Sharon Gray is a disgruntal puppy mill breeder. I met Sharon through breeding. I bred a champion sire Yorkie male to her female Yorkie which she got from me for a stud I she had given me. The female had two males and one female. I got pick of litter for the stud service. I was undesided on which I wanted when the female had them.

I wanted to wait to see how big they would get and Sharon wanted me to pick immediately but I told her that I would deside later once they got bigger. Well I desided to pick the female as I wanted her as a future breeder. Sharon got really mad at me saying I just picked the female just to be spiteful, because I knew she wanted the female.

For one thing, I think she forgot I got the pick of litter for the stud service. And I did not know she wanted the female. Well she said I can wait to get up dated pictures of the female until she is in my pocession. And then she blocked me from her cell and home phone so I couldn't get a hold of her.

When the puppies approached four weeks of age, Sharon called me and told me the female got tangled up in a baby blanket that was in a baby playpen and drowned in a bowl of water. I was just devastated when she told me. So she said that I can pick one of the males instead.

I told Sharon that when I come to get the puppy that I will be coming for the female. If she doesn't have the female yorkie I either want a vet report stating the female drowned in a bowl of water or I want to see the dead puppy. When I went to meet up with her  I told her that I will not meet her anywhere other than her house.

The day I was to meet up with her she unblocked me from her cell and text me to meet at a gas station out by her. Then she immediatly blocked me again so I could not text back. I asked my son to call her because I was at her home when she texted me.

When I got out of the vehicle I was very surprised at what I saw. She lives in a dumpy trailor and all kinds of dogs were barking inside as I was pounding on her door. She had to have at least twenty dogs in there. I then had my son once again call her for the female puppy. She said if I do not show up at the gas station she was leaving and I would not get my pick of litter.

I then met with her and she had only the two males. I said to her I wanted the female and she in return told me that the puppy drowned. I said I would like to see the vet receipt or the dead puppy. Needless to say she had neither. So then the next thing I knew she peeled off with both males and I had to chase her down.

I did pick one of the males. After I had to chase her down country roads reaching up to 100 miles an hour. Sharon Gray is nothing but a puppy mill breeder that is only in it for the money. Not the health of the puppies. She lives in a tiny trailor with all these dogs stacked up according to the neighbors. I did report her to AKC and the proper authorities out in Dixon, IL.

I could of pressed charges against her because I truly believe she killed the female or is keeping her for her self which she will not be able to get AKC registration papers on her as I reported to AKC the female of the litter had died because of Sharons neglagence. Once I found out that Sharon was a puppy mill breeder I cut all ties from her because I m not a puppy mill breeder.

I found out after all this that Sharon has been reported on ripoffreport.com before for selling sick puppies. This had happened about a year ago to me with her. The reason I am reporting this to ripoffreport.com now is because Sharon had her friend Lisa that lives in Michigan (whom also sells Shih Tzu puppies and Yorkie's) report to ripoffreport.com that I am posting pictures of puppies on my website that are not mine.

This is all untrue. All puppies posted on my website for sale or that are past puppies are puppies that I produced with both male and female I own or a litter that I studded which I have permission from the b***h owners to post them to help them place the puppies.

Michigan breeder if you are a true breeder that loves your pets you might want to cut ties with Sharon before she brings you down. Sharon always fights with other breeders because she is jealous that do good. So watch your back.

Sharon's Contract is a Joke

AUTHOR: Karen Pierce-Pierce's Precious Puppies - ()

POSTED: Tuesday, September 23, 2014

This contract is a joke. If I was a puppy buyer and read this contract it sure would scare me off. So many threats of different fines. This contract would make me run the other way. Makes no sence at all but makes me see that she is a money hungry breeder. Im including a picture of her Yorkie page showing that she had three Yorkies born then all of a sudden only two were born.

Another one of her puppies dies

AUTHOR: Karen Pierce-Pierce's Precious Puppies - ()

POSTED: Thursday, September 04, 2014

Sharon Gray contantly is loseing puppies. She had posted on her website three female Yorkies born 8/18/14. No pictures were posted yet. Then I look at her website again and she says two female were born and post pictures of the two. What happened to the third one Sharon? Did that one die on you too because of your negligence? Also she lies on who the parents are of the puppies. I had a lady purchase a Yorkie from me who had contacted Sharon. She contacted Sharon about a litter that was born back in February this year from the female that I was to get for my pick of litter. The lady asked her for pictures of the parents and she passes of another female Yorkie named Kimmie as the mother. Kimmie is not the mother to the February litter. She lies, she scams, she sells sick puppies. She's does breeding for the money. She has proven it over and over again. Just read all her complaints on here. She has complaints on other sites too. So buyer beware of this vindictive lying rip off con-artist.

Found to be in breech of contract

AUTHOR: Karen Pierce-Pierce's Precious Puppies - ()

POSTED: Sunday, August 31, 2014

Took Sharon Gray to court and the judge found Sharon Gray guilty of breech of contract. She was proven to have committed a theft of services against us. The judge awarded in our favor but this sick individual just got a slap on the hand. I will continue to try to shut this sick individual down.  If you are a breeder DO NOT STUD YOUR MALE SHIH TZU'S OR YORKIE MALES to this disgruntal breeder. You lied about the female pick of mine died for her own gain. She bred the female before her second birthday and has already bred the female again. She breeds her females every cycle. It's like an assembly line to her. She just keeps mass producing her females that is why her adult females die at such a young age. Breeders and puppy buyers BEWARE OF THIS PUPPY MILL BREEDER.

Sharon,

I don't know what the problem is. We get the pick of litter which we chose the female. If we decide to keep her it shouldn't matter to you. I explained before to you that Tessa is getting up in years so we decided to just keep the female. That shouldn't make you mad. We are not keeping her because you want her. So you shouldn't be mad about it. I will be there to pick the female up on 8/29/11. She will be 8wks old then.

Thanks,

Karen M Pierce

Here's the Proof Sharon Gray is a Scammer

AUTHOR: Karen Pierce-Pierce's Precious Puppies - ()

POSTED: Sunday, June 01, 2014

Here is the proof what a scammer this Sharon Gray truly is. She lied about a female Yorkie that drowned in a bowl of water for her own gain. She told me my pick of litter from a stud service which was the female got tangled in a baby blanket and drowned in a bowl of water. My husband and I did not believe her. So we kept in contact with AKC to see if she registered the female puppy. She must be pretty stupid if she thinks I was gone to let her get away with theft. This is a felony charge which once convicted she will no longer be able to breed. I contacted AKC and they told me she did indeed register the female this year from that litter I studded to her.

She is nothing but a scammer, con artist, puppy mill breeder, envious of other breeders, raises sick puppies, doesn't honor her own health guarantee for puppies she sells to her customers when the families are trying to return puppies with gentic defect, does not honor other breeeders stud contract. BUYER BEWARE OF THIS BREEDER IN DIXON, ILL. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND RUN THE OTHER WAY IF YOU SEE HER NAME OR TOWN ON A PUPPY SITE. ENJOY THESE EMAILS THAT TRANSPIRED BETWEEN SHARON AND I OVER THE FEMALE PICK. SHE DID NOT EMAIL ME THAT THE FEMALE DIED. SHE HAD CALLED ME OVER THE PHONE THINKING I WOULDN'T HAVE A PAPER TRAIL, BUT NEEDLESS TO SAY i DO HAVE A PAPER TRAIL ON HER AND NOW THE STATES ATTORNY'S OFFICE HAS IT TOO. SHARON, YOU MESSED WITH THE WRONG BREEDER.

You told me you no longer wanted Tessa lines as you stated their are always health issues. You know Their is a possibly that Paris can no longer breed. You let the other keep that female now since I wont share my pictures on my webpage you decided to keep her. You said the samething to me about Belle bethany's dog then you turned around and sold her too. What comes around goes around?

Karen

You have done me wrong sooo many times but I bit my lips and tried.

1.You were not watching Snickers and he got out we almost lost him

2.You took 2 picks out of Tessa litter before I got my first pick. I let you have them.
3.You stole my photo's of Paris without asking of Paris for advertising being sneaky. Most people would

ask first.                                                         

4. You have to use all my ideas for your own site. I work my a*s off searching for the pies and my time.
You need to do your own research and get ideas how you want make a website your own style.(and I am saying this nicely btw.)Not taking all mine. I dont want our pies to be the same on our website but different, All I ask is that you for once be nice and let me have this girl as I will be losing a yorkie female and I only have one female non related I can use. I have done sooo much for you. If not then I am done. I feel like you are just using me for website ideas and are not being fair. Just how I feel.

 Sharon,

1.Snickers darted out the door when you pulled up. We were watching him. He must have known you were pulling up because he didn't do it the whole time he was here.

2.1 really don't remember how the picks went down for Tessa's litter. That was so long ago.
3.1 did not steal your photo of Paris was one of my pups so I didn't see anything wrong with
using it. I would let you use it if it was one of your pups. I was not being sneaky about it.

4.1 use my own ideas on my website not your. I don't even look at your website as I have much better things to do than spy on other breeders websites. I do, do my own research on line and work my a*s off finding it. Pat tells me I'm always on the computer.

5. I'm sorry but when Paris had the litter your the one that said to me you gonna want the female and I said yes. So yes we are keeping the female. I'm sorry that you are upset but I have better things to do than fight with people. See you
on September 29th.

Subject: Re: Here are the yorkie puppies

Karen

You wanted to know what I am upset about. Let me list why I am getting frustrated with you. I have tried to over look things and be patient but you brought out the friends card on me.

l.Friends don't take off on their bikes when they know are driving almost 2 hours to pick up their dog. (Y ou have mentioned to me also that was long ride. How would you feel if I took off knowing you were driving over on the long ride over. Just saying .... )Then found out he's not being looked after and takes off out the door. It took me a lot oftime and to trust you again with my pets. I was very hurt by this. I would never do that to someone I concidered a friend.

2.Friends would never steal a customer away from another friend like you did to me when I gave u as a reference.

3.You may not realize it but you have copied my website name, named 2 of your dogs the same as mine, every time I make a change to website you are right behind doing the same. I dont want our graphics and website to be the same. I am trying to have my own ideas and dog names. I learned how to do things my own way and style. It is very upsetting to have someone go right behind you and copy you. you dont need to that Karen. You have some wonderful ideas and creativity. I am not the only that has noticed our sites and such. If you take the time you can find what style you want. Please do not copy anything on site or style on how I do my photo's. Lisa and ken have taught me how to do the basics like I have with you. I took hrs of practic to decide my style. Lisa's webpage and graphics are not the same as mine. I know she would be very upset with me I made every same change she did on her site the same way.

4. You have taken my photo's and posted them without asking me and put your names on them only to promote your sales.

 I would never do that to my friends. I would ask first out of respect for my friend. Please dont post my photo's up on your site with your name on them. I want you to take down as of  082712.

I am not trying to fight with you. I am very hurt how you have been treating me is all. You dont ask if I mind you just take or feel you should the same graphics as I do and such. I feel you dont want to take the time to find things. Well it is my time and hard work of finding things. I dont want them taken from me. With gods help I will get over it. My feelings are very hurt right now as to how someone can treat me like that. I am glad I got this off my chest so I can move on. I will meet you in Dixon to pick up the girl. I see you still have her listed for Sale. I dont know why you want to lie to me either. I wish you would take my feelings into consideration is all.

Sharon

Subject: Re: Here are the yorkie puppies

Sharon,

1. As I told you before, Snickers ran out the door when you were pulling up. He must have sensed you were coming. He was taking very care of while in my care. I didn't feel I needed to stick around because Pat was home.

2. I don't know what you are talking about I stole a customer away from you. Tell me how did I steal a customer away from you? I never sold a dog to anyone that you referred to me. If you referred someone to me how am I stealing a customer away from you anyways? I always referred people to you because we didn't have Shih Tzus or Yorkies. I don't need your referrals as we do very well on our own selling our puppies. But thank you anyways.

3.1 didn't steal your website name. My first website name was pierceshappypuppypawprints.com NOT starzpuppypawprintshihtzus.com. It is now piercespreciouspuppies.com as you know. So I don't know what you are talking about.

4. I didn't steal any of your website ideas. Lisa Douris set up my new website and I changed it around a bit but it is my own design. How can I steal anything from your website when it is copy protected. Your website is nothing like mine. I assure you that I don't go on your website to see what is looks like. I have better things to do with my time. I am taking web design classes to learn what I am doing on my website. What you do on your website is your business and what I do on my website is my business. I don't need to steal from you. What I have on my website I search for it on line. Just because we might have some of the same things on our website doesn't mean I copied it or stole it from you. It is free on the Internet. I am doing as you do. I am searching for what I like and then I put it on my website. I don't know what you are talking about every time you change your website that I'm right behind you doing the same. The only time I change anything on my website is when we have a litter of puppies. I change it then because I have to move pictures around. The style site I have on my site was built by the web designer Lisa Douris.

5. I used only one pic of yours which was Paris and I felt that since she was originally one of my puppies that it was not a problem to use it. Paris picture is not what promotes my business. It is me, myself and I who promotes my business. It is how I come across to people, how I talk to people, the look of my website, the home we raise our dogs and puppies in, it is the quality of our dogs that sells our puppies. We don't look to fight with customers we look to please them and "fix any problems that they may have with the puppy. Not that we have many problems with customers. We are very professional with our customers and that is why they refer us to friends and family members and that is why we always have repeat buyers. It is not because of you that we sell our puppies fast.

6. I didn't steal any dog names from you. I didn't know you have rights to names now and I need your permission to name my dogs names we choose for them.

 I couldn't even name off your dogs names other than Paris, Kimmie, Snickers and I believe Gracie.

7. I put on my website you are the owner of Paris. The reason I put my name across it is because I didn'twant anyone to steal the pic because I didn't know how to copy protect my site. I already put her pic up on my website with out my name on it. As I learned from yahoo how to copy protect my site. If you don't want me to put her pic up on my site at all let me know. If so then take my s****.>

7. The female is NOT for sale as I took her off my website. I haven't had a chance to take her of off the advertising sites yet as I have been very busy.

8. I don't want to fight with you either. We are both professional breeders. Not competitors. We live in totally two different areas. I will see you on the 29th of September if she is ready. I have done nothing but treated you on a professional level. I feel your just up set because we decided to keep the female after all. It was not because you wanted her either. It is because we only have Tessa and by the time the female is old enough to breed Tessa will be retired. That is the reason.

Thanks,

 Hi Sharon,

Tried to call you back but you still have me blocked. I would like documentation from your vet that states the female is dead. This is just upsetting to me. How could something like this happen. We decided that if you want, mail me $600 stud fee instead of pick of litter if this is ok.

Let me know what you want to do. If you decide you still want me to get pick I will be out when they are six weeks old to choose and to take puppy home like last time.

Thanks,

Karen M Pierce

I will meet you at the BP right off the interstate in Dixon on Sept. 29 at 2:00 when Puppies are 8 wks old.

I am waiting til 8 wks of b/c I will vaccinate them without the lepto at 8 wks not at let you vaccine them before then like you do your puppies. Lepto is not good for puppies that young per my vet. That is why I am waiting til 8 wks of age. If your not their I will assume you dont want your pick.

I'm not meeting you on the side of the road like puppy mill breeders do. I will meet you at your house like I have done in the past. I would like documentation from your vet that she saw the dead puppy. Because how do I know that she truly died. I still don't understand how she died.

Pat wanted me to tell you he does not believe the female died accidently if she is dead. He said he believes that as much as the jury from the Drew Peterson trial believed his wife drowned in a bath tub. But in time the truth always prevails. Pat picked out Tessa and purchased her and you got two females from her. Now that we want a female from you it mysteriously dies. What kind of crap is that. If you are lying KARMA will come around and bite you the a** harder. It always does. I'm done discussing this.

Grow up. I took your females pictures off my website, the ones you gave me permission to put up. That is all I am taking off because I researched for what I have on my website which anyone can find on line for free. I can't help it that you are insecure about your website. Your always in a competition with other breeders. Well other breeders do know how to get free animation and free web sets from on line. So do what you have to do because my website is all from my hard work and I am not taking anything else off. So back off if you don't want to be arrested for harassment. I will file charges against you. I will be there on the 29th to pick up the 2nd pick of the litter since the 1 st pick which was the female mysteriously died.

Do you harass all other breeders because they have some of the same graphics as you? Just because you can't sell your dogs as fast as I can is not my problem.You seriously need to find a hobby that will not get you into confrontations with people. You're still pissed because we decided to keep the pick of litter which was to be the female. You know the one that died in your care. BTW what did you do with her? Dump her in the garage like a piece of trash.You're the one that keeps getting puppies returned because they are sick not me. You're the one that argues with your customers because they want to return the sick puppies not me. You seem to be jealous because we are doing very well with placing our puppies and your stuck with yours for long periods of time. I too can make phone calls. My lawyer gave me all necessary phone numbers needed to start my complaints on you. So if you continue I will start making calls today if you don't stop with your harassment. Do you still harass other breeders. You're the one that Breeders Club does not want on there because of all the negative complaints on you. You're the one on riproffreport.com. Your the one that keeps changing your phone numbers and puts West Chicago as your address. Your the one that meets people on the side of the road like a puppy mill breeder because you don't want people seeing your 30 plus dogs in your trailer. So you really need to stop with your bull s*** and get a life. I have all the names of your past customers that put in complaints on you and have already spoken to them. They will testify on our behalf about what kind of breeder you are. My friend who is a private investigator has all kinds of evidence on you. Sharon this is your life in a summary, fighting with people, your dogs and your trailer. You need to find a positive hobby and some new friends. Example - I went out to the sandwich fair to see a concert with a couple that I studded my Shih Tzu to. They are very nice people with positive attitudes unlike you. BTW the pick from them is already sold to a previous customer of mine because I have great quality dogs and I am a great responsible breeder. And the people I studded to Mike is a sherriff and knows about what you are doing. So Sharon make your moves and we will make ours. BTW we feel sorry for Ken and Kristina because they have to live with such a miserable person.

Pat said the reason your on ripoffreport.com is because you are a rip off. When I come out on the 29th I want the female that you said that is dead. You have not provided the proof that she died. If you send the proof then I will have no option but to take a male. The website is not the problem, the problem is that people don't want to buy from a breeder in a trailer and on ripoffreport.com. If you took the dead Yorkie female to the vet we want proof. If you buried her I want to see it. It's very suspicious that you called me to tell me the female died after you had blocked my phone numbers from your phone instead of E-mailing me like you have been. What you don't want is a paper trail on the supposed dead female dog for AKC to see because in reality she did not die and you want to keep her yourself and register her in your name. Weill have the litter registration number to provide to AKC when I call on Monday morning.

I HAVE PROOF

AUTHOR: Karen Pierce-Pierce's Precious Puppies - ()

POSTED: Saturday, May 31, 2014

Sharon Gray is a lying thief. I studded my champion sire Yorkie to Sharon Gray's female Yorkie that she got from me for a stud service. I was suppose to get the pick of litter which was to be the female. She tells me the female got tangled in a baby blanket and drowned in a bowl of water. Well I contacted AKC and found out she lied about the female dying. I am filing a formal complaint with AKC and you will no longer beable to register with AKC. She still has the female and registered her late with AKC. I have all the documents to prove that she is a scammer.

So puppy buyers beware of this puppy mill breeder. As she is in it for the money not the welfare of the puppies. She does not honor her signed contract with puppy buyers and she does not honor other breeders stud contract. I will be taking you to court Sharon for theft of services. So you best have the puppy ready to leave your home to give to me or you will have to pay me $5000. You faulsly put reports on here about me and other breeders when in fact it is you that rips off people by lying about that your puppies are healthy when in fact they are not.

You rip off other breeders for thier pick of litter for your gain. You will be going to court and I will be bringing families that you sold sick puppies to and also other breeders that you sold puppies with full breeding rights and they cannot use the dog as breeders because of defects. You are a puppy mill breeder, just look at your record. You have several or should I say a lot of complaints here on ripoffreport.com.

SO PUPPY BUYERS DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DO YOUR HOMEWORK ON THE BREEDER BEFORE PURCHASING YOUR NEXT FAMILY PET. DO NOT MEET BREEDERS AT GAS STATIONS OR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MAKE SURE YOU ARE ABLE TO GO TO THE HOME THE PUPPIES ARE RAISED IN TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE NOT A PUPPY MILL. SO DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SHARON GRAY AS SHE TRULY IS A PUPPY MILL. IF YOU WANT TO SEE MORE PICTURE OF THE ENVIRONMENT OF THE CONDITIONS SHE RAISES HER PUPPIES IN PLEASE CONTACT ME AT (((email redacted))). OR ASK HER TO GO INTO HER FILTHY TINY TRAILER. THIS IS NOT OVER SHARON. YOU WILL BE CHARGED WITH THEFT. YOU MESSED AROUND WITH THE WRONG BREEDER.

Because of your negligence

AUTHOR: Karen - ()

POSTED: Wednesday, May 21, 2014

We took the male bc of your negligence. The original puppy I picked which was a female drowned in a bowl of water. You called me when they were four weeks old and told me this I have it on recording just in case you were to try to register her if she is not dead like you said. You think I'm gone to post that on my website about how your negligence allowed a puppy to die. You must really be a sick demented physco witch. I'm done with this noncense. My referrences say otherwise what you are posting. So really you're just making an a*s out of yourself that is all. Peop;e have been into my home and seen the envirement that the puppies are raised in. Unlike you. Also they see the wonderful temperments that my dogs have. So your not fooling anyone. Good by see you in court.

 Sharon, I am a reputable breeder. I did not know at the time when I used your male Shih Tzu that you were a puppy mill that was breeding in a trailor. You came to me with your male. So after I did find out you are a puppy mill breeder, I then cut ties with you because I do not to want to be associated with a puppy mill breeders. I said what I had to say. You always get into it with other breeders because your always snooping on their websites. So please stay off mine. And stop making out false report or have your freind Lisa file it for you.
