Here's a copy of the e-mail that I just sent AKC

I need to file a complaint against a breeder who has not given me the AKC puppy papers. I'm already in the process of filing a civil law suit in her county. What steps do I need to take so that you can start your investigation of her and her records? Thanks, Kim Ellisor

suzysmitt · 08-20-2005, 01:31 PM

I'm so sorry she's doing this to you. There's no reason she shouldn't have had the papers when she gave it to you. I use to breed pit bulls, and as soon as they were born we'd send for the papers, so we'd always be able to give them to the people when we released the pups.

This is awful. I'm by no means a breeder. Mollie's puppies are 3 1/2 weeks old. I already have their papers and have had them for over a week. It's not a hassle at all to get this done. Just pure laziness.

Good Luck. Keep us posted.

YorkieRose · 08-20-2005, 02:18 PM

I would definately contact AKC and file a complaint. This breeder is committing fraud I would think and perhaps AKC can send her a letter. Good Luck

txshopper73 · 08-20-2005, 02:43 PM

Thanks, Pat. Hopefully AKC will start an investigation with her. There's nothing that I can do about the papers since I didn't get the parent's registration number...was told by AKC in an e-mail. The only thing left is to file a complaint.

I don't know if she's home yet since I figured she'd call by now. But then again, she might not even care and is calling my bluff.

as a breeder i try to have papers all on time but sometimes it takes a while when my dads plane went down in alaska i had a litter on the ground of toy aussies and i couldnt handle much more mom having a stroke and dad missing so i guess i was lucky my good friend countrygirl steped up and sold most as pet quality np for most but the few who had been dying for this cross to improve there own line i was totaly honest with telling them i dont know when i will do the paper work but i will. 9months it took me to pick myself up and get paperwork figured out *mostly because while up in sitka looking for my dad and family who were in the plane my home was robed and trashed did i mention i was in escrow while this all happend rember to ask whats going on breeders are humans too. also you can call akc if you know dob and mom and dads reg name and number and see whats going on tell akc ! they will investigate

that was a horrible time for you and VERY understandable. with this breeder, however, went on a trip to alaska and canada and did not call me when she got back. i had to do the calling. i'm pretty sure that she went out of town again to visit her boyfriend who works off shore. i had contacted AKC already last week. i don't know his exact b-day or the parent's registration number which is what they requested. i did the calculations going by his shot records and they said that there were not litters born from this litter in april...which is a little strange since according to his shot records, this is when he should have been born.

I hope it all works out for you did the breeder sign her contract that you have a copy of you may also want to print a copy of her contract off her websight if that is possible before you go to cort i also would take in quotes of what a non papered yorkies cost some judges have no clue

Missy's Mommy · 08-20-2005, 07:27 PM

I understand your frustration, I went through a simluar thing with Max, and I was very upset too!!

If you call the AKC, tell them the breeders name and the date of the litter they will tell you if the litter was even registered and if so when. I am not sure if they are obligated to tell you but if you ask nicely they probably will

It might help to know if the litter was even registered, or if it was registered late or not at all.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Please don't try to make me out to be an ogre. Of course a breeder can go on vacation but if there is a sale that is left unfinished at least she could have called and let me know. I've been given the run around since I got him. If you would have read the entire thread, you would see that lately, she hasn't called me at all. I've had to do all of the calling and when she's said that she would call, she doesn't. I was promised the papers yesterday and once again, she didn't hold her end of the deal up. I did not purchase him on-line. As a breeder myself, I would NEVER put a buyer through this!!!

iheartyorkies · 08-21-2005, 11:59 AM

Kimberley, I hope you can get this resolved ASAP! I'd be upset too. When a person can't even return a phone call you begin to wonder if there are other things you should know. Integrity goes a long way...fulfilling promises, staying in communication, following up on loose ends. This person needs a lesson in trustworthy business practices. Sometimes the only way to teach them is to take them to court.

don't worry about it. I do it too, sometimes.

Well, along with this site, I've posted this same thread on 3 others. I just want people to know who this person is and to avoid her like the plague!
