well first you will hear from many on here that "teacups" don't exist. They are just small dogs that breeders call teacups in order to charge you more money.. many will argue that a reputable breeder will not even use the term.. and i agree. these pups are usually very tiny as adults and come with many health issues and are usually very fragile.
Second.. if a teacup is indeed what you intend to buy i would not ship that dog in cargo. I would be surprised if such a small and young pup would survive- emotionally at least. If you insist on buying such a small dog PLEASE go pick it up. They have hypoglycemic issues that will not be able to be monitored in cargo on a plane. i hope you think about all of this and get a healthy puppy... which is really what we all want

Sounds to good to be true. Be careful

love_me_cody · 03-11-2008, 06:16 PM

SCAMMMMMM..... Why would someone from a different country give you a free yorkie when they can give it to someone down the block. And they don't call you at the airport unless you don't show up. You are suppose to already be there.

PM me or some of the breeders selling in the sale/wanted section and I/they can maybe send you in a direction if you want.

patty58 · 03-11-2008, 06:20 PM

It doesn't sound like the real deal to me. Please be careful. Oh and welcome to yt

missj2007 · 03-11-2008, 06:35 PM

Stay away from this person they are truly running a scam like others have told you contact a breeder from off of here, good luck in finding your new furbaby

bullydad · 03-11-2008, 06:35 PM

Ask them to send a recent photo with you name displayed on a card next to the puppies. Ask them if you can use puppy escrow to pay for the puppies. This a service.. where you pay --into escrow ( It's a company). IF they do offer escrow--- get all the info and phone numbers and call to verify that this company does is for real... before sending any funds.
They hold your funds until u get your puppies. If they do not respond in a good fashion !!! THEN RUN !!!!!!!! BE CAREFUL !!! NOTHING IS FREE IN LIFE.

Run! This is not a way to buy a baby!

Contact someone endorsed by the AKC and consider a 'normal' sized Yorkie to avoid costly expenses and illnesses.

Welcome to YT! Listen to these guys. They really know what they are talking about

TimmyAbel · 03-11-2008, 08:39 PM

I had my teacup flown to me. The were very careful with him. I did have a breader that was giving her dogs away for free and all I had to do was pay for the shipping. However, I did have connections with the person through a friend so I knew it wasn't a scam. However, I dont think flying it such a bad thing.

Shadow · 03-11-2008, 08:48 PM

This is a scam that has been going on for so long,I'm surprised everyone doesn't know about it,run fast!

i live in Mass. and bout my teacup from a breeder in Missourri. My bff bought 2 teacups from her, and i absolutely loved them, so i went through the same lady. Email me if you want her info and website...they are a bit pricey (1000-1500) but worth it. Mine flew in, and was fine. He was 5 months when i got him though, so he was able to bare the LONG flight.

brittahnee · 03-12-2008, 09:23 AM

free puppies are not always a scam.
i do not breed my shelties,
but when accidents happen -- we give our puppies away to good homes.
shetland sheepdogs sell for about $400,
but rather than worrying about money,
we just like to know our puppies are in good hands and being loved.

now,
yorkies are much more expensive than shelties,
so just use caution..thats the best advice i have. sorry.
these guys sound like they know what they are talking about though.
