Donating YT 7000 Club Member | IMO, that is a scam. Something that seems too good to be true (such as a purebred yorkie for $400 including shipping) usually is too good to be true. Also, the fact that she wants you to pay through western union is a big red flag. I wouldn't do this if I were you, something just doesn't seem right. I would suggest you try a local breeder instead. good luck

| Ok..Im from spain (Majorca) and I dont think I would perchase a pup online from so far away,8 hours is a LONG way for an 8 week old pup.About sending the money first,I wouldent do that either. Also,you dont really know much about the pup you are getting and there is no way of finding anything out about this Lady as she is here (spain) and you would have to speak the language to be able to do research on her online etc.Unless you are from spain too?? (did I miss that part? lol) If you are in the US,I honestly wouldent get this pup,it may be the healthiest pup in the world and she may be a super honest breeder,but the shipping would be really harsh on the pup and you dont want to risk paying for him/her and then something bad happening on the trip. I have been looking for a male for months too and it was SO tempting to just have one shipped in from another country,but I didnt want to take the risk and just had to be more patient.I hope you can find a baby thats closer to you!!! Good luck!! |

| From one Houstonian to another, I think this is a SCAM! There are plenty of quality breeders in this area. Please don't resort to this because of a cheap price |
