New Puppy? Let me know what you think
 

I am interested in getting a playmate that is princes size and i might have found it. The only thing is that it would have to be shipped and i am not sure, so i wanted oponions (sp) on people that have shipped, and had puppies shipped to them. The price of the puppy is $185.00 and shipping is $200.00, the puppy is 11 weeks old and lives in London! Here is here pic to by the way. Also i have already emailed the owner and she explained that she got it for her 2 year old, :omg: and she has very bad allergies! so please let me know what you think!

Beautiful puppy but hard to believe it is only 185. That's usually the price the scammers start with. Be very careful especially since it is out of the country. How did you find it? Hope it wasn't puppyfind.

Seems very inexpensive for a puppy and the airfare is also. As long as you feel the lady is legitimate it sounds like a good deal. Although that is a long flight for a tiny puppy. Let us know what you decide. Good luck

Wait, a Yorkie puppy is less then $200? Something doesnt sound right. I paid $500 for my furbaby without papers and I consider that VERY cheap. Have you heard of pet scams? Person pays for a puppy to be shipped but then it never arrives. http://petcaretips.net/pet-classified-ad-scam.html

Ive also heard of people being sent SICK puppies.

Plus, the main reason why I dont like puppies being shipped is because you dont get to see where it lives, see the parents or inspect the puppy before purchase. IMO, thats VERRRY important. I dont care if it was the best breeder in the word. You can eliminate all the problems I dicussed above by seeing the puppy in person.

Please, when you do find a puppy that you are interested, go visit the breeders home, see where it is raised, inspect the puppy and the parents. It will save you alot of heart break in the end.

Hi.........I seem to remember ( its been a while ) when I was looking into importing from London ( its more complicated than just shipping..........you have customs, etc...... Anyway, I tought/think importing into the US from London the dog has to stay in quarintine for a good while at your expense and I would never put a dog through that..........I don't know, but just wanted you to make SURE of ALL procedures for importing from there to here. Good Luck.

Wow, he IS cute. That sure would be a lonnnnng plane ride, wouldn't it? I would be terrified to even buy a puppy in the USA that would have to be shipped. I guess I am just not very trusting. They give you a picture of a cutie, and then BAM when it arrives :eek: Then what are you going to do? Ship it back? I dont know........

He is a cute, but please try to find a puppy here in the states, perferably someplace you can drive to.
Sorry.

my thoughts exactly! He's ADORABLE but stay away!

I am beginning to think it is a scam also, i knew that was awful cheap! Also here is the email she sent me!

Hello,
My name is Dr Rosemary , a medical doctor and also a consultant in Obstectrics and Gynaecology at Whipps cross university hospital in North London.
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

Thats A FOR SURE SCAM, STAY AWAY!!

I believe if the parent was a doctor, they would be aware of their childs allergies.

Angie

I would stay away as well but you may want to ask her who the Breeder in the States was and contact her if there is really one.

Scam
 

This is a popular scam...if it was not, believe me dozens of local people would pay $185 for a puppy...quite frankly I would not go to the trouble to ship for $185. Vet fees for exporting would eat any profit up. A friend was in GB and it cost over $200 just for export documents...and that was a long time ago.
