I have purchased 4 Yorkies from Gayla and her husband and have found each experience delightful and enjoyable. When my wife and I decided to purchase these darling babies we did a great deal of research and spoke to them at least a dozen times before buying. Each time there wasn't any pressure, they gave us a lot of information even though there wasn't any assurances for them that we were going to buy from them, and most importantly, they provided ALL the information we asked for. We have verified all our pups papers without any issues and even found them to be better than advertised when we bought our little Rocko! My mother in law has even purchased a dog from her, as has my wife's boss. We recommend her to everyone!
I truly believe her comment of selling a puppy due to "floppy ears" wasn't meant as a bad thing towards the dog, but as merely a justification to a buyer for not keeping her in her kennels. When we bought our girl Sasha, we asked why she would sell such a beautiful puppy and her reply was because her snout was a little too long for what she was looking for. We didn't take that as she thought the pup was ugly, but as it wasn't something she was looking for in her line. Maybe it was her way of easing the sorrow for letting her go. We have been to her kennels and they are clean, organized and more importantly, her treatment and care for all her dogs was tremendous! It was those visits that convinced us to get puppies from her.
As for her husband being a criminal...that is preposterous! We have met him on each occasion of picking up our dogs and there is no way he could be what this person has posted. Out of curiosity, my wife searched for info on both of them to see if there was any fact to it and she has found absolutely nothing of the sort. I believe this to be a bitter person who for some unexplained reason felt they had to try and discredit another person. My wife and I personally recommend Gayla and her Kennels to anyone looking for a beautiful and loving Yorkie to buy.

You actually had a good exerience with purchasing a yorkie from Gayla Striplin?! Wow, good for you...as for anyone else who is considering purchasing a yorkie from her, make sure you do your homework. There are a ton of bad reports on her from other "suckers" who were ripped off by this cruel, money hungry breeder. Here's a link to one I just dug up, it only took about 2 seconds for me to find a "rip off" report against her on the world wide web!! By the way she changed her website, probably due to the fact that she destroyed her reputation. It was minivilleyorkies.com and is now pictureperfectyorkies.com BEWARE!! She is really good at changing her contact info!!

By the way here is one of her rip off reports, when I have more time I will post others on this thread...as you can see I am still VERY p'd for all the agony she has put my family through through!!
