Groomer returned wrong yorkie - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I can understand how it could happen in a big shop, where one person might check the dog in and another person check the dog out.

Some people are just careless, and don't pay attention.

if the dog was quite shaggy when she took it in and it got a pretty drastic cut, it might look totally different. Yorkies similar in size with the same coloring look alike.

When my two don't have their hair up, I have to look twice to see which one is which. When their hair is up it is obvious because Chachi has a longer nose.

And most men don't pay as close attention as women do. He might have been in a hurry and had things on his mind.

Would anyones yorkie just go to a complete stranger? Mine would act afraid which should be a red flag to the person. She would try to get away, I know that I have seen my fosters look like a totally different dog after a cut but the thank god mom or dad is here to pick me up is a dead give away that i have the right dog, all the other dogs look, listen & lay there heads back down like "nope not my person" either it was a very dumb man who didnt mind being killed by his wife when he got home & a groomer on weed or a made up story to try to get a free puppy. Plus the groomer would be held reasonsible for replacing the dog & I dont think I would be calling same or next day for a new puppy or while I couldnt keep myself composed thru the conversation to some point.
