FAQ
Why do you breed?
I breed to improve the Yorkshire Terrier breed. Historical breeds like the Yorkshire Terrier are under attack and in danger of being lost due to the desire of "Designer" or mixed breeds. These include your Morkie (Maltese/Yorkie), Yorkie-Poo (Yorkie/Poodle), Puggle, (Pug/Beagle), Corgskey (Corgie/Huskey) and more. Some of these mixed breeds have had such popularity that they have become recognized as their own breed like the Labradoodle (Labrador Retriever/Poodle). So, my goal is to persevere this breed.
Okay, but so many dogs are in shelters or homeless.
Would you be surprised to learn that if every available dog in shelters and rescues were adopted today there would still be a shortage of dogs? Well, that is actually true. The problem we see in shelters is not just an overpopulation issue. This is actually a multi-faceted issue which includes dogs that are indiscriminately breed, owners who feel pets are disposable and pets that are lost, relinquished due to needed vet care or change in owner situation . More than 80% of dogs in shelters and recuses today are owner surrendered because they simply no longer want the animal.
How do I know my breeder isn't a scam?
Even I have been scammed and I know the signs to look for. Puppy scammers are getting more inventive and bold and you need to do all you can to protect yourself. Here are some signs to look out for.
1. Most scammers will wait for you to tell them where you are located and ONLY after you tell them your city or state will they give you a location.
2. Scammers ask for a deposit using PayPal Friends and Family (PPFF), Venmo or other apps that do not provide you, the buyer, any protections. These apps allow the scammer to take your money and you have no recourse to get it back. Please note some legitimate breeders use PPFF too, but I personally no longer trust it.
3. Scammers will send pictures or video, but almost never do a live face to face video. (I have seen a scammer try to sell their own personal puppy with a live video.) Again, you pay via Paypal Friends and Family or similar app and you never get your pup.
4. A scammer will want a deposit first. They will not wait for you to see the pup in person or in a live face to face video before you make a deposit. They will tell you they won't hold the pup for you and that there are so many people waiting for it in order to make you feel the urgency to place a deposit immediately so you won't lose the pup.
5. They usually don't know the name associated with the PayPal account and/or the account is an international PayPal account. My scammer was from the USA, but they could not tell me the name on the account and didn't recognize the name. They even tried a second account they claimed was owned by their sister where they also did not know that name. Secondly, the account was in Cameroon.
6. Facebook accounts have very little history and profile pictures and are new accounts. They are usually very new members joining yorkie groups.
7. If it feels high pressure or the price is too good to be true, it is.
