Greeders are getting more creative and deceiving by the day ....
 

I found this crazy ad today ... interesting at least , to say i am trying to figure out what kind of dog it is described at the ads . We all know about the "greeder" words, but these are not the classic ones, i never saw or heard these words before, but what caught my attention is that recently i was contacted by a sincere person searching for a puppy and looking for a "short-haired" prefferable... look at these words describing the puppies... so sad. And i have the feeling some unsuspecting people looking for puppies may fall for it .
Am i allowed to just copy the whole ad here? I hope so ... i am at work, can not call from here otherwise i would...
so sad :(

LOL she is describing the small ones as imperials. That is the name for small shih tzus.

Chachi is right about that. As far as I know tiny Yorkies are called Tea Cups. I just got involved with a major scam and I lost alot of money. The only good thing that came out of it was that I was so upset I went out a got myself a little yorkie and I love him to death. I learned never buy a pet on the internet unless you meet the breeder and see the puppies yourself. I should have been smarter but I was taken in.

While Greeders will advertise tiny Yorkies as teacups, there is no such thing as a teacup yorkie.
Tiny yorkies are still called "yorkies"

So sorry to hear that. Sometimes i think it is old and nobody else will fall for scamers... but than, it may be old for me , not for everyone else. That is one of the reasons i posted this here... she makes interesting descriptions that now that you guys mention, may be the Shihtzus description... tri-colored etc...
We have Shihtzus but it did not come to my mind at the time i read it...
the "short hair" was the main thing to my eyes ...
Glad to hear you got yourself a little best friend !
At least something good came out of your ordeal :)
XOXO

it's funny, but it's not.

I'm going to have a short hair yorkie...it's called grooming!

I wonder how a short muzzled leg look like :rolleyes:
weird at least.

i cant even get over this. im sitting in my kitchen with some friends and i read the post out loud and we spent several min laughing

This is just rediculous. I want to call her and like, "I'm sorry. Your ad confuses me. I've never seen a short-haired Yorkie except when they've just been groomed. Is this a new, improved, rare variation you've got?"

Crazy, *&^#@)$#*$... *cough*
