I got my female pup(diego) at age 8 weeks froma breeder in the state, last month when i went for a surgical conference in Baylor college of medicine, Texas.
She was gotten for my 2 yeats old daughteras a birthday gift,since my mother also get me one at age 2.
Unfortunately,my daughter being an atopic patient(hyperesponsive state) developed allergies to my lovely Diego, which lead to my daugther reccurent episodes of asthmatic attack.With consult to respiratiry physician, my daughter was advised tokeep away from dogs, cats,and other domestic animals which may provoke her attack and subsequently give Diego for Adoption.
I love diego so muchthat my only concern for her is to have a good home.She is cute , lovely, adorable, and obey command.
She is AKC REGISTERED and has just been checked by a vet doctor.She has received all her vaccination and shot dewormig.She is presently 3.2lb, her mom was 6lb and dad was 6.5 lb at maturity. adoption fee cost $185 and shipping cost $200
pls contact me if interested

Thanx

Dr Rosemary

Sweetie, Stevie Wonder can see that is a SCAM!

The puppy is very cute! But, I wouldn't do it! It is a very LONG plane ride for such a little puppy. He could have health problems that you don't know about. You could send the money and have the puppy never show up. I would much rather meet my puppy in person and meet the breeder in person. I would never take a chance on having a puppy shipped. There are also tons of internet ads from people in Kenya and all over Africa advertising free or very cheap yorkies. It is a SCAM! The puppy usually never even existed because people will give out their info thinking they found a great deal, and the puppy never even arrives!

Thanks for all your help i reported her to the first link i was given in this post, sent the whole email! Thanks again, everyone!

tdoves · 12-28-2005, 05:46 PM

Not to sound rude, but her email to you was riddled with misspellings and poor grammar therefore I highly doubt she is a doctor. Yes you can be educated and misspell a word or two but come-on... :-) Not to mention she didn't know her daughter has allergies,... I know the price sounds nice but you will probably pay for it in the end by getting a sick puppy or no puppy at all. Keep looking!!

cajungal · 12-28-2005, 06:19 PM

Personally I would not look for a puppy in an internet ad like that. Good for you that you reported her! TONS of scams! I would never take a chance having a puppy shipped either. Yorkie don't come cheap, as I know as I am still looking myself. Look through your local paper or a legitmate website like some of the people on YT are breeders. And they are geninue people who care about their yorkies and what homes they go to. Maybe you can travel if you have to. Most breeders are nice enough to work something out with you money wise. Most won't lower their prices, but have payment plans.

Scam, Scam, Scam! And I am glad the person is now on our forum so we all will know better if we were to be encountered with them.

wnalegria · 12-29-2005, 02:47 AM

This is a scam- no doubt. You need to run as fast as you can from this one.
There is no way you can ship a dog from London for $200.00. The airplane costs are more then that and then all the health certificate costs and shots needed to enter the US. Airlines do not ship under 1 1/2 pounds unattended.

There are a lot of bells and whistles for dogs to go through to be imported/exported from Great Britain. There is no way she is a honnest posting.

Muffie's Mom · 12-29-2005, 03:17 AM

If you read the email very closely, you will realize a DOCTOR did not write the message. Poor grammar - poor punctuation! It doesn't sounds good to me and I'm no expert.

rscaggs · 12-29-2005, 03:14 PM

OMG!

People must think that they can hit me up now. LOL LOL LOL Take a look at a new email i got today from another one! But this one is not a doctor this one is a Pastor! Gotta read this!

I'm laughing because she spelled gynecology incorrectly she is supposedly a Gynecologist. LOL. If it was legitimate, I would assume the puppy is 185 pounds and 200 pounds to ship.

Hey that link was a cool place...loved her letters...
