Need Expert Yorkie Opinion

[Junoline]

hello, i am in the process of buying a pup from the breeder crystal hardacker, the puppy is 7 weeks old and will be ready in march. After reading that experiance that a recent buyer has had with this woman just a month ago about not even being a purebreed or even close to one i am very hesistant to buy from her now. I have already put down a deposit of 100 dollars towards the total cost of 400 dollars. I had went to go see themwhen they were 5 weeks and they looked very much like the way yorkie pups would look, but im afraid if i buy them from her that i would be getting something else otherwise. Just today for kicks i googled her name and lots and lots of negative things came out, i wish i would have done this before, when i went to her house she seemed very kind and had all this paperwork...i dot know what to do???? i am afraid i wont be geting a purebreed. I have already payed the 100 dollar deposit towards te pup, so my question is what shold i do?? should i wait it out until i go to pay the rest of the money and see what the pup looks like, or should i tell her that i have read many bad things about her and how she con'd people and gave them mixed puppys..i have very litte money..was savin up for a yorkie and dont want to get burned. She made me sign a paper sayin that the deposit was on refundable unless the puppy somehow died of sickness under her care? please if anyone has any advice, thank you

The advisor I spoke to told me to find out how much the dog is worth, like get an estimated value for her so I can sue the breeder for the difference. Does anyone know how I can find out how much she is worth?
Thanks!

I read this and all the comments and I am perplexed. Her "worth" is what you paid for her. The woman was deceitful and commited fraud! That should be the basis of the suit. You paid for a purebred yorkie and did not receive such.

I agree. It's more about the deceite and fraud. Your puppy is so cute, but you expected a yorkie.

Run from this breeder!
If she is lying about the kind of dogs she breeds what else is she lying about?

OK, you signed a non-refundable deposit contract. Take your loss and leave her alone. I see you have been saving for a yorkie but from what has been said and results from googling I would count my blessings that is all you have spent. Call her and explain to her of your findxings and that you are not comfortable with her.

OR....tell her you would want to take the pup to a vet and have a it tested for what kind of dog it is. She if she agrees to that..ha, I bet not but who knows. Then you give her the reamining balance. Let us know what she says because this is going to get interesting.

I went to this lady's house all the way in sun valley, ca and she showed me the puppy along with papers claiming that it would be a purebreed but after reading this i dont know what to think...I have only seen the way they look at 5 weeks and they looked fine so i put down a deposit of 100 dollars. I havent really heard from her much, and when i texted her that i wanted a picture of the puppy now at 7 weeks she said that they moved too much and had problems taking pictures so she sent nothing. Do you guys have any advice...should i go along getting the puppy in march basically waiting it out and seeing what the puppy looks like or should i tell her that from what i have read that i dont want a puppy from her and how do i go about getting my deposit back when she made me sign this paper saying that i coulnt get my deposit back unless the puppy died under her care??
please any advice would be much appreciated, thanks.

Omg, she did the same thing to me. What is your personal email? I will send you the text messages we've had together. She couldn't send me a picture. Claimed her camera was broken and she didn't have internet. Then a week before we meet she sends me a picture that is blurry and tells me it took her 25 tries to get it. What breed are you buying? I also saw the dog I bought at 5 weeks and it looked fine. Did she have just the dog and the mom at the front door? You should know the mom is not even a Yorkshire Terrier. She is a Silky Terrier! Did you see both parents? I wouldn't trust that breeder if I were you. I currently filed a small claims court case about her. I consider it lucky you found this forum thread.

Where did you find her listing? I want to make a review about here there as well.

Just an observation...but doesn't the price give it away that these are not quality, purebred Yorkies?

There are a lot of people selling yorkies around this price on Puppyfind.com. The prices there range from $300 to $2000. It is kind of suspicious but there seem to be legitimate sellers asking $600 - $700 on that site.

Well, I think the advisor took it from the angle that I want to keep the dog and ask for some money back based on what she is actually worth. I found a seller on Kiiji asking $20 for a terrier shih tzu mix. But, plenty of mutts are available for free. The pound asks for a maximum of $122 which includes spaying and vaccination fees.

Many Puppyfind ads are scams...some say $400 and that includes shipping.

I forgot you paid $750...thought it was $400...another thread.

You're right. I paid $400. The same as the breeder is asking of Junoline. I agree that the price was just too good to be true.

if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

[chachi]

Puppyfind isnt a good place to find a breeder there are alot of scammers on there
