Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | OMG I WOULD BE so pissed ! Well - I AM pissed... for YOU ! and those poor poor people getting scammed - how can these people live with themselves ? I hate to say this - but you should WATERMARK Every picture you have on your site with "YORKIEPASSION (insert State here) - Do NOT COPY" and that can help.... unless they photoshop it all out - that just SUCKS ! |

| How can people possibly do that to other human beings. You have to work just like they do ,and they are not compassionate enough to say hey this is wrong ,and we're not only playing with their money ,but their hearts. People can be so cruel ,and thats why I would never buy a dog off the net.

| I've sat and re-read the post, and this just really disgusts me. So many "two bit" breeders out there looking to make a buck. Stealing pics of other puppies to pass off as your own has got to be the lowest form of breeding/selling pups that there is. I HOPE YOU CATCH THESE LOSERS AND IF YOU NEED MY HELP, IN ANY WAY...PM ME! It would almost make me feel "violated". |

| Omg!! This samething happen to me when I was looking for a yorkie..I got an email with some pics in it saying they had 3 babies available and sent pics of them. I was then looking online at pics and notice one of the pictures the lady had enailed to me in images on google. I emailed her back and asked her why she took pics off someone elses website she replied because it looked JUST like her puppies and her camera was broke. Funny thing was she wanted on 500. for 2 puppies which included shipping, however she would ONLY take Western Union. I work for a very large bank and know that Western union is a way people can scam you big time. So, I told her to grow up and stop trying to scam people who actually WORK for their money$$!!

| It's really hard to photoshop a huge watermark across your picture out so it would be a good idea, as much as i hate to do it as well, put a big watermark across your pictures. I would also HIGHLY reccomend contacting puppyfind.com and let them know! B/c they CAN do something about it!

| OH how HORRIBLE!! Good LUCK! I sure hope you can help them thwart these idiots. All of the pictures we post here are easily copied off the internet. If there is a creep out there taking pictures, there may be OTHERS of us who have had beautiful puppy pictures stolen from here. It might be a good idea for anyone who has posted beautiful puppy pics to go check out puppyfind to see if this is so... I sure hope not, and I am really sorry to hear your pups are being used like that.
