| Beware of Baby Doll Yorkies Sacramento CA PLEASE PLEASE do not do business with this lady. I trusted her and neglected to look at my AKC paperwork before I left this ladies house. The dog I purchased came from Missouri (most likely puppy mill) and not from one of her dogs as she tried to convince me. I love my girl and will keep her but I spent quite a bit of money and was lied to. She brought out one of her dogs and tried to tell me that was the mother. I just read my paperwork AKC today and saw that the litter owner and breeder is some lady in MO. When I picked my dog up also she was sick with Giardia and Coccidia. I am not sure now what the prognosis is for the health of my pup, but i have learned a valuable lesson. Always ask to see both parents and their AKC paperwork. People can still take you for a ride, but is always good to check thoroughly. I would NOT have purchased my pup if I had known. She is a sweet girl but more than likely a puppy mill pup. Just be careful and steer clear of this lady Theresa Voqui-Baby Doll Yorkies Sacramento CA. |

| I'm sorry about your bad experience. Unfortunately, you aren't the only member who's been scammed by scumbags like this woman. I would call AKC and report the breeder, I'm not sure they could do anything but at least you would be proactive. Then I would contact the breeder and demand a refund of some of your money since you're keeping the puppy and threaten to sue her for fraud. Does California have laws protecting new dog owners? Even if nothing comes of it you would at least have her thinking something could happen! Good luck and don't despair, just love your little girl and like the rest of us you'll know better next time.

| Yes *please* get in touch with the AKC and ask them how you should proceed - did you sign a contract or anything? I'm glad you will love your baby - but anything you can do to help stop the "puppy mills" and "brokers" will be a mitzvah! (good deed) :-) |

| Baby Doll Yorkies I'm shaking as I type this. I too purchased a Yorkie from Theresa ON SATURDAY! I did my research and thought I had read everything regarding Babydoll Yorkies. I talked with her on the phone and ask many questions. I even drove to her home because I did not want her to ship my little girl. My little girl was Vet checked yesterday and is in perfect health, but I feel betrayed and taken advantaged of. I love this little girl and will keep her. I'm looking at my papers now and I have the same situation as the OP. She said she had bought my little girl & her sister from her friend to breed but she turned out too small. She brought me out a Yorkie she claimed to be her sister which was much larger. The name of the breeder is Kelly Touchet. Her address is whited out. Does anyone know where this breeder is from? She just whited out the New Owners Information and put my information it. She did not white out the date of transfer so it looks like I purchased this Yorkie directly from the breeder. I'm too trusting. I want to cry. Mary |

| Babydoll Yorkies I would like to ask the OP when she got her baby. Even though my baby was checked yesterday, I'm scared she may have been exposed to Giardia and Coccidia. Mary |

| i don't get how people knowingly deal dogs or sale dogs to people who are brokers! poor dogs! that site says "All our puppies are sold as loving pets, only. We do not sell for them for breeding stock. And we do not sell to puppy brokers or puppy mills, so please do not contact us."

| People like that just make me freakin Ill. I say go after her with all it takes to put her out of business. A good start is doing what you are doing is spreading the word. Take her to court, even if it is small claims court. Go today and talk to the clerk at small claims and she or he will guide you in the right direction. Please don't let this go. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | That SUCKS !! I know there may not be anything you can do - but it's worth a try - and if I were in your shoes - report them to anyone you can think of - it sounds like fraud to me - but I could be way off base with that statement. But that really BITES that they are lying. There is such a thing called "deceptive trade" though I don't know if it would cover puppies - it's worth checking into. The Attorney General is also a place you may want to report her too |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I just found this for you - it's a Rip off Report - but read it and you can do the same thing - these come up in searches - so THIS is something you CAN do to let others know what that lowlife is doing to people http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/ripoff162388.htm |

| I sold a puppy one time (about 1 year ago) that I couldn't find the registration papers for. I, not with any malace, used a set of papers from one of my other puppies that the new owners didn't want the papers on. I whited out the DOB and put in the other puppy's DOB. Whited out the registration numbers, put in the correct numbers. Tought all would be fine. Then I got a call AND a letter from the AKC saying that they needed copies of all the owners I had sold puppies to for the past 2 years, which littles, who were the dams and sires etc. They put all my sales of pupppies on hold for about 3 months. The time it took me to get them all the different things that they were requesting. So don't let anybody say that the AKC doesn't DO anything! They can shut you down in a heartbeat, if the situation proves to be one of someones concern. I'd contact the true breeder and see what they have to say. If they sold a puppy to a broker and then the broker sold it to you, the broker should have to prove somehow that he had the legal right to sell a puppy for the broker. I'd think anyway. Otherwise, the broker just bought the pups for nothing other than money. This broker isn't at all interested in the welfare of the pups, only the money!! I find it very disturbing that they are in CA. This bites big time! Suz
