He is ACA registered, 8 months old and blue/gold. We sold him to her for $600 (very cheap). He was about 6-7 lbs.

She came to see him and she liked how he was calm and friendly. She said that she wanted a yorkie that was calm because the yorkie that she used to have was a barker. She had us give her a copy of his papers so that she could look into his pedigree or whatever. Then she added that she had been sued before and just wanted to be careful.

So she left and came back the next day w/ cash. She was also asking me & my fiance what we did for a living (which I thought was sorta rude). She wanted a receipt, and she didn't like how I put "As Is" , "no refunds". I had a bad feeling about her. She wanted something written on there that she could bring him back if the vet said that there was a problem. She EMAILS me that evening to say that I took advantage of her and that I wanted too much for the dog. She goes on saying that the dog had psychological issues and that she wanted her money back. I wrote her back right away. I was nice about it and said that I just wanted a letter from her vet stating his diagnosis and that I would want a second opinion from my vet (she could be present, I would've cared). She didn't respond for TWO days! ["]She calls and says that if I don't return the dog she will take me to small claims court. I don't think I was asking for much here, just a letter from her vet. I have a feeling that she sues a lot of people and that she is just trying to scam us.

So my boyfriend noticed that the first email that she sent the day she bought him wanting to return him, was cc'd to an attorney. So I talked to my Mom who is a paralegal and had her talk to her attorney about all of this. She told me that this will probably be thrown out of court, but I am worried about myself and for the dog. I hope she isn't being mean to him or anything. I don't know what to do about all of this. I don't want to have to refund the money to her because Sassy is back to herself and soo happy that he's gone. But then I don't want the male dog in a bad situation either (which he was when I first got him).

Ooooh and it gets better...she's now saying that the yorkie is a silky and that silkys only sell for $50. What? The yorkie had papers! What is she talking about? Im worried, I don't wanna be sued, nor do I wanna go through all of this hassle. Im sooo confused. Any Advice would be so greatful. Thanks!

I told her to let me know when she gets this letter so that I can schedule an appt w/ my vet.

She responded with that I have until Oct 17th to refund her the cost of the dog. AND to boot now she is saying that he has a skin allergy and that I owe her ANOTHER $123 for the vet bill. She's calling over and over again. I have only discussed things via email with her that way everything is documented. Im waiting for my Mom to call me back before I go any further (she's a paralegal). Oh...and this lady stopped cc'g her attorney on her emails but Im still cc'g mine.

I just want this whole thing over with. I don't want this law suit going into my public record or my credit report (can it do that?). I don't even want to bother taking him to my vet but she hasn't even provided me w/ proof from her vet AND she hasn't even mentioned having any paperwork from her vet. Something is really fishy! She's a scam artist @ work! I can't wait until this whole thing is over. AND to boot, she is threatening to have him DNA tested to see if he's a real yorkie. Don't the owners of his parents have to be willing to do that? I doubt that she will go that far. She's a real piece of work! :mad:

I agree, I would want the dog BACK and find a better home for that pup.

There are so many scammers that all they are actually looking for is to see your belongings and security systems to steel at a different time in the future. Just cant trust anyone nowadays. I had a similar scam happen to me. They told me the puppy was full of ear mites per their vet. But, supposedly, they were too small for me to see.?????The vet said that I wouldnt have even known they were there. I offered to pay for the vet and refund the money and get the puppy back. But, nooooooooooooo, they wanted a complete refund plus keep the puppy. I said absolutely not, that it was one or the other, and they were not getting a puppy for free. About a month later, they called the sheriff office and animal control on me. Funny, they came, looked and played with my dogs. Had a great time too!!!!!
Please just get your puppy back. After that, put a restraining order on her if she keeps harrassing you. Best of luck!!!

Mardelin, this was not a public issue it was private, the client attempted to make it public, I was called by several daytime shows, which of course I refused....the client wanted the DRAMA, I chose not to particpate in their childish games nor give them their 15 minutes of fame.

BTW anyone that may have questions about what I have posted please feel free to contact me personally...I have nothing to hide as well anyone is welcome to my home at anytime.
