:thumbup:

thanks for your advice,i will be reporting the papers, will also be takin her to my local vet 2mora, see what he thinks! he paid alot of money for her, and her attitude when we questioned her today has made her more quilty! and us more angry! thank u all for ur comments so glad i came across this site :) xxx:D:D

Let us know how things go.:)

Yes...If your boyfriend gave her a bunch of money...I'd try and get most of it back...keeping the pup. She should only get what would be reasonable for a mixec breed pup.

Take her to the vet n do a dna test to see what breed she is or is she's bull breed or mix

I had a yorkie/pomerainian and he looked like a rottweiler puppy with short hair like yours. His hair did grow longer and real thick after going through his"ugly teenage stage" with the craziest terrier hair. He had yorkie coloring and became a beautiful dog. He grew to over 15 pounds and was a wonderful dog.

I was brought up with dogs, and they are lovely animals, l lost three dogs in a house fire.

But, some owners are callous and will dwell on the emotional side of people who want a dog, that's why it took myself and my wife to decide to get another YT after we lost our one.

We sought the credentials of the owner, but eventually we found our Misty, and although we were not sure at first, our friends on this forum put our minds at rest.

Misty is a Yorkie, But l would urge anyone who is looking for a dog, wether it be a Yorkie or not, check it out fully.

I always have this motto, if you love your dog, the dog will give that back in protecting you and will show you love.

I feel a little off by saying this..

The Lady that sold You the Dog, did it for profit. By misleading Your Bo, She committed Fraud. Legal action might be needed to get any of Your money back. The only problem there is they would prolly make You return the dog.

I've seen cases like this on tv court and if she wanted a full refund then yes she'd have to return the dog. However she could argue that she's grown attached to the dog and is only suing for the difference in cost. If her boyfriend payed a purebred yorkie price which is obviously way more than the cost of a mixed breed dog, she would be refunded that amount.

Yes.. She should get the going rate for young, mixed breed dogs at local no-kill shelters and have that available for a judge. I would NOT give that pup back to that person. I dont think you would have to.

Good point, if the seller would agree to a partial refund, then the dog could prolly stay where it is now.

But, it sounds like the seller is standing on the fact that it is a full breed dog. Which I think We all assume that it is not. If it went this far, it would be up to the seller to decide how far they would be willing to go. The seller sounds like a real heel!

My guess is that the puppy was very affordable and was advertised as a cheap purebred. Probably 50% cheaper than others he found and that's why he went with this person. This is how these crooks work. Feeding off of people that may not be able to afford a yorkie at cost. They advertise them, sell them and you come to find out that it really isn't full bred.

Like someone else said, you may want to get back some of your cash, paying what you think is owed for the dog and getting the rest back if you don't want to lose your puppy in the process.

Tell her it's only fair and there is no way this dog is a yorkie.

My only concern with all this is that your BF payed more than 100 bucks for this sweet little baby and you may lose it if you fight her on it.

Threaten and give her an ultimatum. Money back minus 100 bucks or you bring her butt to small claims court. If you win, you get your money back for court costs.

The DNA test probably cost about 55 bucks if you buy it online and that will give you SOLID proof. If you want to keep the puppy I recommend you tell the judge you are willing to pay her some money for it.

I agree that she is most likely mixed. But adorable just the same...

I have seen puppies that looked similar to your baby in pet stores-aka sellers of puppy mill dogs- marketed as yorkies

FYI yorkies don't come as "mini" or teacup. It is a marketing scam often they are the runts of a litter or not healthy.

If it really bugs you could get the puppy DNA tested for around $60 I think. If it comes back as a mixture call the breeder to see what they are willing to do to set it right.

looks like shes half jack russle terrier i'd say,but shes deff a cutie!!sometimes the best things in life are the unexpected, you may have wanted a pure yorkie, but she'll prob be the best thing that ever happened to you,shes adorable... and you can always get her a yorkie sibling down the road:)

He paid over 350 pounds which I'm guessing is over 500 dollars, I have a few neighbours with them an they paid in around the same some less, it isn't even the money I care about, it's the fact she's swearing blind it's a full bred I'm goin to vet 2mora so will ask about DNA def want to find out what she is thanks for all ur comments will keep u posted xxx

Well, you could try telling her you had a DNA test done on the pup and that you can prove she is not purebred. It may by scare her enough to give you some of the money back. Threaten to report her to the authorities or take her to court. I don't know if you have a small claims court there but there must be someone that can get you some kind of justice from this horrid person. If she continues to get away with this type of fraud and theft she will continue to raise more mixed breed puppies and sell them to others.

Hi; a northern Ireland YTer!!! Yay!
What did your vet say about your gorgeous little gal? Have you contacted the lady again?

Great another Irish lass. Is there small claims court there? I'd eat my table if that is a full bred Yorkie.

Don't you have a registry in Ireland for purebreeds?

Recourse for her the purchaser? Better Business Bureau reporting? Scamsters dot.com or something for Ireland?

Looks like a cross between a yorkie and either a jack russel or miniature pinscher. She is absolutely adorable though. What did the vet say?

Yes, I'm not sure if it works the same, but we defiantly have a similar system to your small claims. We don't even just have one registry- we have the uk kennel club And Irish kennel club! But if the ad only said registered and not kc reg then it's more likely to be dlc (dog lovers club- similar to your continental vs American kc).
It would depend on how many dogs she has and how she has them licsenced, but it would certainly be worth talking to the dog warden of her area to see if she can be held accountable for something!

What's a dog warden? Fascinating sounding term.

First of all there is no such thing as a tea cup Yorkie or a mini Yorkie, so the person you got her from does not know what she is talking about. Second, my 10 week old champion purebred Yorkie is black and tan but you can see some blue coming in, so she might be. She sound super cute!!

Looks to me to be a Yorkie/Jack Russel or possibly Yorkie/ Dachshund. Definitely not a pure breed. The first thing I noticed is that the snout is too long. Looks like a sweet puppy. I would keep her but still try to get at least some of my money back.Good luck.

looks like a possible yorkie mix to me as well. Adorable she is!!!

Please prosecute this woman. It's not for the money, but for the fact that she is committing fraud. That is a crime, and she shouldn't get away with it. You won't be seen as loving your new puppy any less if you prosecute this woman. She will do it over and over again to profit off of her poor parent dogs, and the puppies she is selling. She may sell to a person who could drop off their mix breed puppy off on the streets because they're so angry about not having a full bred Yorkie, or they may treat the dog poorly by neglecting or abusing it.

Hopefully this works out in your favor and that woman doesn't breed more dogs. She clearly doesn't care about her dogs. Good luck.

BTW your puppy is very cute.

Erm,head animal control officer? They inspect and liscence breeders and multiple dog owners (very throughly on most cases), check out compaints regarding dogs, pick up strays, and run the pounds
They are basically either a godsend or devil (you have heard of save lennox? That was a dog wardens fault.) but most of the time they are very passionate about what they do- mine for example will be out within the hour if you report something bad to him, and inspects breeders and multiple (unaltered) dog households on a regular basis and you can breed within reason on the latter liscence, but if a papertrail says Someone had overbred, the fine would be shocking! If she is a liscenced breeder then his say will have a hefty weight when she is reported for false advertising and fraud (since the pup has papers) an if she isn't liscenced, maybe she should be? There would be a fine for that ya know! At the minute the law isn't Great at protecting puppy buyers and the pups, but hopefully the new proposed legislation will help! (it has holes in it, but overall looks pretty promising!)

That is one cute puppy, but I'd even be tempted to take my girls and head to the greeders house to call BS to her face!
