| OHMYGOD Puppyelite.com I have to share this story...I just got a phone call from a family asking for help and advice...they bought a pup through puppyelite.com, paid through paypal $2000 for a bulldog puppy. It was to arrive 6 days ago, this couple goes to the airport, opens the crate and what do they find but a little yorkie female puppy. The shipping papers said bulldog yet all the papers sent by the breeder said yorkshire terrier. The client refused the pup and asked for it to be shipping back to the breeder. She contacted the breeder immediately, no response through phone call after phone call and email after email...Delta also contacted them leaving messages the puppy had been returned to JFK and to pick it up! He refused to pick it up and left it at the airport for now 5 days. The breeder finally got in contact with the family once they threatened legal action. He responded merely by saying he will give them a bull dog puppy from his next litter, he didnt have one to ship them right now. This poor little yorkie pup has been sitting at the airport, the family knows nothing about yorkies nor about this pup, her age, health or anything. The family finally told Delta to ship her back and they would keep her. They are so upset she has been crying for 5 days and at her wits end. She will be shipping back to Portland tomorrow.............. I am so damn angry I could spit bullets!!! Please beware buying from place puppyelite.com his name is Steve. She is contacting an attorney as well as USDA, AKC, BBB, Attorney general, Humane Society and anything else she can think of. Just wanted to vent grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

| OMG! unbelievable I am so sorry for the family who had to go through this.I am really sorry for that little innocent pup that wasn't wanted on either side.we really have to be careful when buying animals off line.they have feelings too.they are irresponsible breeders.how could they just put this pup off on these people.I love yorkies and believe that they are the best and second to none but EVERYONE doesn't want a yorkie.these breeders should be shut down for their duplicity.

| Is this Puppy Elite located in Brooklyn? If so, I also got scammed by them, but he told me his name was David!! Stay far away from this place. BTW, he is NOT a breeder, he buys these dogs--he is a dog broker. Not only is he a dog broker, he is very unethical one! Do a search of my posts, I have made several posts in regards to Puppy Elite. |

| This kind of stuff disgusts me. I feel bad for the people who didn't get their pug, but I feel really, really bad for the Yorkie who isn't wanted by anyone at this moment. Poor thing has been at the airport for 5 days! |

| The poor puppy! What a terrible story. Sadly, I heard all kinds of horror stories like this when I was looking for Paddington. (I couldn't find a breeder close to me, so I had to find one via the internet... I was so worried, but because I was cautious I got a really good puppy from a really good breeder!) It's terrible because people are using these living creatures as tools to scam very loving families... all they want is money, and they don't care who it hurts. My heart breaks for the poor puppy as well as the family. Paddington was so scared after being shipped on a flight that was only a few hours, I can't imagine the fright of this poor little puppy being shipped over and over again, and then being left alone for days! I'm angry too!!!!!! -O |

| Poor baby, makes me want to take her and show her what love is. Is is not being neglected until the mix-up could be worked out. I am as angry with the breeder as I am with the buyer.

| I hope someone is feeding and taking care of the poor Yorkie ... such a shame that people have no conscience ... Not only did the pup have to endure the 5 hour flight from Portland, but he had to endure these 5+ days at the airport. So sad ...

| I agree with Grace2006, Shame shame on both, how could anyone just leave that poor baby at the airport. So what if the pug (or whatever dog they ordered) was not correct....beware of some buyers also. |
