Well I can even start to tell you how many of us there are.. a little over 33 to be exact.. so I have been told. The story is the same with everyone she did the same thing. She would send the same picture to everyone and say that was their puppy. And when it came close to shipment you heard every excuse in the book.. she was sick, her husband was sick, the dogs were sick. I bought 2 dogs from her about 6 months and I am still trying to get my money back. The best luck is with Linda Davis with the att gen office in miss. So far she has no assets, her cars are rented. So everyone that she has sold dogs to don't live any where near her. They are trying to decide if they want to go criminaly or allow her make a payment plan. So yes there is a list. Still seeing that there are so many more or us in november it was 12 there are still more, I know. It is sick.. Amy

lickthestar · 02-17-2005, 07:44 PM

Out of curiosity, what is the complaint? Is it that she is not refunding the money or is it that she's running a puppy mill? Like I posted before, she has a contract on her website. It's agregious, but it's a contract nonetheless...did no one who bought puppies from this woman read it?

amy hori · 02-17-2005, 07:52 PM

Well the thing is she has changed that contract since everyone started to complain. She was going to send two dogs 5 days before christmas. Stoped returning my emails all that she would say is that they were sick and couldn't ship. And then the flights got cancled and so forth, but when I asked for my refund I was I never got an answer. That is why I got futher action taken.

This is where I got my puppy and I can assure everyone the puppies are well taken care of. I can understand how upset everyone is and I'm not exactly sure what happened in every's case. I guess I am one of the fortunate ones.

This is my story....I was looking for a breeder in my area so that I wouldn't have to have a puppy flown to me. I feel that flying a puppy stresses it out considerably. I also wanted to see the home my puppy was raised in and the parents. I looked on the internet for breeders within driving distance from me. I found tinydarlings. The puppies were reasonably priced and by the testimonies it appeared that she had many satisfied customers. I gave her a deposit via Paypal and then I gave her the remainer of the money once I picked up my puppy.

I was reluctant to write this post because I don't want to get in the middle of anything, but I want everyone to know that her dogs ARE healthy, well taken care of and they are living in her home. She has food readily available for them. She also told me to leave food out for my puppy. I don't...I feed him 3 times a day. I want everyone to know that It's NOT a puppy mill. I swear. I'm not sure how all this happened and I'm not defending her actions because I'm not sure of all the circumstances. I just know my OWN story and I know how her dogs/puppies are being cared for and treated. My puppy is in tip top health. Thank God. That's all I really wanted to convey in this post, that the dogs are not abused and are being fed.

I hope everything works out for everyone involved.

Here is a good place to look for local breeders to all those looking for a new puppy:
http://breeders.net/find.php?show=1

Is it possible that she had you meet her at someone else's home? It's just a thought that I had. If she is indeed running a puppy mill, the last thing she would do is invite a buyer into her home. If all of the previous post are true, which I feel they are, then what she is doing would make her a thief at best. I would think anyone who is making a living out of scamming people has most likely found away to cover up her shady operation. I say all of that to say that maybe you only saw what she wanted you to see. It also sounds to me like she could be a "puppy broker" where she buys pups cheeper and sells for a profit. I do know that this type of activity is becoming a very common practice.
I do truly hope the best for all of you who are going through this.

BBTRINNA · 02-17-2005, 08:56 PM

I got an email from Tinydarlings and she found all the complaints that I had posted about her. She wasn't very happy. I simply told her that she brought this upon herself. If things turned out differently, then of course, there would be no reason for me to warn everyone. I am not the only person she has done this to. I've found soooooo many websites complaining about her. I know that the district attorney's office is "working" on getting everyone's money back. It's just going to take time.

I'm glad to her that Ringo didn't have to go through what I (and so many others) had to go through. I think the main reason why you got yours was because you were not "out of state" like most of us.

Carters Mom · 02-17-2005, 09:29 PM

Looks like you've gotten her attention! I'd keep the pressure on -- even turn up the heat a bit!

Have you seen this site? Stumbled across it and "Tinydarlings" caught my eye!! http://www.terrificpets.com/forum/14621_3.asp

aimee · 02-24-2005, 08:09 AM

Very interesting - she defended herself until the questions got to harsh, imo.

natalie · 02-24-2005, 09:42 AM

I'm sitting here at work reading all these complaints about her and reading complaints on other websites. I totally agree, she is such a horrible person. Really, how could she wake up and face herself in the mirror knowing that she took money from innocent people, taking advantage of the fact that they put trust in her from different states, and like BBTRINNA, taking money from people who want to buy their daughters, sons, etc. puppies. So horrible. I really think we need to just bombard her with e-mails of disgust.

schatzie · 02-24-2005, 10:38 AM

WOW!

I am sitting back reading over the posts in that web site also, my goodness. I do hope Jan learns how to go down that road called "ethics, morals, and honesty" before she hurts a lot of people and pets.

I got my Bouncer from Dianne Bradley. She used to live here in town (Chattanooga, TN), but recently moved to Palm Coast, Florida. She does have a website (http://www.yorkiepark.com). She raises her yorkies in her home just like her own children and doesn't overbreed. I'm actually getting my female yorkie from her later on in this summer. Her phone number is on the website, as well as her e-mail address. I am not sure if she ships puppies or not. I believe she does as I know out-of-town people have gotten dogs from her. You might check though. Her yorkies are great though. Great look, color, temperment. Just adorable! I highly recommend getting in touch with her. Hope that helps!

YorkieLover9 · 02-25-2005, 04:11 PM

I guess I was one of the lucky ones, I did receive my two yorkies from Jan at Tinydarlings. I was afraid I wouldn't for a while as I had some of the same problems, but I received them. Healthy and well socialized. However, I've had them for 5 weeks today and still waiting on their papers.

StewiesMom · 02-25-2005, 04:58 PM

Sorry, I am not taking to time to read the all the posts before I respond, but I wanted to say that you can say WHATEVER you want about her. It is only slander or defamation of character if it is NOT true. To put my thoughts bluntly, this sucks. Definitely contact the national BBB and the local branches of the BBB in your state and her state (if they're different). My next step would be to present the supporting material, like receipts for the puppies, airline confirmations for the one your received and anything else, such as correspondance with her that may be helpful.

amy hori · 02-25-2005, 09:47 PM

Jan is so funny. On every web site she always tries to defend herself until the water gets too hot and she bails out. The thing is she wil never understand what she is doing is wrong. There obviously has to be something wrong if there are 33 other people and that is just since december? I bet she spend all the money in Mexico..

haha. It is really sad, but all I can try and do is laugh about it now. that is the reason why she has to set up a payment plan that will take FOREVER IF we get our money back.

natalie · 02-26-2005, 07:17 PM

Wow, you guys. Just to let you guys know, JAN RESPONDED TODAY!

She seems pretty upset but she deserve what's comin' to her! And I hope it's coming and coming hard. I hate people like that. She says she DOES use the money sent to her for puppies on "vet fees" but I'm sure she sells her dogs for hundreds, maybe even thousands.. since when did those puppies have to be so sick as to have hundreds or thousans on VET BILLS? I THINK NOT. I hope she goes to hell, sorry for language. But her response made me angry. What kind of person is she? GOSH!
