| yorkiepup.com I have a friend who just purchased a puppy from yorkiepup.com. She talked to the man over the phone and said he seemed so educated about yorkies. She is supposed to pick her puppy up Saturday morning at the airport. My question after reading all the negative reviews is, Has anyone ever had a good yorkiepup.com experience? If so, please share. I don't want to frighten her - but there are so many negative experiences. I did find a site with alot of good reviews, but who knows who is actually writing these reviews. Any info would be so helpful as I have no experience with purchasing a puppy online and having it flown to me. |

| I don't know anything about this website, but I would not want to buy a Yorkie I have not seen and it be sent to me on a plane. I would prefer to see the parents of the puppy and the environment it was raised in.

| I totally agree. We are in South Texas and they are in the DFW area. She was invited to go and pick the puppy up, but due to her work schedule decided to have it shipped on a plane. She has recieved numerous pictures and he is adorable. He is teeny tiny, weighing in at 1.3lbs at 12 weeks which also makes me nervous about the flying. However, the deed is done and the transaction has taken place. Just trying to get any info I can. |

| So in your experience the puppies were healthy? The little boy died because of an accident that occured at your associate's place, or when it was in the care of yorkiepup.com? Quote:

| They invited her to come in and see the puppy. She is 8 hours away, so they offered her shipping. She was also told that the puppy was guaranteed to be healthy or her money would be refunded. |

| Are you talking about the notorious Yorkiepuppy.com All I can say is RUN DON'T WALK! Please tell your friend that you should never purchase a puppy without meeting the parents in person, visiting the breeder and forming a good solid relationship. IMO one negative review for a breeder would be enough for me to walk away and he has many, many, many more than that to solidify his breeding practices. I have heard some horror stories that I must assume to be true. Do you know how to do a search on YT for Jeff Dane and Yorkiepup.com? I was going to link the threads that have been started but there where THREE PAGES! :EEK:

| Thanks ladies. It makes me sad to think of a tiny puppy on a plane ride, although it is very short. However, my friend based her decision on a tiny yorkie. My Chloe is 4 1/2 lbs and she is "too big" in her eyes. I have a friend who has a teeny tiny yorkie male and at 2 years he has not reached 2lbs. My other friend (who made the purchase from yorkiepup) is seeking a tiny yorkie like this. I know it is quite sick, but she has already paid the man. Are the puppies from there sick or are they bred unethically? My friend isn't the sharpest tool in the shed and now I am worried for this little guy coming here this weekend. |
