She does look sad...........this breaks my heart.

Zoiesmom11 · 09-05-2006, 05:55 AM

Why would someone add hairs to her picture?? Is she shy on hair??? I'm thinking of requesting more pictures from her!

Emmsmom · 09-05-2006, 07:34 AM

If you look at the third picture down and zoom in it doesn't really look like it has been touched up. THe others do when you zoom in but that one looks ok to me.

Did anyone else noticed the seller reduced the price today to 8k?

candybaby · 09-09-2006, 09:09 AM

She actually reduced it to $7,500 now, but she's going to have to go ALOT cheaper than that. She said all reasonable offers accepted, hey maybe someone should offer $1,000, hey its reasonable and since she's not showable I would say thats a good price for her.

Anybody!! I would but I kind of ended on a bad note when I e-mailed her last time, hey maybe thats why she's reducing it.

Zoiesmom11 · 09-09-2006, 11:41 AM

I think it's funny she's reducing the price! Of course, she has to, if someone was to spend that kind of money, they would probably at least buy it in person. I wonder if she is even really selling a dog.........

judyeve · 09-09-2006, 04:12 PM

If you read her post, she repeats herself over and over again.
Too many words, too many stories. I especially don't believe her about being willing to drive or accompany the dog to its new owners and that she doesn't know how it works. If I was charging $7 to 8,000 for something, I'd know how it worked to ship it there. She got it from somewhere. How did it work then?

Anyway, I'm highly suspicious of her story and think it's a scam. I just got a scam e-mail in which they were obviously trying to get my bank account number from me. The writer also went on and on with the same nonsense over and over again. If you asked your husband why he was 5 hours late, and he went into a long song and dance and gave you 86 reasons, would you believe him?

I just emailed the website that post was on asking them to please check out the validity of the ad, particularly since they want full payment before shipping the dog. I also emailed the seller telling her that I think she's scamming people and that they should be ashamed of themselves it isn't valid. I'd hate to think of some poor animal lover losing that kind of money if it is a con.

It is absoultly nuts that People will pay that kind of money for the runt of the litter.If anything she should be going for less than average.I have a 5lb Chihuahua and I still get asked if she is a teacup.I always say "no way she meets the AKC standards." The puppy is definatly a cutie and it's not her fault she is so small but as long as people will pay those crazy prices they will continue to bred them tiny.I think the breeder who intentionaly breeds them to be under AKC standards is just as bad as a puppy mill.

I don't think it's a scam, it's just a lady that seriously thinks she can get that much for a tiny yorkie. She's trying to cash in on the so called, "teacup" yorkie hype.

Amber_lv · 09-09-2006, 04:56 PM

someone needs to email her and ask her why the dog is photoshopped?

deniserae · 09-09-2006, 10:01 PM

tHAT poor little thing probabley doesn't have hair on it's head. That is obviously penciled in , she should be turning blonde there at this age and I bet she isn't close to 5 months. Seems really fishy.

makemepretty · 09-10-2006, 05:35 AM

I don't really think the pictures are altered but I do think it is a scam, that it's actually a much younger puppy than she's saying. She has no feedback and does repeat herself over and over.
