scammed by a FL breedes
 

I wanted to let you all know that there is a "breeder" in fl julie soutullo or mendez of yorkilious/dixiepups/poochie koochie she is "bait and switching" photos of dogs. I thought I was buying a yorkie from a photo. I recieved a mixed breed dog - i didn't "sign off" on it but she does have my money. After researching her - I have found a website stopdixiepups.com fighting against her. Also, several judgements against her, a report on the news and I found that her akc has been revoked for ten years! The lesson - do the research first. If any of you know of this woman please let me know:(

I am so sorry to hear this happened to you.
maybe you could copy this info from the site you found it and tell her you have all you need to tke her to court too,and she might give you your money back.

Welcome to the club.I did not think they were still selling puppies, but much to my surprise they once again came on the news about three weeks ago

The information to take this breeder to court will be one of many, she wont return the money.

welcome to YT...glad you found us although under such a bad experience...i hope they catch up to her! Karma works in mysterious ways...what goes around comes around and one day she will get what she deserve...good luck!

Don't worry about it hunny. Sounds like you got a great case against her! And, remember your not the only one. I am sure there a plenty more.

Welcome to YT! I am so sorry that you found us under there circumstances. What a hard lesson to have to learn from :(
So what happened with the puppy you received from her? Do you still have him and what do you think he is mixed with?

bad breeder
 

Sadly, I couldn't sign the airport paperwork to take home the puppy. The paper states that the merchandise is accurate and not damaged. Dogs are the same as a peice of furniture when shipped. I called animal control (because the puppy was so young he did not yet have teeth) and I called the police but they choose to send back the dog anyway. I just hope the puppy survived. There was no food and all I had was nutra-cal. I gave that to him.

Oh how sad! I can't believe that they did nothing for you or the puppy. What a nightmare that you have been through.:(
There are many breeders here that have excellent reputations. You should check out the breeders forum when you are ready to try again. :)

You need to report her to the revenue dept and the states attorney general. looks like they already shut her down once. its just a matter of time before she goes to jail!
Miami News, Fort Lauderdale News, Florida News & Weather Channel 7 Fox Miami WSVN-TV - Local News - Pet store owner accused of selling sick puppies

FL- I have to warn you. She has just registeres her NEW company name as YORKALIOUS - I believe the 2nd week in july - thanks for the news report. Why can't they arrest for fraud, if nothing else????

seriously it is on a much bigger level now. if you have given this woman money you need to file a complaint with the florida state attorney general office. you can do it online... its free!!
Florida Attorney General - Consumer Complaint Form
they may help you resolve this issue.

also since the dept of revenue which i am sure is fed and not state level is involved it wont be hard to build a case against her!

How did you pay her? Was it paypal or a wire transfer or someting else?

Please know, I am not sitting on this situation at all. Frankly, I have been on the internet and the phone for the last two days. I would rather not discuss (yet) exactly who and what is involved. I just can't believe all of the information that is out there about her - yet, I didn't look for it or see it and she is still dealing in live animals- miami!! what are you thinking

I did a wire transfer. God I'm embarrassed

scammed by fl
 

omg this is horrible i kinda feel the same way but i did get a yorkie but she has an overbite and can't be breed.I paid 700.00 dollars for this dog and have yet to get papers for her.I was told she was ckc but,know way to show this and now i learn ckc isn't a very good breed she should have been akc???This makes me so sad .LaPorte,Indiana

They are still in business, they are in Aventura, I don't recall their new name, but came out on the news, because their store was broken into and puppies were stolen.

All I have to say is that I'm offended by that comment.

Anyways, I'm so sorry that this happened to you, I'm sure there's probably things like this that go on in Canada but I've yet to hear about it. I hope she gets put away for life and soon, those poor puppies.

who told you CKC is not a good breed...for one thing it is not a breed but a Club just as AKC is a Club....mine are both CKC and are great examples of thier breed....dont worry about them being CKC

angelwings aploizes for post yesterday
 

I wish 2 say i'm sorry my post wasn't intended 2 offend anyone and certainly not our canadian friends.I feel so bad now i hope you will forgive me as i didn't realize what ckc ment.I do now.I'm just learning about the little yorkies and I wasn't sure what ckc was now i do. Plz. forgive me for saying what i did:(i hope maybe we can be friends and we can learn together.Sorry:(

maybe??
 

Maybe you meant CKC as in conteninal kennel club? and not the Canadian kennel club?? they are 2 different clubs. Canadian one is good --the other not so good, they will let you register a dog as pure breed just with photos. not a good idea in my opinion. I stated breeding with CKC ( conteninal, not candian) before I found out the truth about them, now I breed only AKC.

florida scam
 

Yes i believe that's what it is as it's the U.S.A but it was taken wrong so i did offend some people and was banned from posting new threads.I feel so bad but,i can't change what i said.I'm still learning what's going on here.:(

again...false information...sorry but you guys are not portraying CKC in the light it shoudl be....as i stated before both my dogs are CKC registered and they had to be proven.....my breeder went through alot to get them registered because their parents were registered with different Clubs....please oh please state facts when you post

Hey Cindy, hate to break it to you girl, but I contacted CKC about Bentley and his future off spring ( in case the IBC didn't go through) and all you have to do is send in a picture of your dog after it has reached 6 months of age and you can register it..The same thing with Mahli that I rescued with no papers, her new owners can mail in a pic of her along with a letter from someone as a witness that says that they believe that the dog is the breed they are claiming it to be and then CKC will register it for them.. That is why there are CKC maltipoos and cockapoos and morkies and shihtzupoos and all other cross breeds that are CKC registered, it is because they are not as strict and will register almost anything... That does not mean that all purebred dogs that are CKC registered are bad examples of the breed. Tammy for instance does not like AKC because of the high fees and they are really rude so she chooses CKC but that does not mean that their dogs are not good quality.. I do think though that some bad breeders use CKC because it is easy to scam people with that registry and sell them a dog that may not be from purebred parents.. Smokey is a beautiful well bred Yorkie and we know it...:D

well i guess i will be putting out the big bucks ....cause i will probably have Ally's pups triple registered then....

florida scam
 

I've said i'm sorry .I can't change what i said i just wish the breeder had been honest with me that's all i wanted.I'm sure allys puppys will be beautiful.Don't get me wrong i love her regardless she part of me now.She's on my site if you'd like 2 see her.She's spoiled rotten and will be forever ! Just didn't intend on offending anyone.She's special to me that's what counts.

They get away with it
 

So sorry to hear that you were treated that way. Don't be embarrased I certainly wasn't born with knowledge about buying a yorkie. I know pople say research. I checked the internet but since there is not a database to see all businesses we can get scammed. Nobody better say, the BBB, because I filed a complaint and nothing has been done. I checked with then before purchasing and there was no record of them.

All I know is that these scam artists who pose as breeders get away with these types of things all the time. I've seen the lady that scammed you on our local news channel. Then I read that she gets these puppies for soemthing ridiculous like $10 from Argentina (I might have the country wrong..don't shoot) and sells them for $1 to $2,000.

I've also seen one that is in Pembroke Pines Fl Wizard of Claws. They have also had many lawsuits against and even the goverment investigating them and they are still open and selling.

I myself was also scammed by Seaside Yorkies. I could take them to court which I may do but I will throw away thousands and all they will get is a judgement.

Crooks know how to scam. Unless it's the goverment they just change the name and owner's name and continue.

Oh that's awful for puppy and you :(

Geez, why can\'t some of these breeders just do what\'s right!? I don\'t know how they sleep at night. They should be so ashamed of themselves.

I\'m sorry this is happening.

So sorry for you.

I would contact the Attorney General.
