West Salem, WisconsinGayla Striplin is probably the most dishonest breeder out there right now. Trust me I know from experience!! I purchased an adult male from her for $2250, who she claimed to be champion sired and and lied about his size. Not only was he not ch. sired, he had no absolutely NO champion background at all.
When I contacted her to let her know that I received his pedigree from AKC and that there were no champions she produced some fake, doctored up documents that were NOT in any way official. (I think it was something she made on her computer)
Finally I asked her for either a full refund in exchange for the dog back or for a partial refund. She refused of course. So I threatened to take her to court, to which she responded 'don't waste your time, you don't have a case'. I had all the emails where she claimed his daddy was a champion and my reciepts so I did have a case.
I then contacted the clerk of courts in Maryville, MO...looking for some direction. Not surprisingly they knew all about her shady business practices, the woman actually said (before I could get it out) 'let me guess, Gayla Striplin!!!' Next I contacted the Anderson Sundell Law Firm in her hometown, who also knew all about her. Their exact words were 'let's take her down'. The attorney informed me that he was also contacted by a woman in Washington state who was ripped off!
Unfortunately I don't have the time or money to fly down to Missouri to get justice, but I can smear her name a little...that's free!! Please do not put yourself through the headache or heartache, there are honest breeders out there! Oh I forgot to mention she had her phone # changed 3 times while I was dealing with her!! That spells SHADY to me! Her husband also has a criminal record for assult and stalking!! Yikes!

Always Buy Within Driving Distance
I love my Yorkies. But we have always bought from breeders in my family. We (or they) insist on meeting, meeting the puppies and meeting the parents. This ensures you're getting what you want. No breeder can guarantee that the pup will not get common illnesses, or not get dormant genetic traits from the parents. But usually, they look and act like their parents. If you cannot meet the sire and dam, and cannot meet the puppy, you probably shouldn't get 'em, especially with the kind of money we're talking, here. Any breeder who won't let you meet the pups and parents is suspect. I'd even suggest sending a desposit to a breeder after making an appointment (we did) and letting the little pup pick you out. Ours adjusted to us no problem when we got him home- he had been very curious about us from the start and he loves to sleep in my shoes. Besides, shipping would be tough on a tiny puppy like a Yorkie and they are susceptible to a number of pathogens, etc, not to mention stress being alone in the cargo area of an airplane, that the breeder has no control over. Do yourself, your local breeders, and your new puppy a favor and buy local. It is much less messy and you'll save everyone a hassle.
Your report is misguided and misleading!
I have purchased 4 Yorkies from Gayla and her husband and have found each experience delightful and enjoyable. When my wife and I decided to purchase these darling babies we did a great deal of research and spoke to them at least a dozen times before buying. Each time there wasn't any pressure, they gave us a lot of information even though there wasn't any assurances for them that we were going to buy from them, and most importantly, they provided ALL the information we asked for. We have verified all our pups papers without any issues and even found them to be better than advertised when we bought our little Rocko! My mother in law has even purchased a dog from her, as has my wife's boss. We recommend her to everyone!
I truly believe her comment of selling a puppy due to 'floppy ears' wasn't meant as a bad thing towards the dog, but as merely a justification to a buyer for not keeping her in her kennels. When we bought our girl Sasha, we asked why she would sell such a beautiful puppy and her reply was because her snout was a little too long for what she was looking for. We didn't take that as she thought the pup was ugly, but as it wasn't something she was looking for in her line. Maybe it was her way of easing the sorrow for letting her go. We have been to her kennels and they are clean, organized and more importantly, her treatment and care for all her dogs was tremendous! It was those visits that convinced us to get puppies from her.
As for her husband being a criminal...that is preposterous! We have met him on each occasion of picking up our dogs and there is no way he could be what this person has posted. Out of curiosity, my wife searched for info on both of them to see if there was any fact to it and she has found absolutely nothing of the sort. I believe this to be a bitter person who for some unexplained reason felt they had to try and discredit another person. My wife and I personally recommend Gayla and her Kennels to anyone looking for a beautiful and loving Yorkie to buy.
Be very careful as the report you are refering to was challenged by the Attorney General of Missouri and found to be libel against the person who posted it. We did do our homework and this is the only thing we found that we questioned. Fortunately my wife works in a government office here in TN and contacted someone in the AG office about it and they said the person was in St Lousi and was actually found to be a puppy mill that was under investigation. Of course when we visited Gayla's kennels we asked and she showed us a huge file and letter from the AG office supporting her and denouncing the lady there. Did you see if there was a rebuttal or response from Gayla? If I remember right, there was one and it explained what happened.
As for you being 'pd', do you love your dog? If so then move on. There is too much hate in the world and you continuing this is just adding to the ugliness and not helping you or your family. As for posting the link, you will want to check with the MO Attorney General that totally contradicted her story. I don't know what ever became of it but that was the outcome according to that office.
