Amanda alpayton bought her choc Bailey from her....wonder which name was on the paperwork? Farrah Martinez? Karmen?

If she knows so much about yorkies she should know there is no such thing as a tea cup yorkie. BEWARE though I have found alot of the sites stealing pictures and putting the dog up as their own as a parent. This lady isn't the only one. I have been searching for a litttle sister for Baby and have come across several.

Really?????
 

Really there is no such thing as a Tea cup Yorkie? I always thought the really small ones where called teacups and the standard size are called Toy Yorkie's. That's what I thought. Are You sure?

I am sick to my stomach reading all of this!!!

I am so thankful that I was not screwed with my two long distance buys... How I ended up with two beautiful, healthy, reasonably priced girls is beyond me... I guess I found the right people.... It scares me to think that I could have found one of these scammers!! Ugh!

Thank God for watching over me!

A lot of people are mislead by that. People use the word tiny, micro, or teacup so they can sell them for crazy prices. For yorkies there is just toy which is 7 lbs and below. That is the standard for yorkies!

I do not mean to be rude...but is this a joke?
'teacup' is just a marketing term used by disreputable breeders, there is no such classification of yorkies and this is considered a red flag in any advertisment for pups for sale.

Glad you cleared that up 4 me
 

Boy do I feel stupid. Thanks for the info. It wasn't a joke. I guess I don't know much about my own dog huh?

I remember when all this was going on and someone did bring up the fact that she "accidentally" used Karmen on one post and Farrah on another and when it was brought to her attention, she never did address it. That was enough for me... I remember at first everyone was attacking her and then some came to her defense. It seems someone did buy a pup from her, I think someone even met her. Seems like there is even a pic of her with one of the members here somewhere. :(

That is very scary because if someone were new to Yorkies or puppies this would sound too good to be true. It is scary she has a website. I wonder if you could ever visit her place? hahaha. Ask for testimonials etc.. haha :)

I just read through those old posts to refresh my memory. She was caught in A LOT of lies. Like she said that that 3.5 lb dog being bred was an accident. But then if you read back she said that it was bred from 4 generations of tinies. The personal jet thing threw me for a loop as well when she was asked why she would ship a 1 lb puppy. It seems like she has an excuse for everything.

Looking for a sister for Baby I contacted members from the YTCA and have spoken with them and was specifically told there is no tea cup. Some are smaller than others. I was told tea cup was just a marketing gimmick to hike up the price for the pup.

Please don't feel stupid, there have just been alot of baiting posts in the past to start controversy on this issue. True questions are always valid, never stupid.

Thanks

I think that all of us one time or another thought there was really a teacup. The small size is what attracks a lot of people to the yorkie breed. But I have read that poodles (who come in a variety of sizes unlike yorkies) are the ones who started the term teacup.
It's great to learn stuff about yorkies, that's why YT rocks!

I hope puppy scams people like this and also all the puppy mill people rot for eternity.

You are so right!! I thought I was buying tea cup poodles. Thats what I thought I was getting. They are now 7 and 10 pound dogs. My yorkie is at 4 pounds. You never know. People see them all together and say the yorkie is the tea cup. The term did start with the poodles. To me it doesn't really matter I love them all, BUT the yorkie is my baby.

It is a strip mall, we were just there for the Greenville Show not that long ago, and stayed in a hotel on that road, got lost so many times while we were there, we got to know that road QUITE well..LOL Please, if you can go check it out, DO!

You are SO RIGHT, that is not a chocolate Yorkie, for one the pigmentation is not liver, it is black, so even if she tried to "sepia" tone the picture to make it a little more brown looking, it's not a brown yorkie. I'd like to know if SHE knows what TYPE of certification you get for Patellas, I'm not going to say it here, because if she is reading it will only educate her more on correct terms to con more people! There are SO FEW yorkies in this world whose Patellas can be certified, it is sad, but seemingly ALL of hers have perfect knees...AMAZING! Wish I knew her secret! This is all making me so upset. Lorraine I am GLAD you are here with your googling knowledge, you are one of the best "detectives" I know! Please help me with this!

Farrah MARTINEZ???? She said her husband was from India! Do you know any Martinez families in India?? LOL His name is supposedly Sonny... hmm Sonny Martinez.. VERY indian sounding...wonder how easy it would be to REALLY find these people, and I wish whomever bought the puppy from her would speak up!

This just simply has to be stopped, people can NOT treat other people like this, play on their sympathies, lie and con, I am so blown away by all of this.

Yeah, I'd TP her house at the very least! lol *grr*
 

What an a$$. Some people think they're clever, but in the end, the truth usually comes out. And the world IS a small place! ;)
"What goes around, comes around." I think that in your state there are some false advertisement laws that you can put up against her as well! Maybe go to purchase a puppy and then tell her that you'll stop by and pick up the puppy-somewhat unannounced and bring the cops with you! Oh, and before you go make sure she has the puppy microchipped or tattooed and have her submit photos or documentation to you before you go so you've got some paperwork to back up your sale to the RIGHT puppy!
