Reviews and Complaints

Worst experience I have ever had trying to buy anything period. We had a appointment to pick up our puppy we put a deposit on, within 24 hours of that time this lady calls me and says one of the other puppy's she has in the kennel had a " blood sugar drop" and when I was skeptical she told me I knew nothing about dogs and refused to give us the puppy and made it nearly impossible to pick up the puppy the next two weeks so I just asked for my money back and she refused even though she wouldn't let us get the puppy. So now I'm out 440 dollars. Don't waste your time on her, go rescue instead!

I purchased my puppy two months ago. According to the listing on the Alabama Toys and Teacups website, the female puppy was a Morkie whose dam was a Maltese who weighed 5 pounds and sire was a Yorkie who weighed 3.5 pounds and that this puppy would weigh 3.5 to 5 pounds when full grown. I was not allowed to see the puppy or her parents prior to the day I picked her up. This appeared to be a legitimate breeder who raises these puppies with love in her home. I was taken aback when I received no registration papers or vet records when I picked her up at the "storefront". I had already paid her $800 plus $88 for "handling fee?". The next day I took my puppy to my veterinarian for a check up and she weighed 3 pounds, eight ounces. He estimated her adult weight to be 16-18 pounds and said she had been misrepresented by the "breeder". She is now 4 1/2 months old and weighs 8 pounds. She has thin wiry hair and long legs. She looks nothing like a Morkie. These puppies are bought from puppy mills and resold by Merry Melton Daniels at Alabama Toys and Teacups under false pretenses. I would never knowingly support a puppy mill! Please understand, I love my puppy very much but I would never have paid $888 for a puppy of unknown lineage.

I thought I was purchasing a yorkie! But after I got the puppy home it started resembling their chorkie's they have advertised/sold. I called to inquire as to why and was given some silliness about the dogs snout being short and long and told that I should have did my "own research" on the types of dogs noses whe I fact I did and have friends and neighbors with yorkies which is one of the reason I wanted to purchase one for my daughters christmas gift. I'm a soldier in the is army and this christmas was bittersweet due to the fact I was deployed to iraq for 2 christmas's and my daughter is just 5 yrs old and my mother had a severe stroke this year right before christmas. The seller, merry told me they couldn't take the dog back unless I bring him back from virginian where I reside back to alabama, pay for it myself along with bringing an exam showing the puppy is healthy! I wished I had done a more thorough research as. Merry stated I should have, but with a fine tooth comb to come across the many complaints and negative reviews that i've found this far. I'd never have invested my money nor my time in this type of unprofessionalism, it's very unacceptable to take people hard earned money especially around the holidays. I am going to file a complaint with the bbb as well. This is totally unacceptable and needs to cease immediately. They are offering a in store credit but I do not want anything further from this place except my money back that i've earned protecting and serving my country! Shame on you!

Bought a puppy from Alabama and I just have the puppy 1 week. The Doctors said he never saw mange in a puppy so young. The puppy is now costing me a small fortune because the vet found that Lilly has Sarcoptic Mange a contagious parisite that can be spread to humans, problem with her hind legs (she can't stand up) and the parasite Coccidia. She is not a healty puppy. I understand that young puppies may have parisites which can be treated but the mange/scabbies is transferrable to humans and very hard to get rid of. I am now spending money for vet care so my family doesn't get sick hoping that this works. I have infant grand children that this can be spread to. I am very unhappy about this. Do not buy from these people I lost $900 and it is costing me more wit vet bills
