DO NOT BUY THIS PUPPY FROM A STRANGER !!! $400 and no puppy is what you will get. Go to a Yorkie rescue or buy from a REPUTABLE breeder in the states. Next day delivery NOT. It could die in transit and then where are you dead pup and out 400 bucks Also, I don't think he can guarantee that it won't go over 4 lbs. I have seen Yorkies that weigh 8 lbs
Please check in the states and check Petfinder.com for some that are rescues or at least in the STATES.
Think about it, if you were 10 weeks old and weighed 1.3 lbs would you live through flying in the cargo hold of a plane with no heat? And if he loved his "baby girl" why would he risk flying her here at that age and weight??? Wake up and don't buy the pup.

NEVER buy a puppy that you can not see the mother and the father. This dog may be from a puppy mill and full of problems. Check in your area for a reputable breeder. Do not take the word of someone you have no clue if they are honest. Check references if they are honest they will give you a list. I would not get any animal that way.

Sounds very fishy...don't think anyone could even ship a dog from Africa for as little as $400.00 PLUS the cost of the dog!! That price sounds way too low! Don't think dogs can be shipped all the way from Africa in one day either! Don't answer his mail.Get a dog from a trustworthy breeder locally.

I wouldn't trust them. This could be a scam from a hustler or somthing. I would go to a pet store and get one that I know is not a scam. I am just saying if u do decide 2 get the puppy don't be surprised if there is no puppy.

THIS IS A SCAM. Google or yahoo search bulldog yorkie scam. These ppl always claim to be missionaries or priests in Africa.

this sounds like a scam! I would never buy a puppy without seeing him or her for real and meeting the owner and learning the background of the puppy...sorry, but I am sure there are other resources out there which are reliable and I am sure you will find a great pet . the best of luck to you!!!

Run!!
Run far away and as fast as you can!!
There has been an alarming amount of 'african' country vendors and buyers that are using good websites to swindle people.
If you are still interested in this puppy please, please, please get some kind of written guarantee before any money changes hands.
You can't even ship a dog that far for that kind of money. My gut feeling is they threw the 'christian' in there to get someone to let their guard down even more, thinking you can trust them.. I am guessing you will send the money and will never receive the dog.
Buy from here in the states.

That's definitely a scam. Notify Petfinder as well.

I wouldn't trust this guy. It's funny how he's trying to make himself sound good by saying he's on a Christian mission in Africa! Please go to your local animal shelter and save a dog's life!
