Stoneridge Mi-Ki's now d/b/a Angelic Mi-Ki and Cavaliers sold me what is supposed to be a pure Mi-Ki in January of 2018. She had been asking $1800.00 for the dog and I explained to her that I had just lost my Mi-Ki of 18 years and that I live on disability, so she dropped the price to $1600.00. I paid a $500.00 deposit on December 28th, 2017 with the final payment upon pick-up of $1,100.00 cash on January 3rd, 2018. I went online to look up her information on March 21st, 2020 because I had misplaced my contract and paperwork so I could call her for copies and found that Stoneridge Mi-Ki's no longer existed and was now called Angelic Mi-Ki and Cavaliers. Then I also found a BBB claim against her and then other reviews on her. It got me searching and found out that the claims were that she wasn't selling what she claimed to be. I went onto the Facebook group Mi-Ki Breeders and Buyers to ask what the best DNA test is for Mi-Ki's. I was old the wisdom panel 4. I purchased a test and sent in her DNA. I called and then emailed Teresa asking her for copies of my contract and paperwork. In the subject line I put in Misty's name and DOB. I hadn't changed the name she had originally give my "mi-ki". She responded with that she would need the dogs DOB as well as the parents name to look it up and she also told me that she was "out of town". I found that a bit odd that a breeder wouldn't have records under the litter's DOB. I responded that I didn't have the parents name hence why I was contacting her. She told me that without the names I was pretty much SOL. I had let her know that I have sent her pictures ever 6 or so months and that she had emailed me about 6 months ago asking if Misty was ready for a brother or sister. It was suggested to me to contact the American Pet Registry and there was nothing for Teresa, her kennel or Misty's name. I continued my conversation with Teresa, and she did ask me if I had my dog spayed and I let her know that I had. Her response was then why does it matter if you have the contract and paperwork. I told her it does matter to me. After that I heard nothing from her until I sent her an email letting her know that I had received the DNA results and that Misty was NOT a true Mi-Ki. Then she responded with this is disappointing news. Both Misty's parents are registered Mi-Ki's so there was no intent to deceive me. Now she is remembering me because she went on to say that she had always been more than fair with me and that this time would be no different as long as things are kept respectful both public and privately. Pretty much saying that as long as I don't tell people what I have gone through we can sweep it under the rug. She offered me a full refund if I wanted to return Misty who I have now had for 2 years or a reasonable price adjustment if I was wanting to keep her though I needed to keep in mind that she had already been discounted. If I had wanted a mixed breed dog, I could have rescued one for $300 and it would have already been spayed. I wanted a Mi-Ki and paid for what I thought was a Mi-Ki but is not a Mi-Ki! I responded to Teresa's email stating that first and foremost I am needing a copy of my contract and the rest of Misty's paperwork now that she was remembering me. That was on April 17th, 2020 and I have yet to hear from her. I wanted to put this review in so that if others purchase a puppy from her that if they are wanting a Mi-Ki that hers are not PURE MI-KI'S and that she has been listed on the 100 worst puppy mills, which she is. Since posting on Mi-Ki Breeder's and Buyer's many others have come out of the woodwork stating that they too had purchased from Teresa and are going to be doing DNA tests as well. Teresa needs to be held accountable for deceiving people. This is not the first time nor will it be the last time I am sure.
I did put in a review with the BBB and also filed a claim against her with the Kansas Attorney General!

So I had court today 12/1/2020 and the Judge found in my favor that Stoneridge Mikis now d/b/a/ Angelic Mikis and Cavaliers is not selling what they are claiming to sell. Beware of this kennel and run far away from them!!!!! A reputable Miki breeder is NOT going to ask for a $500 non-refundable deposit and they are going to do DNA testing for lineage and health testing. To register with a Miki registry you have to prove everything going back 3 generations. Angelic Miki and Cavaliers registers with the bottom of the bunch where she doesn't have to prove anything. They take the kennels word for it. Who she registers with is APR (American PET Registry) and with the NCR (National Canine Registry) which again you don't have to prove anything.

I would give them zero stars if I could. I tried to purchase a miki from the owner Theresa and she came across OK at first. A little strong but thought I was hopefully getting a good dog. After the second communication it went down hill. I saw numerous pictures of dogs from her site on many other websites. When I questioned her she said it was a fraud. I asked for an updated photo of my puppy since it has been three weeks and I wanted to make sure she existed. I got one excuse after another from my computer is not working to, too old, too tired, up all night, feeling sick, computer is fixed but send button doesn't work. However, she has been sending me emails all week with no picture just excuses from a send button that supposedly doesn't work. I finally spoke to her who said on speaker phone in front of my daughter that I will be getting the picture by the next morning? Talk about lack of customer service and professionalism. I get the run around and of course the picture was not emailed to me as promised. I called that day because at this point I am fed up with the excuses and nicely asked for the picture, and was given an attitude and a, I intend to get it out tonight. You have got to be kidding me! now I get abstract intent to. When I asked to clarify I get an attitude with, "Like I said I intend to send it out tonight". In other words you get it when you get it. As if the pictures all over the web wasn't shady enough.
I than just ask for my deposit back. I not only gave her many chances to respond to my picture request I am now getting an attitude along with excuses, which if she is a breeder doesn't come across as a reputable one. I was followed up with an email denying she said the picture will be in the next morning which I have a person who heard her say it. Just more lies after another. Basically she is refusing to return the deposit for a $1800 dog in which $500 of it was the deposit. I wish I had someone write a review about her so I could have avoided all of this and not been out $500 and deal with a huge headache. This was a horrible experience. I do not recommend this breeder, if she is a breeder, and hope, if she is a breeder, that she learns some people skills and realize you don't play run around games and give an attitude, especially to people that have been nice and patient, for a dog your selling that is worth $1800. From what I understand they sell cavaliers too at same site but cavaliers in replace of mikis with website name. I am not sure if they do or just have a site, but be careful and beware.
