I dont know the exact circumstances of your situation, do you have any proof of payment and the the phone number and address of the seller? I suggest you see a puppy in person and only hand money over for exchange of a pup. I would be way to afraid to buy sight unseen. Have you contacted this person and if so what are they saying??? We need more details... Dawn |
How can you say you are looking for a teacup pup in one thread at 8:58pm and then on this thread say you found one in houston and paid for it, but never got the pup..????????????? Sounds very fishy to me!!! |
Maybe she was scammed and is now looking for another pup?? Just didnt post in the right order lol...Id find someone local...go visit some local breeders and see whats available or what might be available in the near future? Dawn |
no the sacm happend a few days ago, and im dealing with it through the police. but im still looking for a small yorkie because i never got one yet and still really want one |

After the education I have gotten since wanting a yorkie (mostly from yorkietalk) I would never deal with anyone using the term "teacup". I also would look locally for a pup. I cannot imagine taking a baby from its mother, father and littermates then sticking it in a crate and putting it in the cargo hold of an airplane. You also want to visit the dog before you get it. How were they raised and socialized. Do the human grandparents spend alot of time with them. What do their parents look like. With so many yourkies out there now finding a good local breeder should be a cinch. |
If indeed this is legit..... can you give more info on the "breeder"? I'm near Houston and wonder if it's anyone I may have talked to when looking for a yorkie. |
I am sorry you were scammed. You are not the first person on here to be scammed. You have to be very careful because there are so many puppy scam ads out there. Good luck finding your puppy |
I don't see a problem with getting a puppy shipped. I think almost everyone would choose to pick up a puppy in person if they could, but it doesn't always work out that way. I had my Remy shipped to me from New Mexico - he is absolutely fine and thriving. Just wanted to point this out to the OP - if shipping a puppy is the only realistic option, then go for it, but do check out references first. Also, it's always a good idea to check if the breeder is not on the AKC susspended list (there's a sticky somewhere with that information). And finally, word of mouth is a powerful tool - always ask around first before sending your money. Good luck with getting your money back. |

I'm sorry you got scammed. People are just so lazy anymore and don't want to work for their money - instead they take hard earned money from innocent people like you :( But really, in your search of a puppy I would stay away from breeders that advertise "teacup." It's just a marketing word that mainly "unethical" (using this lightly) breeders use. Good luck getting your money back and finding another pup! |
