lucynfred--I apologize! I misread. Yes, this is an awful thing...just a few things that tipped me off about this woman from her website was the agregious contract that she gets from people, and the fact that she asked for a cashier's check or money order to be mailed to a PO Box. Few people who had a good "product" would request that, plus, it's a way for her to hide her money from the IRS. It's as good as cash. Also, there are other people who have websites dedicated to how awful this woman is (www.yorkiepup.com). She even goes on to talk about what to do if your "teeny tiny darling" acts drunk!! Argh! I'm so angry at her!! If she's got so many customers, how is she able to fill her orders so quickly unless she's overbreeding?!! Those poor little yorkies she's selling...I hope that this woman is put in jail because she's really sick. Please buy your yorkie from a reputable breeder, or adopt one from a shelter. I wouldn't buy from yorkiepup.com, either, only because any reputable, honest breeder would never sell "teacup" yorkies. Consider checking the AKC website on how to get in contact with reputable breeders in your location. I'll be honest, I got Archie from a pet place in NY, but I found out that they got him from Lake Country Pets. I wasn't sure what Lake Country Pets was, but I now know it's a broker. So I called and found info about the breeder, and that the breeder only breeds yorkies, only a few at a time, etc. I'm not sure if Archie came from a puppy mill...I hope not, but I have him now, and he's healthy and happy and the best ever. Even to save yourself from the craziness of trying to track down where your puppy actually came from, like I did, it's best to go straight to a good breeder...

I've only been around the yorkie internet world since a little bit before Christmas but had seen several warnings against this woman in other places. If she doesn't deliver, we is at least guilty of fraud and misrepresentation.

Best of luck to you!! I'm glad I stayed clear of her during my search for my new family member.

Her response to me today
 

You would not believe it. After my email to her she now says (which is total BS...again) that she had not forgotten about me BUT the puppies from the new litter is now sick!!! What a bunch of crap! I finally told her that I didn't want to do any more business with her and that I wanted my money back. I told her I wanted a money order sent out first thing on Monday. Hopefully, I will get my money back. I will check that website and post something there too.

Looking for new puppies now
 

Hi everyone.

Hopefully, when I do get my money back, I will be looking to purchase 2 more puppies. I have learned from this experience. If you have any recommendations on any specific breeder you know of, please let me know. Thank you!!

yorkiepup.com
 

I am so scared now! She had taken money from so many people!! I am so scared that I won't get mine! On the website, it has a detective's phone number and I will be calling him first thing Monday! Thank you soooo much everyone!!

BB Trinna........ if you get your money back from this woman, i would suggest looking for breeders in your area..... where you could actually go and inspect the premesis and the puppies BEFORE you commit to buying them...... Keep us posted on what happens, like i said if you decide to buy puppies from a breeder in your area we can help you with the many questions you should ask to make sure it is a reputable one :p good luck

Im sorry that happened. I wish you the best of luck, and I hope you take her down! ^-^ sorry, but anyone who would do that....in this kinda line, is terrible.

Yes, best of luck to you BBTRINNA, I'd say call the local authorities (in HER city), and the credit card company if you paid via credit card, or call the post office if you paid via other methods, as that is MAIL FRAUD as well to accept money and not deliver services/goods. Also contact a lawyer if they don't follow through with what they say. But at least you did get your Peanut! :)

the problem with tinydarlings is nothing new...people have been having problems with her for a very long time. There are some issues with yorkiepup as well. I just want to caution everyone when looking at a website that sell pups, you need to look for red flags. Both site are waving their red flags proudly.

horrible
 

I tooked at the website with the email complaints. This is horrible. How can this woman live with herself? Horrible, Horrible

BBtrina what state are you located in?

California.
 

I put a posting on this site to see if anyone has 2 puppies to sell (I can probably send 500 for each) but that's it. I'm crpssing my fingers that I get something back from that horrible lady! Thank you everyone for your support!!

Did you read this thread? http://yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1378

Your best bet is to just contact breeders in your area and ask them questions and find the best. When it comes to pets, even if you spend a little bit more, it's better to give healthy pets to others or else they might resent having to pay for vet costs (I read a Dear Abby about this a while ago, where someone gave a cat and the recipient later asked them to pay for the vet costs). If money is an issue, then adopting might be the way to go. Pets are living, breathing creatures who we are choosing to give a home, not only for our sake, but for theirs.

Wasn't going to mention it ... but ... yorkiepup ... when my Patrick was on the "Yorkie Quest" he found this site. Called the owner after we had viewed the babies and made arrangements to buy one! We have a BIG problem with shipping these precious babies and were assured that they were sent in the "cabin" and watched closely! OK ... we came to terms with this as we didn't have time to go and pick her up! We were soooo excited! We felt like we had done our "homework" after we were assured that this little one would not be placed in a "baggage hold" of a plane!! We were even given a flight number and arrival time for Lambert in St. Louis! The day before we were to wire the $2700 for our baby, my husband was so excited he called the airport to see exactly where we were to pick up our baby! They didn't have a clue what he was talking about!! He was assured that any unaccompanied animal was indeed placed in with baggage on the plane!! Patrick was furious and let the breeder know in no uncertain terms that we would NEVER allow that to happen to an animal and promptly cancelled!! We were both heartbroken ... I was so disappointed I couldn't even function for days! He had searched for so long and then finally thought we had found exactly what we were looking for! We just went "back to the drawing board" and began reading, studying and searching again! I am so thankful that we did, because that's when he found the vet that recommended Ava and after several months we finally held our precious little Toto in our arms!! And ... needless to say ... we have never let go!! Bottom line ... do your homework and then do it again! We are so blessed to have this healthy, happy little "furball"! The sad thing in all this is, there was probably someone else who didn't mind that sweet baby being in the "cargo hold" of a plane ... I just pray that it wasn't too traumatized and that it has a really good home ... at least we weren't the ones who subjected it to that!!!

look at his contract page at the bottom...he owns the name to all of those
he has listed. Just really think about buying off the net.
