Julie Soutullo Sold me a puppy on Mar. 15,2006. Six days later found out he had Parvo Hallandale Beach Florida
Found this website and put in Julie Soutullo's name , just as a fluke and was shocked at first,but I guess I really expected to see all these complaints.When I lived in West Palm Beach ,I bought a Yorkie puppy,8 weeks old ,from her on Mar. 15,2006. Six days later he seemed lethargic and refused to eat so I took him to my vet who did some tests and found out the puppy had Parvo . I was very lucky , I had a great vet, Dr.Sal. Zeitlin at South Dixie Animal Hospital , and he pulled him through. I was in contact with Julie Soutullo and she said ,''send the bills to her, as this had never happened before with any puppies she sold.''
I sent the bills and heard all the excuses ... she was sick...her husband was sick...her mother was sick and it went on and on for several months. I contacted the Dept of Agriculture etc in Tallahassee ,never got any reply. At this point I'm not looking for restitution, I'm just happy I got that little ''Tea-cup'' Yorkie who now weighs 6 1/2 lbs away from that rotten excuse for a human being , because if I wouldn't have bought him he would have died of parvo in her care. She is a heartless piece of garbage. I kind of forgot about her until I found this website.and then I started to remember more . When I went to her condo to buy my puppy, she had one other puppy also and said it was sold.She seemed to push the one that I bought. And there were two adult T-cup Yorkies who she said were the parents and since the puppies were very tiny , I believed her. But my dog is not a T-cup, he's over 6 lbs .I paid $900.00 for him because he was a ''T-cup'' .
And as time passed I kept checking the newspaper for her ad and she kept the same ad except the phone and names would change back and forth to different numbers and names.This happened to me in 2006. I hope by now she has been stopped and hasn't hurt any more puppies or good people trying to buy a puppy for their kids. If anyone knows if she has been caught and stopped ,please post on this website.

UM, to my knowledge, there is no respectable registry that actually qualifies purebreds that registers ANYTHING as tea-cup. It is just a term for a SMALL or tiny dog. It has no VALIDITY whatsoever. Now, I am not one of those people who believe that a dog has to meet standard to be purebred. In fact, I remember the days when the average size for a yorkie was about eleven pounds or so (many many years ago) however, for the sake of this example, I am going to use an AKC standard - Chihuahua standard says not to exceed 6 lbs (this is FOR SHOW points, not just to BE a chihuahua), now tell me, how the heck do you go smaller than 0 lbs to get a tea-cup????? This tea-cup thing is driving me absolutely fricking nuts. My four pound yourkie is just that, my yorkie. People constantly refer to him as a tea-cup, the answer is a resounding NO. If you are so intent on getting a tiny tiny dog, there are a few breeders who do offer size guarantees, but you are paying out the *** for it, and you can not qualify usually if your dog has ANY extra fat. Those tiny tiny dogs tend to be extremely unhealthy with a WAY shorter life span as well. All health tests show my yorkie to be healthier than the majority of the 4 and 5 year old dogs at my vet clinics. He is eleven. At this rate, he might go till twenty. I'll take my twenty years instead of the eight I'd likely have (not to mention the medical bills) if he was 1 or 2 lbs smaller. Thanks for the vent, I'm sure I'll be unable to restrain myself somewhere else as well :-).
Aside from that, I am very glad your pup pulled through and is now healthy and well. The above was not directed at you, but at the whole tea-cup spiel. Please be very careful with her around other dogs in the future as I belive that survivors can periodically shed the disease, and transmitt it to others. Kudos to your vet for giving her the TLC they need to pull through.
