There were many delays when it came to shipping, BUT tha was no fault of the breeder at all! It was the darn heat. After a week and a half of looking for better weather, we finally found another airline that doesn't have the stops that the previous one had. WE finally recieved our beautiful baby. Unlike the description that was on their website that the puppy will come groomed and clean, she was matted pretty badly and quickly needed a bath.Also, she was listed at 17oz and when the vet check her on our second day of ownership she was 12oz! She was much smaller than the ad that was on Teacup Yorkie Puppies for Sale Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale Tiny Teacup Yorkies Breeder of Tea Cup Yorkie Puppy Puppies and Yorkshire Terrier Dogs For Sale California Breeders Yorkie Angel .com ! We also noticed that she had quite a cough and sneeze! At that visit she was diagnosed as having Kennel Cough, Giardia, and Upper Respritory infection!!!! We woke up the third day to find our baby covered in her own feces and convulsing. We immediately took her to the Vet's emergency room! After 2hrs+ their our normal vet opened and she was transfered their. At 10am she was pronounced dead and a necropsy was ordered. The death was caused by Hepatic Lipidosis which is liver failure that was cuased over a period of time. With all of the other infections that the poor pup had, she never had a chance the vet said. We called the breeder (Teacup Yorkie Puppies for Sale Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale Tiny Teacup Yorkies Breeder of Tea Cup Yorkie Puppy Puppies and Yorkshire Terrier Dogs For Sale California Breeders Yorkie Angel .com) and she was flaberghasted and sound very sad! You couldn't imagine the sadness on my end! She said that she needed to talk to her husband. (THIS IS WHERE IT GETS BAD). After many phone converations with no cooperation from the breeder, the breeder WILL NOT OFFER ANY TYPE OF COMPENSATION. So as it stands now, we are seeking the legal path. I will warn all prospective customers of Teacup Yorkie Puppies for Sale Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale Tiny Teacup Yorkies Breeder of Tea Cup Yorkie Puppy Puppies and Yorkshire Terrier Dogs For Sale California Breeders Yorkie Angel .com to be VERY WARY OF THIS BREEDER!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
I live 20 miles away from these people in Dixon California.
My husband and I paid 1500 for a small yorkie. We took her home she was sick and lethartic form the begginning. The breeder stated that the puppy was just in shock and need to rest from being handled thru out the day. To make a long story short, a couple days later we took her to vet from 1-6pm. The vet stated she was barely alive so we took her to emergency hospital overnite as the vet closed at 6pm. From there we took her at 8am back to the vet as the hospital closes from 8am to 6pm. She was at the Vet from 8am to 5pm during which she passed away.
Meanwhile, it ended up costing us 1500.00 for the puppy and another 1250.00 in vet and hospital bills. I have documentation from my local vet that she was sick to begin with from the day we brought her home. One of the doctors at the vet also works for the county SPCA and advised me of the multiple problems with this breeders. The county has been trying to close them down but this breeder always sidesteps the legal process with their legal wording in the contract that we signed which protects them for only their best interests. This breeder has false info on their web site as I have documented inconsistencies with whelping dates that do not match the website(which is date stamped at the very bottom) and the actual shot records and whelping date on papers we received.
After several phone calls to the breeders from my husband, myself and our vet, the breeders keep passing the phone back and forth to each other to continually pass the buck and avoid any type of resolution in this matter. They are unwilling to offer any type of compensation. we are out almost $3000.00 not to mention the stress of this situation. Worst of all is that these bad bad people are breeding sick puppies, taking them from their mommies to early as they are sick and undeveloped puppies. The breeding environment is most likely in violation of county codes. Numerous problems with this breeder already. So with the collective support of those who have been ripped off and burned like ourselves, my goal is to not just get a refund but an effort to shut down this inhumane breeding environment that is causing pain and suffering to these poor animals.
I have local support from vet, and several of his staff who are involved and have contacts in AKC, county SPCA and other local organizations.
If you are interested in this collective effort or just want to compare any potential resolutions, suggestions or ideas in this manner. send me an email susanshere@sbcglobal.net
