I did not want to say anything at first.. but she had two girls with her..they were in a crate outside.. it was NOT warm and they might have weighed a pounds.. she said mom was 3.5 and dad was 2 pounds and mom throws 4 each litter... I was questioning her and she did not like it.. told her it was too cold, my hubby said do not touch them with no parvo shots and being outside..like I did not know but it was nice he thought the same as me anyway..she said they were 7 or 8 weeks old.. and yes that is her name.. I said you breed a 3.5 pound female, and she says yes I do.. and I said and you sell them here at a yard sale with no shots.. and look how tiny they are.. and she said well there is a heating pad in it.. I bent over and the heat was NOT on the pad.. one was so curled up being cold.. geez I am so glad now I made this thread...
I was so upset..thanks for all the replies.. so many red flags it was unbelievable... anne

Anne,
You should add to the ripoff report that someone posted above. On the right hand side of the page, you can click a box that says, something like consumer and then there's a box that says rebuttal. Click the consumer one and write what you've written here to let people know what she's doing. You don't have to use your real name. You can if you want, but don't have to.

People like this need to be exposed.

Tammy

I've never heard of such a thing! A yard sale!?!?!?! Not only would I have been shocked, and felt bad for such tiny little babies to be treated that way, I would have called the local humane league and reported it. Surely there must be some local authority where you live to have reported it to. Even the local newspaper- they might have done a story about it to warn people about her unethical behavior.
That is so sad and so wrong.

Susan123 · 12-08-2008, 09:47 AM

That's so sad....Those poor puppies.

Stick around on this forum as obviously your in for quite a shock on what you will read...

I come down here in the winter so I am not aware of all the humane societies in the area.. I am not even sure how to go that far as I am from canada.. I am posting here as I thought this would help those in florida to know.. should they either know of her, or know of some one looking for a yorkie.. to let them know..I would not have even know what subdivision we were in.. ya know when yard saling we just drive.. and when it is time to come home we just look for the hwy back to zephyrhills where we live..and as from what I have known in most places.. if they have water and food.. nothing would be done anyway.. she was not even in her own home.. so she could have just left where she was and moved on.. if that makes sense to you... anne

As a friend and customer of shala chihuahuas ( I have 3 chihuahuas from shala) I invited her to my garage sale to get to know people in the community. I know owning your own business it can be difficult when relocating I though this would be a perfect way to ley people see her puppies in person. The puppies were in a bed with a blanket and heating pad and were happy and playing or napping throughout the morning.

The person who commented first I was present to meet at the sale and commented on how much larger her dogs were to shalas. Im thinking maybe she might have a little competition now and has nothing else to keep up with the competition so she must write slanderous comments online.

I'm sorry you didn't have a better welcome to our area shala!

As a friend and customer of Shala Chihuahuas ( I have 3 chihuahuas from shala) I invited her to my garage sale to get to know people in the community and for people to have a chance to see her cuties in person. I know having your own business it can be dificult to relocate especially in this economy.

The puppies were in a bed with a blanket and heating pad and were either playing or napping all morning. We live in FL so the weather was not so cold since I didn't even have a coat.

The woman who commented first on this website I was present to meet also. She commented on how much larger her puppies were to shalas (She is a breeder also). Maybe this is why she has to write slanderous comments online, she can't keep up with the competition.

I'm sorry you didn't have a better welcome shala. I am embarrassed that my community cannot be more supportive to other small business owners.

Do you people have nothing better to do than post slanderous things about a complete stranger on the internet? You don't have a clue what you are talking about!

Do you ever go outside with your dog or pup? My God you are abusive too then aren't you!!!

This person had just moved to the area and wasn't moving around as someone said. If she was trying to hide anything than why did she give you her card. If you felt so sorry for the poor pup (which I might say were warm and healthy and fed and watered and happy) than why were you saying how cute they were and how you wish you hadn't just bought one from someone else. Why don't you find a different hobby.

Yes, I do know of her, she is a very reputabl breeder of gorgeus, healthy well socialized pups. I would do business with her any day!!!
