TRUE EVENTS
A woman emailed me Summer 2008 asking if I would sell her my highest price puppy for %50 less then I was asking. I emailed her that I had less expensive puppies for her. I wondered why she would choose my best and ask for %50 less.
She replied that she already bought a very expensive puppy from a different breeder in Summer 2007, paying $4000.
She said the puppy had arrived sick and cost her another $2000 so total cost $6000.She said when she tried to contact the breeder, she found the website and all contact information online was gone.
(The scamming breeder is without doubt still online with a new name and new website,
to sell a dozen more fake teacup Chihuahua puppies , then to vanish again and re-appear under a new website, etc..)
The woman had this to say about the puppy she purchased from the scammer:
"My Chihuahua is triple the size promised by the breeder,
has a crooked jaw, long nose and is quite ugly"
Although the woman made these comments , one could tell her loyalty and love for her dog..
The woman's email address looked familiar so I did an email search and found that she had emailed me fall 2007, the same time period that she bought frtom the scammer! Here is the email the woman had sent to me fall 2007:
Date: 9/20/2007 10:45:22 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time
Do you have any itsy bitsy female puppies?
I really want one that will be 2 lbs or under as an adult.
The woman requested that I promise her that Sherbert would be exactly 2 lbs as an adult and not go 3 lbs.
I refused to promise.
The woman was not happy that I refused to promise an exact adult size on Sherbert so she left me.... and went onher way looking for a breeder that would guarantee her an adult size.
Why did she not adopt Sherbert from me for $3000 ?
She paid 4,000 to another "breeder" that turned out to be a scammer.
When I asked her why , the woman had this to say:
"The Breeder had a professional looking website and she made many promises."
HOW ACCURATE WAS I IN ESTIMATING THE ADULT WEIGHT OF SHERBERT?
.
Sherbert was sold to a family in Ohio .They flew in to pick her up .
They called me late 2008 to update me on her.
Sherbert is full grown and weighs under 3 lbs
She is pictured with her owner below.

When a "breeder" tells you everything you want to hear -RED FLAG!!!
