I appreciate all the advice and comments

In my opinion if god is putting these roads blocks in your way to getting one of this guys puppies that could also be a sign or god trying to keep your from heart break and the loss of lots of money.

Hi Graneet,


The guy is obviously unethical in many, many ways. If it were me, I'd continue to ensure that he was legally punished for what he did/is doing.


However, like the others, I wouldn't accept a puppy from this guy even if they do exist. You already have the headache of making him honor his agreement but it would be devastating if the way that he did that was to provide you with a sick puppy as a way to get you off his back. Then, you have to legally address that issue, as well as mentally address it, which all seems like a lot of hassle.


I know it's not nice to be scammed and I fully agree that he should be punished but I would not accept a puppy, a hamster or any live thing from this fraudster.

I totaly agree on getting the puppy issue. I do not believe he will ever offer one. I can tell him to keep it if he does. Mean time it stays on bbb for others to see. Thanks

Update he told the bbb he was not ignoring me his aol account was closed. Well never contacted him that way he knew it. I also noticed a new complaint aganst him. A lady paid for a yorky in full. Did not give her pictures avoided her. Said he lost a family member. Then was at his kids game then he almost had a stroke then his wife was divorcing him. Then gave her a bogus flight . She finally got her puppy dirty and it was three months old. A month and half from when she was suppose to get it. Had no shots no vet check up or papers. Still hasnt sent them either. Also said she was a bad customer . Sounds familiar you dare question what you have a right to and suddenly hes the victim. Sad

At least you reported him. When others research breeders they will now be able to get info on him. There are a few good breeders in Arkansas. Sadly, don't think he's one of them.

To be fair i do think at one time he was a good breeder. I feel he ment well with the free puppy contest. I think due to his marrital issues this last year . He has let his business go to pot. But ya know dont drag others threw the mess with you. Stop breeding and concentrate on whats important. Just wish he could see his fault in these issues.

You are a sweetie and being far too generous. This person is avoiding you like the plague and is not honoring his commitments. I doubt it is ever going to turn out but through absolutely no fault of your own.

No reputable breeder would do a puppy contest so no he was not a good breeder.

Thought i would post this was another customer who got a yorky during the time he said he had none

Did not get what I paid for
Complaint Rating:
I purchased a teacup Yorkie from Scott on May 21, 2014. Of course, his invoice required me to pay the entire amount due up front on paypal. I stupidly did so. Then, I couldn't get updates, pictures, or any information from him. On May 24, after my text requesting info, he told me that he would ship her to me on June 7. He told me his cousin had died in a motorcycle wreck the evening before, so I guess that was an excuse to not update me on the puppy. On May 30, I requested that he give me an update, as I had no info on her health, etc. since my initial purchase. He told me that they were out of town watching his kids play in a baseball tourney and wouldn't be back all weekend so he would send me info and pictures Monday night after work. I had to wonder, who is taking care of the puppies if they stay out of town all weekend??? I didn't hear from him so I texted him on Monday. He said that he was at work but would update me that week. On June 4 I texted again asking - his reply was that he got real sick with getting close to heat stroke. He couldn't get out of bed so no updates. On June 7 (the promised shipping date) I again texted him and told him I was getting worried with no updates, pictures, information, etc. He got mad and told me that "he really can't believe out of the customers I'm dealing with your the one giving me trouble. She's not ready to travel until this next weekend anyway. Do you want to wait or get the refund minus deposit?" I'm thinking "what deposit??!! Finally got a new picture and a single statement that she was "doing good" on June 9. On June 13, again after my initiation, I told him I was going shopping for her supplies and asked what type of food he had her on. He told me he would send me a shopping list that night. On June 17, I received the shopping list but no update. I again asked how she was doing. He didn't respond. I texted again the next day (June 18) and he just said he was looking at shipping her on Friday or Saturday (20 or 21st). I told him either day would be good. On Friday (June 20) he texted and said all the spots for shipping the live animals were taken and it would have to be Saturday or Sunday. He would check but it happened to be his birthday that day and his wife was leaving him - asking for a divorce. Finally got her flight for the 21st (now 15 days overdue and a full month after he had all my money for the puppy). He lied about when the puppy would be at the airport, so I ended up waiting at the airport for three hours and then he lied about why the flight was later than he stated. He claimed that the puppy must have missed the connection, when the airline told me there was no such flight arriving at the time he stated. Who was lying?? Then, worst of all, I paid for a registered puppy with shot/worming record, written health guarantee, etc. that is all promised on his website. I got nothing!!! I also texted him again in August asking for the paperwork that was promised. He said he would mail it to me. Yep, you guessed it - I'm still waiting and havent heard from him since. This man is a lier that claims to be a Christian, and then turns very ugly when you try to get updates on what you have purchased from him at a high price. I got my puppy, but she was dirty, not cared for, and I had to begin EVERYTHING with the vet, including worming that she should have had. Supposedly she was born on March 23, so she should have been 3 months old when I got her. With no health care. He is dispicable! Don't purchase from him!

From being on YorkieTalk and reading about bad breeder/brokers they seem to have a few things in common.


1) They like to use God as a way to gain trust and make people feel bad.


2) They always have an excuse (they got sick, family member died, etc.)


There are many, many others, but this is a new one: Selling pups online and "taking best offer". What is this, a garage sale! This breeder is bad news!
