| anyone out here that can answer my question? Hello; I am new to this forum and this is my first post. Was wondering if anyone out there has had any problems dealing with a yorkshire terrier breeder by the name of Kim Hinkle? She is located in Sacramento, Ca. Her website is myelegantpaws? This woman was sent $4000.00 by me for a male yorkie by the name of Prince. The dog was purchased for my youngest daughter Mallory for her 11th birthday as a birthday gift. My daughter has a disability and carried this dogs picture around with her for days showing him to everyone she met. Kim has had my money for 2 weeks now and I have attempted numerous times to get her to return the money WITHOUT success I might add. She insisted on sending me a female by the name of Lovely instead and was planning on charging me extra money for the female, I refused of course! There was no contract in place on this male pup. His original cost was $3500.00, and I sent an additional $500.00 with the verbal understanding that this extra $500.00 was to be a down payment on the female Lovely. I was to finish the purchase of Lovely in the spring of 2010. Does anyone know ANYTHING about this woman????????? |

| oh my goodness!!!!!! I am so sorry. I don't know anything at all about this breeder but it sounds like you are being taken advantage of. there are so many good ethical breeders on this board and even right here in Kentucky. You might want to post this in the breeder review forum and see if anyone knows anything. Hindsight is twenty twenty but you should NEVER buy a dog without some sort of contract. I'm afraid your money is gone. That's a lot of money!!!!! Too bad you didn't come to YT first. BTW, welcome to Y.T. Last edited by Sugar's Mom; 09-28-2009 at 05:06 PM. |

| That is so horrible. I have bought them over the internet without a contract, but I researched the breeder first. I hope she at leasts sends you one of the dogs. Does she have a website? How did you here of her? |

| Oh goodness that is horrible!!! Welcome to YT I wish you would of found us sooner, theres so many nice yorkies for sale on here for much more reasonable prices. I really do hope you get your money back or at least a dog, but 4,000 sounds outrageous to me for a regular yorkie? |

Yeah, I'm really shaking n my boots To the original poster. I'm so very sorry this happened to you. I wish I had some sound advice to give you. Hopefully another poster will. It absolutley breaks my heart to think of your little girl having her heart broken Perhaps if this does not work out, you could consider a rescue dog. I know that's not what you had your heart set on, but sometimes these things work out the way they are supposed to. good luck to you. | |

| To the OP, (original poster), I would contact the District Attorney's office in the county where she lives and tell them what is happening and ask for their suggestions on how to handle this. You should make copies of any emails, receipts, etc. as you may need them. I sure hope you can get this resolved and recover your money.

The 3 Musketeers Donating Member | Yes, check with the district attorney and make sure you tell him/her that this was for your disabled daughter.
