i just wanted to thank everyone who took the time to post this valuable information!  My husband and I lost our little chihuahua a couple of days ago, and heartbroken contacted this breeder.  Something in my gut didn't feel right. I'm so GLAD I found this report.

thank you to Ripoffreport and to everyone who had the guts to come forward and save my husband and I from even more pai.

God Bless You All!

There was never a replacement dog! I see that all of Sandy's friends have all gotten on here to talk about what a good breeder she is. Well, it is all lies!! Just like Heather lying about having the sister of the "replacement dog" that never existed for me. More than one person has had the same experiences with this terrible puppy-mill. Sandy Wills should not be breeding anything.....and should be shut down. You are all talking about how my puppy that died was really Betty's dog....Sandy never tells anyone that they are not her puppies. She claimed they are all her puppies. She is a liar. I had never heard of Betty. Sandy Wills runs a Puppy-Mill in the saddest sense of the word.

I had purchased a puppy from Sandy Wills that dies a few days later.....the puppy had a horrible disease that she got from the PUPPY MILL that Sandy Wills and Betty run... and although the puppy received the very best car at a vet hospital, it died... and Sandy did not offer to replace the dog or give me any of my money back in good faith. I was so heartbroken!!

Here is my rip-off report about it....

Cindy, I am so sorry that you did not see my Rip-off Report first. I am surprised that Sandy sent you a replacement puppy at all Cindy.

Sandy Wills-Morning Star Chihuahuas apup4u.com also sold ME a puppy that also died a few days later.

She sold me a teacup long-haired Chihuahua in 2002 and she has had my rip-off report removed. I paid $1000 in good faith and drove to her home and picked up the puppy. The puppy had diarrhea and was very very sick with parvo. The puppy spent it's entire last few days with around the clock care and feeding at a 24 hour vet hospital (with an IV). It cost me another $3000 and the puppy's little body gave out a few days later anyway. I had contacted Sandy right away and told her about it.

She said that I had needed to return her before the puppy had died in order to get a replacement or my money back...she had never told me that. She also said that it was Betty's puppy (I never knew that, nor did I care...I had all exchanges with Sandy) It took Sandy almost a week to respond to my email and the puppy had already died by the time she responded. She refused to give me a replacement puppy nor any money back. I am not a breeder and I do not know Cindy at all. I am just an honest woman who lives in Dallas, TX that tried buying an adorable puppy from apup4u.com

If Sandy had not been successful at having my rip-off report removed, Cindy would have seen that Sandy and/or Brenda is a crook and would never have purchased from her. I am actually shocked that Sandy sent Cindy a replacement puppy at all.

I have since purchased 2 adorable TeaCup Chi's from a reputable breeder (one is 10 and the other is 11) and are both in perfect health.

Also, my BFF was looking for 2 teacup Chi's and stumbled upon Sandy's website...sent me a link to the ones she wanted....and I told her to stay away from Sandy's puppies (after recounting what happened to me). She did.

You are very correct in writing what you did !  Good for you.  I knew Cindy when she lived here in Pahrump.  She was a very good breeder.  What she did wrong was BUY from other nasty breeders.  she had enough of her own nice dogs.  Live and learn I guess.  God will deal with all of them.  He always does.  Overcome Evil with Good. 

Yes, I am a friend of Cindy Kearney.  She married Chuck Tanner and became Cindy Tanner.  That is a very normal thing to do.  Change your last name.   Chuck passed away in 2000.  After a lady, Holly Maxwell and her bought two Champion dogs together, Holly wanted Cindy to change her website name and use her middle name...thus, Ann Tanner.  People do this all the time.  I have other friends that go by their middle name.  Holly felt that Gemstone Puppies was not sophisticated enough for a website she would be connected with.   So, Holly suggested Charming Little Chis, also dba Champion Line Chihuahuas.  Make a new look.   All the bad things written about my friend, Cindy is not even a tiny bit true.  All these "so called Christians" wanted, was for Cindy not to be competition for them.  Writing things was the only way they knew to make her look bad.  These people, Morning Star Chihuahuas, Sandy Wills, My Fabulous Longcoats, Donne Reid, have Christian symbols on their websites and in no way can be a born again Christian.  If they were, they would not offend God by writing this stuff.  Christians do not engage in this sort of thing.  I am here to say that Cindy Ann Kearney-Tanner is a very nice person that paid a lot of money for dogs, that she did not get.  I have known Cindy for years and have seen the dogs mentioned.  Also, Cindy dropped her lawsuit due to the expenses getting higher than originally stated by her Attorney.  It was never thrown out of court.  It was just pulled, by Cindy.  I think it was a good move, as it was not worth spending more money on.  It had happened and it was over.  Cindy got ripped off !  The people that did it got away with it..for now.  God will not bless these people.  Until they admit what they did, they will never enter into the kingdom of Heaven.  This is all I have to say. 

Dear Morning Star Chihuahuas I would like to take this opportunity to ask you and any other breeder that have had bad dealings with Cindy Kearney AKA Ann Tanner to join me in my quest to stop her campaign of lies and slander against good and honest breeders.

In case you did not know it Cindy Kearney is now Ann Tanner! And claims to live in California. Her new web site is Charming Little Chis / Champion Lined Chihuahuas. We have P.I. Working with us to find out more info and will keep posting it. She has many aliases if you find any other info that will help us please let us know.

I am happy to inform you that I am putting together a group of breeders and people who have bought puppies from her and were scammed. Just like you. I will be contacting you via e-mail, in hopes that you will join us in stopping this madness.

People if you are reading this and other reports posted by Cindy /Ann be aware this is her way of forcing them to bend to her will. Do not be fooled by her vicious tactics she will say or do any thing to ware her victim down. She uses Puppy Find as well to rip up people. BEWARE!

Morning Star I am sorry that you fell victim to her as so many others. Lets work together to stop her.

That is all that needs to be said. But I would like to go on and state that I am sorry for all the people that have been placed on rip-off report that should not have been. These reports are never taken off of their site, there for evil minded people can place a report on any one they wish to slander. Giving these lies eternal life. So people keep this in mind when reading any report found on this site. I am sure there are just as many true reports as false there for you must find other avenues to investigate these businesses.

So things did not work out between Cindy and I it happens. Things never should have gone to this extreme. But they did. I wish her nothing but the best.

I would like to thank all the Breeders & Clients that stood behind me during this time. Your emails and phone calls were such blessings to me.

Again I would like to state that if any one has any questions about this report please feel free to call me or e-mail me I will be happy to provide any information you may need to put your mind at ease.

i happen to come across this report on my breeder when i was searching for her website to purchase ANOTHER puppy, i purchased my 1st puppy from her 4 yrs ago and it was the best decision i could of made, i received all paperwork with up to date shots as well as a health guarantee. i must say when i received my pup it was quite obvious that these pups were very well taken care of, my pup showed no sings whatsoever of mistreatment. These types of comments disgust me, because this breeder was adamant about us taking our pup to the vet and having him checked and to be sure he was healthy, which he was.... do not listen to this same person saying the same thing over & over & over again, clearly they are just out to hurt this breeders reputation. DONT FALL FOR IT, this breeder is excellent!!

I, Betty Gxxxxx, used Sandy Wills to list and sell my pups for a 10% commission fee. A black and white female Chihuahua pup, AKC registration application # TR6698210 was listed for sale for $2,000.00. This pup's dam (mother), Davishall Lily Tomlin, AKC #TR33613602 belongs to me. The pup's sire (dad), CH Davishall Checkmate O'Breglenn belongs to Sandy Wills. This pup was sold to Cindy on 8-21-07. Cindy was not happy with the selling price and after negotiations, the pup was sold to her for $2,000.00 which included the shipping cost. The money collected by Sandy Wills was retained for a stud fee.

A signed Contract was received from Cindy, which firmly states that the pup must be taken to a vet for a complete vet check within 24 hours after receipt of pup. As far as I know, this pup was never taken to a vet and there was no vet report. A required vet report was never received.

((How do you explain this e-mail Cindy? Isn't this Betty Gxxxxxxxxx addmitting this was her dog NOT Sandy... the first puppy belonged to her... you know... the one that you let die, the one you left for 5 hours having seizures as you said in your own statement shown below. The one you didn't take to the Vet while it was going Hypo everyday for 5 days. The one you left alone in a cage for 5 days! The puppy you have now Sandy gave to you because Betty WOULD NOT give you a puppy! I own the sister to that puppy and she is wonderful and beautiful and she will be showing soon. Your only trying to ruin this womans good reputation. I know several people who have bought dogs from Sandy, and I know 3 other people who have puppies out of that replacement puppies litter and none of them have any problems! Thats the puppy YOU chose... I have read the e-mails where you demanded that she give you the puppy you have now! Its like having a child... you never know what can happen with them... that goes for puppies, too. Do you throw a child into a foster home because its teeth are bad? You bought the dog for breeding... last I knew that didn't matter when breeding. Lets see the dog now!))

Sept. 26, 2007

This puppy, age 9 weeks and 3 days, was picked up by me on Monday, Sept. 17th. She was very unhappy at the airport, crying. The flight upset her a lot. Temp was taken when I got home and was normal.

Puppy appeared normal. She was kenneled in my puppy room in a cage by herself that afternoon. She was not real happy she was alone.

The next morning (Tues., 18th) I put her in a larger puppy pen with a little female of mine, 1 week older. She seemed happier. That evening she went hypo and I fed her karo syrup in water, pet drops and wet food. She ate the wet food (lamb, chicken and rice) well for a few bites. Then backed off. I let her stay with the other little female all night.

The next morning (Wed, 19th) I fed them both wet food, put karo in their water bowl and played with them awhile. She did not eat much wet food. She seemed okay. That afternoon she went hypo again. I treated her the same as above.

Thurs. 20th, morn. I did the same routine. That evening she was hypo again. Still not eating much, but seemed like she wanted to eat.

Fri., 21st, she seemed fine all day and evening. She ate a bit of wet food.

Sat., 22nd, I let two other puppies about the same age and her and the little one she was with, all on the floor to play awhile. It was about hour. She walked around more than played. This was the first time any of the puppies were out of the cage. I do not put my puppies on the floor until 10 weeks of age and two vaccinations have been given. She was now due for her 10 week vaccination, but I did not give it to her due to her having the hypo episodes. She wanted me to pick her up. I did for a few min. then put her back down. About 5 pm I fed them wet food. She ate somebut not much. I checked on them at 7 pm and everyone was fine. At 10 pm I went to do my last check and found her s****.> My Vet does not work Sun. or Monday, so I refrigerated the corpse. On Tues., the 25th I took it into the Vet and had a necropsy performed. Results are pending. I did however, get a statement from my Vet on Tues., which I am including with this.

I also had my puppy that was with the dead puppy for 4 days, examined and she was fine. No stool issues or irregularities.

The initial exam after receipt of the puppy was informal, not in a Vet office. A small animal and Equine Vet was at my home and I ask him to take a look. The exam was listening to the heart and visual. Puppy seemed normal.

If anyone has read my original response to the lady who posted this and others about Morning Star Chihuahuas/Sandy Wills would have taken my advice. This complaint actually made me laugh. The original puppy WAS Betty's Dog. I have also ask Sandy about this, too and seen a personal email from Betty saying that this Dog was hers. Personaly I don't feel that Sandy was obligated in anyway to replace this dog with one of her own. I again encorage others who may come apon this horrable complaint of a wonderful woman and breeder to see my own personal dog from this breeder on my myspace page, on Sandy's very own page and to email me if they wish. I have the sister to the replacement puppy and she is stunning. I will personaly be showing her very shortly. Also I'd like to add that Sandy is a wonderful lady and has asked any and all questions I have had about these alagations and she has been open and honest with me and I encorage others to see her page, email her or even call her if you have questions of your own.

I personaly have the sister to the replacement dog and she is the most STUNNING dog that I have ever seen. I am personaly going to be showing her in the near future and have seen, and worked with all of Sandy's other dogs. I was absolutely SHOKED to come across this report and would like all who read it to check out my personal myspace page to view for your selfs this stunning dog. We are together on my profile picture and there are MANY other pictures of her in a Blog named: Baby Girl. I have also personaly been to her home, seen her dogs... the home and the dogs are kepted VERY clean and are took care of like they were Kings and Queens. IN FACT! I have even personaly witnessed births and how all the puppies and mothers are taken care of through the ENTIRE process. I dont' see how she could say these things... I have seen the statement made by the lady making this complaint. How she didn't see a vet and watch her puppy died and have seisures. She kennled her puppy as soon as she got it home... KENNLED IT ALONE as if putting it in a Kennel wasn't bad enough! She left the puppy out in the kennel in her own statement and said she didn't take it out till morning and then stuck her in a puppy pen. In her own statement she said that this dog was hypo everyday she checked this puppy and she didn't force feed... she didn't give it nutrical either... nope just KERO in the puppys water... any breeder knows that if they are Hypo they have to force feed and water. On top of that... a good breeder would have had their eye on that puppy 24/7 as soon as it came off the plane. The puppy missed its 10 week vaccination since it was hypo. She then left the puppy alone AGAIN from 7pm-10pm and then when she decided to check it, she found it in a CAGE she left it in, seizing!! She watched this puppy do this for 5 hours... 5 HOURS and said that she "called" her Vet, but her vet doesn't work on Sundays or Mondays so she was planning on taking it in on Tuesday. ANYONE... NOT JUST A BREEDER knows that in an emergancy that a vet WILL come in ANYTIME! I also encorage anyone who reads this to email me, see my myspace page of my Lil' Baby Girl, go see Sandy's page, call her, email her... I am sure she will answer to any question for she is a very kind and compationate lady. I too would love to answer any questions concerning this response to such horrable alagations. Again, I am SHOKED to read these alagations against someone who I have put all my trust in when it comes to beautiful show champions.

This is a bad attempt to make herself look better. Truth is, Sandy Wills, of MORNINGSTAR CHIHUAHUAS has avoided all of my attempts to get in touch with her. She forced me to file in court and I am now in the process of getting my money back for a dog I paid for, then died 5 days after receipt. I have had to retain the services of an Attorney. Sandy has done this before, but this time she is not getting away with it. I can not get Sandy to answer calls or certified letters. She refused them.

This is why it has gone to court. Sandy does not breed good dogs. Look at www.GemStonePuppies.com and you will see the dog she sent me as a replacement. This dog is not quality. It has a SEVERE undershot jaw. Sandy herself had ALL the money sent to her...Sandy herself sold me the dog. AKC has been informed and are well aware of her breeding practices. If you buy a dog from Sandy, do not expect her to stand behind what she sells. She will NOT do so. I have had numerous emails regarding the same thing she has done to others. Sandy can say anything she wants regarding the dogs I breed. But she does not know what she is talking about.

I have excellent healthy dogs and never have had a problem. This whole Rip-Off Report thing was started by Sandy in an attempt to make her look good. When in fact, it is HER who has caused this whole thing. She is not smart enough to fix the problem and go on...... She just does not stand behind what she sells. I intend to stop her from ever doing this to someone else again. It will cost her far more this way....but this is what she chooses. She can say she has all the good reviews in the world. I am sure they are friends of hers or the "lucky" ones that did not get the puppy with distemper, like the one she sent to me. Sandy is a vindective person who even threatened Betty.

Betty will now be involved in this, as Sandy insists Betty is at fault also. But according to law, me sending Sandy the money, Sandy shipping the dog and Sandy handling the entire transaction, Sandy is at fault. But Sandy insists Betty is at fault too. So, we shall see in the court hearing, just who is at fault. All I did was pay for a show potential dog that died of Distemper. No refund was provided and no similar quality puppy was sent. I was sent a "gift", which does not replace what I paid for. The "gift' has such an undershot jaw, out of her Champion Tango (who Sandy told me had a bad undershot jaw as a puppy...but it corrected), that it should never be bred.

It is not even going to make 3 lbs grown either. So, I have spent close to $3,000 on a dog that died (unhealthy when shipped), a necropsy and shipping for a "gift" puppy. THAT IS WRONG of Sandy to do to someone. So, if you feel you can trust a person like this....then go ahead and chance it. I know I will NEVER buy from her again and am telling everyone to BEWARE of her. So, Sandy..... I am asking again... Do you want to replace the puppy, take back the ugly little black puppy you pawned off on me ? Or........would you rather proceed in court ? So far, it is apparent Sandy would rather spend money going to court instead of making things right.

It is going to cost more going to court....but this is where the vindictive part shows. Something is very wrong with a person who acts like this. She avoids me....but writes things on this site. Wonder what she is really trying to prove ?????? Facing the person you wronged would be a good attempt to make things right.

To the readers of this sad attempt to destroys other peoples reputation, and out right lies, posted by Mrs. Kearney Please feel free to call me to hear my side or to be forwarded the e-mail from Betty Gwosdz stating this was her puppy.
