Dogs for sale via http://yorkiepuppiesworld.com or Golden Paradise Yorkies. We saw a Parti Yorki for $700 when they are normally priced closer to $1,500-$2,000. We inquired and received a response about how to receive the dog through shipping after providing payment.
The address provided of 4365 5th Street, Pittsburgh, PA does not exist in Allegheny County public property records. The photos in the testimonial tab of the website do not match the houses where 4365 5th Street is supposedly located.
The website is registration is protected via WhoisGuard.
In the initial response, "Cuthbert R." explained the process for shipping and delivering of a dog. The email lines were broken and it was not perfect English. We texted the number provided and asked to visit in person first, and he responded that we could visit. However, he also pushed payment first and shipping the dog.
They have supposedly been breeders for 10 years but only have 4 testimonials on their website.

I personally have not been scammed by these people, however I am in close contact with a breeder located in North Carolina who has the official testimonials listed on her page. It seems that the testimonials on yorkiepuppiesworld.com have been taken from the original site and changed to seem as if they are completely new testimonials. I have been scammed in the past over this breed of dog, so I caution you to look for the red flags on this website. The information does not seem to have been proof read, and the images they have used for the site are clearly taken from google and other websites.

Selling Yorkie puppies at very low prices. Very poor typing and communication skills. Also they do not answer the phone and there is not a voicemail set up for the business.
