Miniville Yorkies - Mike And Gayla Striplin
Misrepresentation dishonest did not receive what I paid for Buyers Beware False Advertisement ripoff

In September I came across an ad on a website for Miniville Yorkies. There was a tiny male Yorkie advertised on the site. The ad stated, "I have a couple of little boys left that will be around 3 pounds full grown. Tiny baby doll faces and each one is full of Champion bloodlines."

I contacted Miniville Yorkies and spoke with Gayla Striplin about the puppy she had for sale. She assured me he was full of champion lines, no health issues in that line and would be an excellent little dog for breeding, which is why I was purchasing the puppy.

I told her I could not pick up the puppy because of the distance between us and she said she could fly him to me. I asked if him being only 8 weeks old and so tiny if he was to young to fly and she said, oh no she does it all the time and has never had a problem. She sent me the sires pedigree but said she did not have the mothers, but would get it.

I sent Gayla Striplin $2350.00 for this puppy. Money sent I now learn she does not have the pup it belongs to a breeder in Texas and the mother has no pedigree of champions.

I go to the airport to pick the pup up. Airport personell come out and tell me to come with them that the pup is about dead. I took the pup out of the carrier, which I seen at that moment this was a large puppy, not the tiny puppy I purchased. They got me some sugar and water and I worked with the little guy while Personell talked with Striplin on the phone.

The puppy arrived with one sheet of newpaper to lie on. No food or water containers. No food taped on the carrier for the puppy. Striplin was told this was not the puppy I paid for, he had a large open fontenal, (a birth defect that my vet says is genetic and should not use a dog with this for breeding) and was almost dead.

Striplin said to put the pup back on the plane to Texas. Airport Personell told her that they could not do that, and if they could the little puppy would be dead before it got to Texas. I told her I had no choice but to try and save his life and her make arraingements for his return. This is not the puppy I paid for.

I got the puppy revived and took him home with me. I took pictures and sent to Striplin who admitted it was not the pup I purchased. Striplin resold him a week later. I asked that my money be returned. I did not get what I paid for. She would not return my money.

Striplin contacted me about a litter she had that would be ready in December, that I could have a pup from that litter. I still asked that my money be returned. Striplin sent a pedigree of the parents.

This is where Mike Striplin gets involved and says this puppy is out of their best stock. "Comes from an excellent pedigree". They will be coming to Arnold Missouri to visit his parents for Christmas and can meet us with him.

I still asked that my money be returned. I receive an e-mail from Gayla stating that I can either take this pup or nothing. I was forced to take this pup.

I met Mike Striplin with the pup. I looked at the AKC papers and asked why the pedigree Gayla had sent for the sire was a different name on the AKC papers, if this was the same sire. He said no the sire on the pedigree had been dead for some time and I would have to take it up with Gayla.

I took the pup to the vet. He found the pup to have only one testicle and advised the pup be returned, he could not be used for breeding.

My vet called Gayla and told her his findings. She told him that if the testicle did not come down by 6 months of age they would take the dog back.

I spoke with Mike Striplin the next day, who told me if my vet felt that the pup needed to be retuned now that he would take him back, to call him the next day and let him know what the vet suggested.

My vet said he told Gayla the pup needed to be retuned now. Well the Striplins would not answer my calls, I left messages, no calls were answered.

I finally made contact with Mike Striplin 8 months later. He told me I could have a operation done on the dog to have the testicle brought down and use him. I explained to Mike that that is not the type of breeder I am. This is a genetic problem. THis is not what I sent $2350.00 for.

What happened to the tiny, 3 pounds full grown, full of champion bloodlines puppy I sent $2350.00 for?

The Striplins were sent documentation from my vet stating the testicle will not come down and that this is a genetic problem. I asked that my money be returned.

Mike Striplin said if I want to go legal to go for it.

How is it legal for someone to advertise they have something for sale, take peoples money, and send whatever they want to of less value, not send what was paid for. My money should have been refunded if they did not have what I paid for.
