Thank you for your input. I'm glad I didn't buy from here. Too many shady things going on.

Just wondering though. I am from Pomona, CA. Does anyone know of a reputable breeder. I have contacted a few and they either do not have dogs or haven't contacted me back. I'm 24 and looking for a puppy of my own and hoping to spend no more than $1000, $1200 at most if from a really well known breeder. I really bond well with my dogs and I'd hate to spend less and have it get sick but I'm definitely looking for a price break of possible.

Thanks again!

I don't think that people are saying negative things here to slander her but I was pressured into putting a deposit on a Boston and later told that it was a non-refundable and that I had 2 days to make a decision. I think that anyone who truly loves dogs would never pressure anyone. She was also very unprofessional - first she changed the appointment from 11am to noon after we had already left (we live about an hour plus way). She told me her friend had shown up to take her to church and that she had forgotten. At 12:30pm she had not shown up so we called...she said she would be there in 15 minutes. Another buyer arrived and we all waited until she showed up at 1:30p...ironically - no friend was driving her as she pulled in by herself.

She basically peer pressured me into putting a deposit for a dog I was uncertain i even wanted (I need to fly often with the dog so she has to be UNDER 15 lbs). Since there was another buyer that really wanted the dog..she convinced me to put a deposit down and to think about it. I saw the dogs mom but not the dad and I was a little surprised how big the mom was. Nikki told me these pups were very very small for their age and that I would never find small bostons like this again! I foolishly put down a deposit. Immediately when i left I realized i made a mistake. I called to cancel and was not only told it was non-refundable but that i had 2 days to make a purchase or loose the deposit!! I was so upset. This was supposed to be a happy day and instead now i'm out $300 and don't have a pup. Long and short is she has not returned calls or emails. I'm going to fight this out with my credit card company but my recommendation is that she's all sales. Anyone who genuinely loves dogs would never pressure such an important decision. Furthermore, other breeders i met later warned me that other folks had complaints and felt they too had been duped.

I have a question. I have noticed when someone new comes here and posts about a breeder, suddenly there are more new people that have never posted before that know the same breeder :confused:
I'm just wondering how you all came to the same site at the same time, having experiences with the same breeder?

O.K. so I have read all of these posts regarding "Nikki from Arcadia". It seems really funny that I have a very similair story. The only difference is that my "person" was not called "Nikki". Could this all be a coincidence or is this the same person using different names? I sure would like to know what Nikki looks like.

And I desperately need to get hold of her. My 6 years old Yorkie was LOST this weekend....and she is my LAST resort to get the microchip number on Buddy. I moved 2 times and cannot find my purchase contract. I need to get the microchip number in order to try to locate Buddy (even tho I never registered it....) it is still a viable lead if anyoone try to register his chip.

Please reply! Thank you so much!
