| Scam? hello everyone i need your help i would like to know if this is a scam? these are the e-mails she sent me. Yes she is still available.She is UTD on shot and wormed.Vet checked and will come along with her vet records chews,clothes and toys.She has all the necessary paper work.She loves to cuddle;loves care rides and children.She likes to play alot and gets along fine with other pets. [my reply]hello, just a few more questions , were are you located, how muchfor her and si she spayed? [her reply]No she's not spayed.we are currently in San Francisco and could ship her to you if you wish.It will take only a couple of hours.All i need is your full names and address and the nearest airport to you.$350.00 as far as i can figure it out the 350 is jsut for the dog, that doesnt include shipping. i dont feel comforabul shipping a puppy. she also sent me three pictures of her. she also posted this ad on a canadian classides site. i can't seem to post the pictures of her.

| I would say it is a scam for $350 for the dog. That is way to cheap for a Yorkie. Unless it is a rescue. P.S. How old is it?

| I'm guessing it is a scam. Whether the $350 is for the dog or the shipping makes no difference because you won't get the dog. Tell her that you have a relative that lives there and they will pick the dog up. See what she says to that. |

| I am in Canada too. I bought my Yorkie Praise Kennels in Saskatchewan. Here is the link. http://www.yorkiedogs.ca/ They also raise Pugs and I know people who have boughten pugs from them. Excellent breeders, average prices. They will ship, and I know they're honest folks. We plan to buy a second Yorkie in 2/3 years and I wouldn't buy from anyone else. I've had Finnigen for 2 years. I got him when he was 8 weeks. He was already paper trained. Microchipped and first shots when he came to me. He has been nothing short of amazing, even with his current broken arm, which is healing nicely. My vet raves at how beautiful he is. If you're having trouble finding a girl, give them a call. Even if you don't buy from them, maybe they can recommend someone in your area. Shar-Lee & Finnigen

| Where is she in California? I live in California. Give her my number and tell her to call me with directions. Tell her that I will pick up the pup and pay her in cash when I get there. I know how much I wanted a Yorkie when I was looking For Sassy. I never even responded to ads for less than 500 because I believed it was either a scam or a problem with the dog. I hate those people that prey on those of us who really want and love our pets. Sammi |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | please don't respond to ads that offer cheap yorkies - and especially ones that want you to wire money - DON'T DO IT !!! You'll lose your money and never see a puppy. |
