Seaside Yorkies
 

Is anyone familiar with Seaside Yorkies in Miami? Feedback would be appreciated. Thanks, Lizzie-

My oldest came from Seaside Yorkies. She is a very healthy, active and smart girl. She will be 2 in November. The only thing I can say about them is do not go by their prices. She charges more for smaller pups, but sometimes the small ones grow BIG and the BIG ones stay small!!! We paid $900 for Esme and she is now 10lbs. I am not picky about size, I would have loved her if she stayed tiny, or if she grew to be 20lbs. She was 1.8lbs when we brought her home at 12 weeks. We live in Miami so we picked our pup up. They have LOTS of dogs, some are for breeding, and some for pets. The dogs run their home. Only the puppies are kept in large crates, the rest of their animals RUN FREE. ;) I couldn't describe it, you'd have to see it for yourself. Please let me know if you need anything. There is actually a pic of Esme on their website. It's of her bday party last year.

Thanks everyone. This is so helpful. Lizzie-

WATCH OUT! Bad reputation with dogs they sell!!
 

I bought my first yorkie female from them. Paid $1700 because she was..what they called a "teacup"! RED FLAG! DIDN'T KNOW THEN! She was born with a congenital malformation and had to be put down at only a year and 2 months.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

David Davidow.(owner) asked for her records, they were provided. He stalled and finally said she would be replaced.

THEY HAVE NEVER REPLACED OR GIVEN US OUR MONEY BACK.

His excuses for not doing so have been:
1..HER VET CAUSED HER PROBLEM

2..CAN'T REPLACE THE PUPPIES ON THE WEBSITE ARE MY DAUGHTER'S (NATALIE'S).

3..I (David Davidow) am not the owner anymore, they are my daughters business.

4...I CALLED THE CELL PHONE LISTED..I AM NOT LIVING IN MIAMI ANYMORE..I AM CAROLINA AND THERE IS NOT AN AIRPORT NEAR ME.
(A friend had contacted him that day about buying a yorkie and she was driving to his Miami house...he told her how to get to his Miami home.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I have read other stories from other YT members that have been sold puppies that have had ears cut, sick puppies, and have paid extra for a certain size and have been given another puppy altogether!!

NOTICE THEY ONLY LIST A CELL PHONE - NO HOME PHOME

IT SEEMS THEY ARE PUPPY BROKERS (probably buy from a puppy mill)..THEY ALWAYS HAVE PUPPIES FOR SALE, I'VE NEVER SEEN PARENTS ON PREMISES OR ON WEBSITE.:(


:tongue4::tongue4::tongue4::tongue4:

Do a search on here...Type in Seaside....and see what comes up.

I just tried to go to their website and it looks like they took it down girl finally!!!!!

:thumbup: I can't believe they were closed down!? They scammed me and I reported them to The Squeaky Wheel. I had several people write to me telling me their sad stories.

One lady wrote me and told me that before they were called Seaside Yorkies they had another name. She was able to get them to have to change it.

Maybe this is what happened now. I doubt these con-artists are not going to continue as yorkie brokers. :mad:

They're baaaack
 

:eek:My husband tried to log on today to their webside and they're back in business:mad:. I don't know who they have in their pocket but nothing can take them down:thumbdown

You can't get rid of cockroaches! I just people research them ahead of time and don't buy from them.

However, I am glad because now I can send the complaint to the FL DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE / Animal Division.:p

You go girl
 

Let me know what happens;)

You bet I will. I was about to throw away all the COPIES that I was going to send to the Dept. of Agriculture and then you posted.

You are an angel sent from heaven.

:thumbs up

awww thx :rolleyes:

i live in west palm beach. i got my Puppy from Wellinton pup. she has not had and major problems. no liver , knee etc. they use local breeders only. No Pup mills. I too have heard bad things about seaside. My step son girlfriend got a pup in ft lauderdale and paid alot more for her and she had to have the knee surgery $2000.00 for it. Lucky for izzy they got her and not someone esle. She couldn't wait for wellington pup to get one from my sophies Breeder. i think she told the breeder she got Izzy from. But i'm sure they knew there pups could have the problem as they have been breeding along time. the best thing to do is to go to AKC website and look for a breeder. there are so any breeder who just don't care or know what they are doing. I wish i had know a little more when i got sophie. I got lucky. She is a great dog.

You are so right! I wish I and many others who got sick yorkies at Seaside Yorkies would have known better.

I too have bought my other two yorkies from Tsa-La-Gi. They have both been healthy.

I just posted on the Squeaky Wheel my problem with Seaside Yorkies and also am having them investigated. (TheSqueakyWheel.com - we get refunds! Post your consumer complaints here.) On the website on look for complaint type Seaside Yorkies!

This was Nikki the yorkie I bought from Seaside Yorkies. The first pic is of her a s a baby. The second one show how skinny and sickly she looked just before she died.


Miss you Nikki, sorry you had to suffer so much. Love you Mommy :(

Do not buy from a PET STORE! Try to find a breeder! Pet Stores sell "puppy mill" dogs and that is why they have no idea about size! PLEASE PLEASE do your homework!

Very good advice, however there are brokers that pass for being a breeder :eek:. You have to really research. I thought Seaside Yorkies got their puppies from a breeder. And a "breeder" is a good thing. For all I know they are backyard breeders or puppy mill brokers.

BROKERS in my opinion, are the LOWEST! They are the ones that truly keep the Puppy Mills in business by finding them places to sell their dogs to!

If you haven't gone to the house and have seen the dogs including the parents! FORGET IT!

I just got a female Yorkie from Seaside Yorkies Miami
 

I am so worried after all these posts I read after getting my 12 week old female yorkie from Seaside Yorkies in Miami the other day! SHE SEEMS fine, healthy. Was scratching a LOT, so I switched her cheap food "pedigree" they had her on to Nutramax. I met with "Billy Jean" who said she was David Davidlow's wife. I also met David. He was a little rude. He microchipped the pup right in front of me and was callous about her being in pain.;/. He did not seem like a compassionate person, my take on it is he seems to me he does it for the money. Billy Jean was polite and we talked a while, but she could have been lying. I asked to see the "sire" or father of the yorkies. She told me the father was a "Stud" they use and its' not there. Then showed me the mother, but I don't know if it was really her. Now I am worried. I weighed this pup when I got home she is almost 5 lbs at 12 weeks. Billy Jean told me she was 2.5 lbs. BIG difference! Also David said he "Misplaced" The CKC papers and will reorder them for me will have them in 10 day or so!? THAT was unprofessional. Not sure if he scammed me on that part, but I've herd that one before. This pup is cute and has good coloring. Just looks like she is going to be big when full grown!
My two old yorkie is having trouble getting along with her. He's hiding, withdrawing, etc. Hopefully that gets better!

Who knows.

Hello everyone , I just got my very first puppy and its from seaside yorkie ! since this was my first puppy I wanted to meet him
her in person and was looking for months to find a breeder in miami beach and came across their website. Upon search , I found few very bitter reviews about them so was very skeptical at first. So i called them to see if I can get to met the puppy I was interested in and his parent if possible.The owner's name is Joel ( elderly guy ) and his super awesome wife Billy Jean invited me to their home and I was very glad that I listened to my gut feelings and gave it a shot. They were by far the most coolest and compassionate people I met , they not only helped me through the whole process of getting him but went to the extend of keeping him for a week to switch the food I plan on feeding him. Jasper ( my new puppy ) is 3 months old now I got him checked with my own vet of choice to get a 2nd opinion on his health condition and to verify all claimed shoots given and he is a perfectly healthy fellow !! I was so glad that I went by there and saw how they live , breath and just love all their pups , they were all kept inside their home in a cozy setup, I guess good enough for puppies. They were pretty old school and proud people, don't know or seem to care much what goes on the internet much as most of their business is referral.I am very happy with my boy Jasper and also feel lucky to know such good people . They very much kept in touch with me and asked me to call them anytime doesn't matter what time if I ever had any concern , now how many business does that ? over all I had a great experience and would definitely recommend them. If you are in Miami , just go there yourself and meet them in person, you will know what I was talking about. But must worn you Joel at first appears to be a grumpy a bit arrogant man just once you spend few minutes with him he gets his guards down . The man just takes lots of pride in his work and have a very dry sense of humor like the New Yorker :)) but he is from the south :)
Was never big on writing reviews , actually this is my first online post ever so hope this information helps !

I am a bit confused. If they don't care about the Internet and get their customers via referrals why the website?
Also, no reputable breeder of any sort will ever sell via a third party such as a pet store or broker.
We do not even sell each others dogs as reputable breeders. If someone contacts me looking for a Yorkie and I don't have anything I give them some names of breeders I do know and would not hesitate to recommend.
Exactly what reputable breeder would trust someone else to sell one of their puppies? Besides none!

Thank you for sharing your experience with seaside yorkie. I also met Joel and his wife this weekend and they are beautiful people. I Placed a hold on a beautiful female yorkie . I played with the 3 yorkies and saw the mommy. They have been breeding for 20 years and they will be giving me all the health records when i pick up the puppy. I will take her also to my vet make sure she is healthy. I am also a little nervous since my older yorkie passed away last year from liver failure she was 11 years.. I pray that my new puppy comes healthy. I will keep you all posted. Please anyone that can share more let me know. Thanks
