Um I would keep her and then GET A REFUND. What a joke. Those people are scamming you. Get a refund and report them to the better business bureau.

barneybu 01-02-2008 12:46 PM

Yeah these people are LIARS. Um she was the last one there, oopsy- yeah right. What liars. And I HATE it when liars are so nice- remember you would never know most scam artists- they blend in with everyone else. Did you ever hear of a scam artist who was mean? um, not usually!

Hey guys-

I will take some new pictures of her and post them. She is doing fine, she has the cutest personality you have ever seen!!! Unfortunately I think I have accepted the fact that there is NO WAY she is full Yorkie, but we love her anyway!!!

Thanks for thinking of us!!

Iam happy you kept her, I bet she is so cute:) cant wait for pics:)

RoxyJosMom 01-02-2008 02:33 PM

Whatever she is, she is adorable. The last pic of her facing the camera -- she looks like a tiny fawn:) . What a precious face!

red98vett 01-02-2008 02:39 PM

Those people should be reported for fraud - sorrry you got burned but you love her and that's what counts. Me - I'd be PISSED if I paid a yorkie pricetag but that's what happens when there are people out to scam us - I'm sorry they lied like that - but there is no way that sweetie is a purebreed

It sounds like she's in a good home with you & good luck with her - I bet she has a great personality !!!

My first thought was rat terrier mix. The face is just like my parents' dogs, My dad has a rat terrier mix my mom has a mini jack russell, her hair is very wirey.

She's adorable, but I'd report that breeder so others aren't scammed :( I'm so sorry that happened.

She's an adorable dog

I just read this whole thread and all that really matters is ...that your happy and she's is a great pet. :thumbup:

I think she looks like a doll. :D Your kids probabaly feel like the luckiest kids ever, and that's what counts;) :animal-pa

I'm looking forward to more pictures of that sweet girl.:2photo:

Take care,

Reading this, I am very happy that the original poster still loves the dog and plans to keep her. With that in mind, she was "taken" by a lier and con artist. That person needs to be held accountable for her actions.

For eight years I was a journalist in my city and here's what I would do (given my experience in covering stories about con artists).

#1: Firstly, see if you can get a copy of the original ad the woman posted claiming the puppy for sale was a Yorkshire Terrier. If she mentions that it is a "mixed breed" in the ad, you won't have as strong of a case. If the ad says "Yorkshire Terrier puppy" that is the first thing you'll need.

#2: Then get a written confirmation from a veterinarian or credible Yorkshire Terrier expert confirming that she is only a small portion Yorkshire Terrier. (This is blatantly obvious by her photographs, but you'll need written confirmation from a qualified expert.)

#3: Do some research online and at your local library about Yorkshire Terriers including details about their general features, typical size, weight, appearance etc. Create a package of information proving that this dog is not a Yorkshire Terrier.

#4: Phone or write a letter to the woman who sold you the dog telling her that you will be doing three things to expose her "scam" if she does not reimburse the money you paid for the dog. It doesn't matter if you paid her $2 or $2,000 for the dog, a scam is a scam.
ONE: Tell her you will go to the local media with your evidence to make people aware of her scam (which will be very embarrassing for her).
TWO: Tell her you'll be taking her to small claims court (even if you don't have the time and energy to do so). That threat usually gets people's attention.
THREE: Tell her you will report her to the Better Business Bureau and make sure all Yorkshire Terrier-related organizations in your area know about her scam.

Be open about the research and evidence you have gathered and give her a deadline to reimburse you. Tell her that you plan to keep the dog so as to prevent her from deceiving somebody else. Even if you don't want to do all these things, threatening to do so will at the very least make her stress level rise. The stress of wondering if these things may happen could prevent her from continuing her lies and deceit.

This is a prime example (although not the WORST, ie. severe health problems) that cause people to be so leery of breeders :(

I feel bad for those who are really doing all the right things.

She looks alot like my Ziggy. She finally has long hair, not on the face. she is 8 yrs old and I was happy not to have all the grooming to do. We now have Zoey and it is constant.See Ziggy in my avatar pic, the red head.If I can find some younger pic I will post them.
