I have a question...a serious one (meaning I'm not trying to be sarcastic). How can you tell they may be potential scams? What do you/did you look for?

Thanks!

Well the Beiwer must be a scam since it cannot be AKC registered as stated i n the listing. The AKC does ot yet recognize Beiwers.

I am not sure what is up with the Yorkie but the beiwers .. I think I understand
One they are way to cheap. Like way way to cheap and two Registered/registrable (AKC, NKC, etc.), This part wrong.. they can Not be registered AKC.
Did I get that right Irene???

Using the word "teacup"
shipping "worldwide"
age is questionable, mentions 4 month size but says dog is 6 months old.

saying this dog is "homeless" and needs to be rescued but it comes from champion lines? yaright

IMO no one should ever buy a dog without visiting the breeder in person first.

I think I remember the picture of the Biewer puppy from when I was looking for one almost a year and a half ago.

Same dog and same background, right?

What they are charging in all the ads is very cheap...Passing customs, health certificates, plus shipping etc...WILL COST more than $600...

Pretty much, in addition, the pics of the Biewers belong to someone else and they don't live in Spain or UK.

There is not enough info on the ads.

As for the Yorkie, another memeber mentioned, the DOB doesn't match for the Yorkie. And tell me when someone selling a 'teacup' asked $600. Ch sired Show Potential FEMALE puppy would be much more than that.

Exactly! Pic belongs to someone that is not the person advertising unless she moved (doubt it). And that puppy is over 2 by now..lololol

Thanks!

The obvious..lolol.

Prices are way under for what they are selling. They are out of the country. The ads are have conflicting info about the SAME puppy.

Ads will vary, but someone said (Cindy? or was it Pat?) that if it sounds to be too good to be true than most likely it is! These are definitely TOO good to be true!

Yorkieluv · 12-30-2005, 03:11 PM

I agree, something seems not right with those ads...the I'm a homeless puppy one definitely doesn't seem right.

Thanks. See, you learn something new everyday.

Hope I do that for my students. It's nice to be on the other side of the desk sometimes!
