| Beware of Yorkiecouture.com Stay away from Yorkiecouture.com! Do not purchase a dog from this website. Owner’s name is Dante Carbajal. I purchased a dog from her and sent over $2,500.00 for what was described as a healthy and pedigree puppy. Pedigree papers were promised over 10 months ago and after several calls, Dante Carbajal has refused to send them. Also, puppy was very sick when purchased and seller did not tell me. Dante Carbajal is not a reputable breeder with a genuine love for Yorkies; she is simply trying to make a quick buck by selling third party dogs. She is a “middle man” who makes claims about these puppies, yet she has never met/seen the parents! She is a total fraud!!!!! |

| gtcartel... I wish you had known better. That website is terrible and pulls suckers in. It could really happen to anyone I suppose, but it's a shame overall. I hope you're baby is happy and healthy now. He should be happy that he found a home w/ a fellow YT'er! |

| Wow sounds like you have had a very bad experience here. I would certainly check out any breeder through their vet and references from other who have bought from them. I guess we learn by our mistakes. |

| Those puppies look really young! So sorry you has such a bad experience. Hope your baby is well and happy. How old is she now? How much does she weigh and is she healthy now? Have you contact AKC or whatever registry she claim to have registered the puppy with and registered a complaint? If you should look into it.

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | Honestly you will be better off trying to get at her by complaining to the BBB and maybe small claims court. Several years back I had some serious issues with a Shih Tzu puppy that I bought from a breeder. I contacted the AKC and they didn't do a thing. The told me that they only monitor breeding lines for confirmation etc...not deal with health issues and so on..I was really peeved with their response. They did nothing and this lady was on their list of breeders...so go figure. I hope your baby gets better and I am sorry that you are going thru this. I was there several years ago and it was no fun. Did you purchase the pup via cash or credit card? I had paid by credit card and it gave me some leeway in fighting her. Good luck. It's great that you are putting this out here on such a powerful resource...it can help some poor unsuspecting person getting ready to buy.

| Welcome... So sorry to hear your story. I do hope you have a guarantee in writing or a contract. If so that can help you get some of your money back in court. Your dog is very expensive here in California and without papers. People like that make us breeders look bad. I have contracts with my puppies, health guarantee with vaccination records and they do not leave my house without their AKC registration papers in the new owners hands. I hope your dog is better also. Good luck

| Live and learn, I guess. I thought she stopped selling puppies. But now I see that has more on her website. I want to help other people from falling for her scam. This has been a total nightmare! Thanks for the support. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | She is a broker. Not good at all. Thanks for sharing - that's the easy way to make a quick buck that's for sure....and I'm sorry you had such a terrible experience ...I've heard other things about that particular broker and none of it good. |

| I am so sorry for your troubles. There is no such thing as a good broker, they are the middleman that makes a profit buying cheap puppies. The last time I looked at that particular website I believe she was importing puppies from another country to sell here at an enormous profit. As I recall she had a pretty good sales pitch in saying that these brazilian puppies were better bred than the american yorkies.For those that do not know better and have no idea that there are mills in Brazil too it worked pretty well. I hope your puppy recovers from all of those issues and goes on to lead a healthy life.. |
