I'm trying to get this cute Yorkie but I would have to western union the money to the seller and pick her up from the airport.

do not send any money to anyone !!!! This is a scam the police were talking about it all over the airwaves just the other day . they said that people were sending money and they would go to the airport and there would be nothing there and they were out their money . Or if they did get a puppy it was really really sick by the time it got ther and sometimes so sick it would have to be euthanized (put down).please find a reputable breeder near you where you can see the dog and it s parents.

I don't think it is a good idea..this cute Yorkie you like might have some health problems later or might contaminate disease while on travel...
I know breeder that delivers dog for the new owners or you might try to find someone near your area..
Dogs can easily get bacteria or disease while on travel or even getting exposed to people or animals around so most reputable breeders make sure their dogs will come to your house in healthy condition.
I looked mine online and found breeder near my location and they have lots of breeds..they will let you visit and decide before you get the dog...I tried to find the one that I could give love and shelter from the humane society but got no reply even now so I decided to look for a good breeder.
There's a chance of SCAM...as it took me months searching and visiting breeders house. also read some scam report .. even if you get the dog,,there is still a problem later, though I read some owners actually picked theirs from the airport..
Don't rush...read more online facts about this and when you are ready and willing to do that...be ready to accept some circumstances..
Most expensive that time when I was searching is Maltese breed.

I've heard this scam all over the internet. They pick Yorkie's because it's a popular breed right now. I'd find a breeder close to home or you'll be out some cash with no puppy to show for it.

Like Alicia said. There are many dogs that don't have a home out there and that need one. There are many in shelters and the pound and they are not treated well at all there. Please think of adopting pets instead of wasting your money on one that does have a home. That is right I said WASTING!!! Cause you are, there is no dog, they just want your money. If you want a dog that bad to put out money like that then go to the shelters or ASPCA or your local pound. Please there are other dogs and cats and other animals just waiting for you to come.

Any online breeder who was valid would use pay pal. I have never heard of a breeder who does buisness on line and request a western union. Sounds to me like you are getting ready for a scam on you. Yorkies suck anyway, little yelpin bastards. Get a HERMIT CRAB instead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

despite the rudeness of some others, they are in fact correct.
It's not a good idea. Find a reputable breeder, even if it means a few hours drive.

You are supporting backyard breeding and the massive pet overpopulation of the world.
6-8 MILLION dogs enter shelter doors each year. 25-30% of them are adopted, and the other 70-75% are EUTHANIZED.
Please ... think adoption first!!!

Are you slow? You have never met the parents of the dog nor have you met the seller. This dog could have health problems, temperament problems. I wish you tons of luck.

the person you are purchasing the dog from needs to set up a paypal account so it's secure and safe. make sure its' a reputable breeder before purchasing any dog. you dont want it to get sick and die especially when it's traveling.
