting person. I like to see up front what I am getting and have one on one contact with the person I am dealing with as well as the puppy. That's just me. I do wish you the best of luck and very hopefull that there is a very happy ending. I do know that if everything is on the up and up,,,,,, this little furbaby will be getting a very good home! |
This doesn't sound right to me. I would fly out snd bring her bsck myself for that $500 or I would do a puppy escrow and not release the money until after the vet check. Be very careful here. |
!!!Scam!!! Hey guys! Just wanted to update you. I did not call them last night, but did email and ask for updated pics. I also inquired about the shipping costs. They replied by telling me that the cost of shipping is $170 and the dog cost is $320. Well, I thought they were just looking for a good home and not trying to sell. Not that this is a problem, but it did send off red flags. So.....I went to puppyfind.com this morning to look at the listing again, and guess what, not there!! But I did find this one, with the same dog. What at SCAM!!!! http://www.puppyfind.com/view_listin...26page%25253D1 |

When looking for puppies - PLEASE research these breeders of these sites - many people get scammed and their hearts broken. There are vast amounts of people now trying to take your money with the pretence of selling you a cute puppy - go with something you can CHECK OUT thouroughly and please don't believe any sad/misleading stories - Most good breeders that ship will make you feel totally comfortable - straight up sale. |

good. I would worry more about not meeting the breeder and the environment this little girl was raised in til this time. If you know someone that got a dog from her and recommended her I'd go for it. I got my "Crystal" when she was 3 yrs and was just finished nursing her littler of pups. With an older one that may have potty habits pretty well set in place, I knew I would have a little more work but it was sure worth it. Good Luck What type of guarantee does she give on health and also ck on how much insurance airline gives. If you pay $1200 and they only give $600 you might think about getting more. It's been awhile since I have checked on how much they cover. |

Oh good ! When I was reading your original post - I went all the way through and was very glad to see your last post because I was going to YELL "Don't do it"! lol - Good for you :) and GOOD LUCK on your new puppy ! ps...your heart was in the RIGHT PLACE...it's so sad so many people count on that to rip us off - but I do commend you and your husband for trying and wanting to rescue. |
When something seems too good to be true , you can be sure it is a scam . Glad you don't fall into it . |
I should have read the entire post instead of just the first. I don't think you can ever be too careful when you are looking for a pet that will spend the rest of their life with you. There are so many scams and unethical people and so many "puppy mills". Even though I got my yorkie from a very well know breeder; I flew to Chicago to pick her up. |
Thanks again to all my friends here at YT!! Is really heartbreaking when you just want to help all those dogs without good homes and then it turns out a lot of them are scams!! I just don't understand people sometimes. Anyways, I will keep you guys updated on the new pup situation. I have a couple of great breeders to choose from, so hopefully we will have our little one soon. You guys are wonderful!! :) |
I've e-mailed the seller to let them know we are on to the scam and posted a review on the site. See how long it takes them to post a new one. |
The new add indicates that he is free now!!!!! It just sickens me that they are so many dishonest people out there and the scams... :eek: I sure wish you luck with your quest to find a new baby. The right one will come along from the right breeder. :D |
I know! And in the first add the yorkie was female, how does that happen! And they were in UT and now they are in CA!! Sick people!! |
It is sad how people will prey upon people who 1. want a yorkie, and 2. want to rescue a dog. It is a dilemma with me as well. I feel bad when I see the rescue dogs at Petsmart and from the animal shelters that I paid so much money for my dogs...but I have the peace of mind that I know where they came from, what their history is, and the only behavior issues they may have are from the environment I am providing (I gotta figure out why Miss Pippa suddenly barks at all strangers, now....where is Cesar Milan????LOL). |
yorkie rescue Have you tried Yorkshire Terrier National Rescue - they are very honest about their needs, age and health. They come up to date on their shots and usually have had a dental cleaning. The adoption fee is usually $150 to $300. |

The ad was still there today, so I have e-mailed to puppyfind support to alert them to the scam. We'll see if that gets a response. |

I have never had a dog shipped, in fact, to get my little stud dog, Peppy, home, I went to HUGE GIAGANTIC costs and extremes. Due to the circumstances involved, I had hubby take a day of vacation, fly from Georgia to Washington (we purchased a SAME DAY ticket) drive 4 1/2 hours and pick up my precious Peppy and fly him back in the cabin safe and secure under hubby's seat with hubby's big toe for company. |
....and more importantly, GOOD LUCK in finding a new furchild. Hope all goes well. Can't wait to see pics. |
Farrah, if you wind up looking for a puppy, I know a breeder in SC who is very honest and reliable. His puppies are very healthy and are reasonably priced. He does not advertise so if you are interested, pm me and I will give you his info. I think he might have some pups ready in the near future. again, good luck in your search. |

but it was my toe. Not a peep from her and she acted like she had been with me her whole 3 years of life. She is still so good that way - I can take her anywhere and she is happy...............................oh, I forgot not where kids have bb guns. I know she's never been hit but she is so frightened. I hate those things. Crystal and I should write a letter to ban them. |
Way to go, Joan, you are MY kinda gal. Hope Crystal gets over her fear of bb guns..... My little Peppy is quite the little man about town as well. Unless it is strictly forbidden, he goes to all of the horse sales, and events and usually he gets more attention than the horses. It is so very cute to see the little 3 lb. dude puffing up and fussing at the horses!!!!! We are gently teaching him to be a quite little dude -- it helps when you smuggle them into nono places!!! LOL |
I know I have said this many times before, but thanks again to all of my friends here at YT!! You guys are such a wonderful support system! I called Zeus' breeder yesterday and she is expecting a litter next week. So, I am pretty certain that Zeus' little sister will coming from her, even though it is really his neice (sister dog is the mother of the pups). We are very excited and I will keep you all updated!! :) |
Farrah, congratulations!!!! You will have to start a "countdown" thread to keep us updated on how long it will be before your new baby will be born, and then home. Countdowns are so much fun!!! |
