| no N0 NOOOOOOO !!!! That is a SCAM for SURE!!!! Take that person username, such as "plat432" or whatever it is, and do a Google search on it. Also, those places such as Petfind want to know when you find a scam and they will put an end to that user. Please do the Google thing or send me the name the person is using and I'll see what I can find out for you. |

| Just for fun, tell him you'd like to see a picture of the mother. You will probably be emailed a gorgeous, show perfect dog. Then.....ask to see a picture of the pup and the mother together.....it WON'T happen. There will be all kinds of reasons, but it WON'T happen. |

| First, if that baby weighs 1lb at 12 weeks the formula most used to project her adult weight would result in a 3 pound adult. AND, is she considering shipping her? That would be enough to kill her if it is a long distance. Many airlines will not ship a live animal if the temp in any of the areas are above 85 and below 45.. That would mean a trip via land carrier. Personally, I would not touch this ad with a well, anything..I am gonna go check out the ad. I have a friend who bought a male from that area and she still cannot get papers on him and there are other problems.. |

| hmmmmmmmmmmmm, I don't know what to tell you, if it was me, I'd look the other way. The shipping would be the same price they are asking...... Something's not right. I would do some more research. Why are you on puppyfinder? There must be a baby out by you, I would want to see the place, meet the Breeder and most of all & hold my new little one before I did anything. Good Luck!

| Well, that was a bust..I refuse to pay money to get info for anything that I am considering buying..That includes a lot more things than these Puppyfind ads. Sorry, but I still think it is a scam.. |

| My My I knew that sounded like too goo of a price. I think your gonna have trouble finding a small yorkie for those low prices. Ususally breeders have more time vested in the smaller ones and price them accordingly.

| I don't think a reputable breeder would even ship a puppy that small. Run the other way. I'm curious, when people say it is a scam, do they mean it is a puppymill? Or, are people saying that it is a person who is selling a sick dog and/or one that isn't registered? Just curious. |

| You can find many online breeders that arent a scan. I would look elsewhere then puppyfind. I still think it is the best when you can see where the pup comes from though.
