www.puppyfind.com
Allot of scammers there, as you can read the people who have been taken on that site. Although I like the site myself. You just have to check people out and get references from them and check them out also. It is no different then allot of breeders out there scamming people from their web sites.

Contact puppy find and they will take care of it from their end. I had this happen one time and I emailed the lady that stole my picture and basically threatened her and then I kept posting Picture thief on puppy find along with other names for them. heheheh

I just checked out the site that I never knew was there. I can't believe how many yorkies that are out there that are homeless. I would just love to bring all of them home...if it wasn't a scam that is. I just can't believe scammers are just down right stupid!!!

Someone's pomeranians pictures from Dogster were stolen and put on puppyfind as well. The Pom was ADORABLE. Really tiny tiny like a lil puff ball.

The reason so many are listed as HOMELESS is this...when you go to register a pup, you must check one of these boxes before it will let you go any further...

Champion bloodlines
Champion sired
Show potential
Homeless

Therefore, most people check HOMELESS even if it's just a pet for sale.

it is hard to believe some of these ads, beautiful yorkies 500.00 shipping included. What a hoot.
If somebody answers an ad like this one, they deserve to get scammed. I have always been taught there are no free lunches. You pay one way or another. Also, there are some ads that say the puppy is 15 weeks old, or whatever, then have a full gown yorkie on the ad with beautiful long flowing hair. grrr....

I had very good luck with Puppyfind.com not sure if this is the site u used as your spelling was puppyfinds. I researched the breeder and she has been in business for over 35 years, now her daughter is taking the business over. I paid 1300.00 plus 300.00 shipping+20.00 Ins. Don't believe an ad to where they are selling the puppy cheap! You get what you pay for.

Don't be fooled into thinking that you get what you pay for because in Many, Many cases this is absolutely not true. Especially in places like puppyfind as they advertise often for T-cups & jack up the price claiming that a T-cup is something special or unique and are bred for their size & health wise this is not a good thing. Also they often have breeders advertising for a specific color as a Chocolate or blond yorkie & this is not special but a default in the gene pool and they charge $$$$$ claiming they are "rare" when in fact they are not.

Most of the sites here have a disclaimer warning you to watch out for scammers! With the ammount of Byb and mills advertising the sites cant check every ad!

There is reputable breeders on puppy find but then there is BYB, puppy mills and scammers there too. Best thing is to always do your research before giving anyone money. Even if you have fallen in love with the picture. You can fall in love with another. That is what puppies do to everyone.

3k9lover · 09-16-2013, 09:24 AM

If you contact puppyfind they will do the rest they will take the pictures down and also block the user- I had to report someone and the pix and info they were using were gone within the hour....hope that helps Remi's Mom

go to www.puppyfind.com you will see info on reporting scammers....
