| Anyone in Atlanta? If so call them up and tell them you will be right over. Would be interesting to hear their response just for fun.

On another note, the day after we got Uni, we went to see this family who had yorkie puppies. There were 7 in that litter. The mom was completely golden. The sire was locked up in another room bc they said he's aggressive. Yet they said they breed bc they love the breed and don't do it for the money. ooooookay... They were asking $1300 for the males. At 12 weeks old, they still hadn't sold any of them. And they were huge and already doing stairs like pros! They live near me. I always wondered what happened to those pups.

| Scam!! I'm glad you asked first!! Wow they are getting good. Usually grammar is the first clue but I must admit this one seems well versed. But the story is always the same. Someone saying they have a situation where they need to find homes for the pups at a low price and want to ship them to you and will continually ask you where you want them shipped. These scammers always make me so angry. And it infuriates me how they are getting better with their fake stories and fake information, I can see how an unsuspecting novice owner could fall for this. Bunch of lazy lowlifes need to go out and get a real job instead of stealing and scamming from innocent people.

♥Trained by my pups♥ Donating YT 500 Club Member | Well I disagree with a yorkie having 7 puppies is a scam. It does happen. But I saw an ad like this for a horse trailer once We truck drive and happened to be in the town it was at. They said oh sorry it has been moved since then. I said okay to where. We would be there tomorrow. And it went on and on. Big scam. I stopped asking after the second move.

| Don't be fooled! SCAM!!!!!!!! There I said it big enough. When I was looking for my Boy I encountered these fools. Not only here in Florida, but also when I was on vacation in P.R. Also. I do a lot business for car parts on CL and I have seen them there too. Stay away from them.

| Must be a big Yorkie to have that many pups. I would go for this for anything. Find a reputable breeder in your area, get to know them well and look them and their facilities over and check on their reputation. Word of mouth can be a good way to go if you talk to people who show Yorkies or are in the local or nearest Yorkshire Terrier Club. Then get on a waiting list if you want a puppy; otherwise, sometimes a reputable, respected breeder will sell a selected adult dog or older puppy for one reason or another and you don't have to wait so long. Otherwise, you are opening yourself up for a scam or an unhealthy dog. People just don't sell and ship to your door a healthy, truly purebred Yorkshire Terrier puppy - especially females - for $300.00 - no way.

| What research has this buyer done on you and what questions have they asked you about your lifestyle, family, other pets, type of home, etc.? If they or any seller isn't checking with your vet and also vetting you - run!
