Reporting A Bad Breeder / Seller... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Ines3185lyorkie · 08-28-2007, 06:09 PM

NEED YOUR HELP!!!!!!! A breeder/seller sold me a yorkie little girl with a life threatening birth defect. After numerous treatments for infections and surgeries I had no choice but to put her to sleep this past August 23, 07. I have asked for my money back instead of a replacement puppy since this breeder has a bad reputation from what I have read in this message board and others. I have reported them to the Better Business Bureau, I have an attorney that I might use if forced. This matter could be resolved by returning the money I paid for her $1700.00. This money will be used to purchase a yorkie from a reputable breeder. This money is not including medical treatments, medicines and surgery. I also plan to contact the US Department of Agriculture, since they gave me a health certificate that my puppy was free of genetic and birth defects. I want suggestions as to other agencies or officials that I might report this breeder to, please let me know. I really appreciate it. In Memory of little yorkie girl, "NIKKI".

They are located in Miami, Florida and their name is Seaside Yorkies. Check out their website www.SeasideYorkies.com.

Please stay away and any suggestions on reporting them is appreciated.

I don't know what to tell you, but I am so sorry for your loss.

I checked out the web site, and - wow. They SOUND so reputable! Makes me wonder if you can trust any breeder!

I know it wont bring your baby back, but maybe you could take her to small claims court or judge Judy or something, then you wont have to pay for a lawyer, and maybe even get some of your vet bills reimbursed also.

yorkiesmiles · 08-28-2007, 06:54 PM

Oh, honey I am so sorry for your loss & for all you have been through! I pray you get a healthy puppy to love & care for.

Be vigilant at reporting a breeder who is dishonest. There was a girl on here at the beginning of the month with a similar story about a puppy she got from a bad breeder in Texas. I am pasting in the link she had about her experience, because she documented all the steps she was taking against this breeder on this thread.

I hope if you read this you can have some more ideas of where to turn to & stop a bad breeder.

I know what you mean about they seem ok. I was taken in by their pictures and health guarantee. Their advice on how to care for your puppy. If you want to see about other past clients here in Yorkie Talk - type--Seaside Yorkies in the search and you will find other horror stories about them with other clients. Unfortunately I did not know about them till after my little girl passed away.

PS. that is the picture of my little baby that passed last Thursday. "NIKKI"

littlewhip · 08-29-2007, 04:48 AM

Iam so sorry for the loss of your pup, I sure hope something can be done, this is terrible, You deserve your money back

Superstarkba · 08-29-2007, 04:51 AM

I am soo sorry that you are having to go through this, its a shame! I think AKC has a list of breeders that you should not use, correct me if I am wrong!

YorkieRose · 08-29-2007, 04:52 AM

Florida has some very strict dog laws to protect the buyer, so check them out. Also, many counties restrict the number of dogs allowed in a residental area and one breeder told me there is a stiff fine if you have a breeding business in your home.

jp4m2 · 08-29-2007, 05:03 AM

I thought that site sounded familiar their was a thread on that breeder here,

I'm not sure if this will give any info that might be useful

I'm so sorry this happened to you, the laws really need to be changed regarding the welfare of our pets and how their bred....Good luck....

Yorkiekids · 08-29-2007, 06:22 AM

If she was AKC registered report it to them too.

Ines3185lyorkie · 08-29-2007, 11:15 AM

I looked into the Florida Agricultural Animal Laws and plan to take action against them if my money is not returned. Yes, that is the breeder/ seller I had the problem with. I've told them that I want a refund so that I can purchase another puppy, I do not trust them.

My family and I can not go through the pain of losing our little baby. She weighed 3 1\2 lbs at the time of her death. Literally you could see and feel her skeleton. She was the sweetest dog, even when she was going everyday for 2 weeks to the doctor for aerosol and an occasional shot she would get excited about going out.

My 13 year old son says to me, "Mom she was here for a reason, she taught us not to give up". I have been told by breeders that she should have died with that condition and that their vet should have picked it up.

IN MEMORY OF OUR LITTLE NIKKI

WE WILL MISS HER

Yorkieluv · 08-29-2007, 12:41 PM

I am soooo sorry about your loss...You're doing the best thing you can by warning other potential buyers. What was wrong with her? Poor little girl...Rest in Peace...

Hotdog · 08-29-2007, 12:55 PM

I have have been ripped off of by Liz .This breeder Liz James of 203 Foxy Lane Anacoco La 71403 www.petsonsale.com/members/rusty203 has stolen my money. I was to be getting a 4 month old Yorkshire female pup of the named Fairly Dust.Then she changed the name to Moon Beam Girl and said she was 8-9 months old. I paid for shipping to Kalamazoo Michigan it was in all the e-mails and on the papers I sent with the money orders I sent her for the pup, then she said she would not send her to Kalamazoo because she would have to drive to far to a difference airport. She ask if I wanted my money back and I said yes. Then she said she spent my money paying for other dogs she bought from Germany. I just received an e-mail from a lady that has bought Moon bean Girl from Liz and she turned out to be 1 yr old and has health problems and she did not get the dogs papers and Liz called her Bubbles so this dog has been called 3 or 4 difference names by Liz. What she is doing is called Bate & switch. She is just pumping out puppies she has them on puppyfind.com
Please help stop people like this. Does anyone have any idea's ??
