S & V Quality Pups = good? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Mellah · 05-06-2006, 06:25 PM

I have been talking to a woman from puppypetite.com about purchasing a yorkie she is selling for $550 i thought i found the perfect place but, after reading the horrible stories about Puppypetite.com on the older posts here I am defiantly not getting a yorkie there. I was about to head up there next week to get him. Thank god for you guys.

Then I found S & V Quality Pups in Brooklyn which is just a few blocks away and found a few posts saying how good they are. I just want to make sure, has anyone recently purchased a pup there? And does anyone know the prices on their yorkies? I can go up to $600. If there is a better place to go around Brooklyn or Philly please let me know!! Thanks

check the better business bureau. i found romeo from a small breeder in the courier post (south jersey). across the river from philly prices can be much lower in nj.

I bought my Napoleon from Quality Pups just one month ago. He is a healthy baby boy (teething really bad though) He is going to be a big one too. He is only 3 months and he weighs 5.2 lbs!

Quality Pups is fantastic! Ask for either Vincent or Ivan and they will help with everything. I am not sure if you can bargain with them but I got Napoleon for 900.

DO NOT BUY from them. I know someone who bought a yorkie from there who ended up super sick, and another one of her dogs had luxating patella's. After her first yorkie died, her second one had a ton of problems plus they don't feed them good food. They were feeding the dogs DELI MEAT, roast beef

Trust me, stay away from pet stores, besides their prices are ridiculous considering the pups health.

Excuse me. I am very sorry for your friend but you are basing a conclusion on one mere statistic. When I bought Napoleon from them, I made sure I knew the history and everything else. My neighbor bought their female yorkie from them who is now a year old and she is beautiful. I don't know who lied to you but deli meat is not only what they feed them. Have you ever heard of Cesar's? they told me that my puppy was to strictly be on that food because that is what they have been feeding him. They even gave me a few cans for free as well as a large Eukaneuba Crunchies bag. They were extremely nice and quite frankly I am appalled at your post. If you friend got such a bad pup then why would she go get another one from them. Also, you should know that S&V is not a petstore! They are a private family of breeders. R.Wall who breeds most of the yorkies is backed up by quite a few very happy on this forum, so if you don't believe me, please by all means speak to them. I know how bad puppy mills are but S&V is not AT ALL a puppy store!

browniesmom622 · 05-09-2006, 05:01 PM

People say such good things about them but all they are is a petstore they have big dogs little dogs no good breeder would sell there puppies in a petstore and theres no way he breeds all those breeds and there all heathly
jmo

to above ^Cesar's is Terrible food

Ritkaa · 05-09-2006, 06:09 PM

My breeder at quality pups only bred my dog and a few others, not ALL of them. The only two types of dogs at the place are malteses and yorkies so can somebody please explain to me how this is a pet-store? btw why is cesars so bad?

You are basing YOUR opinion about this PETSTORE on YOUR own experience. My friends dogs Seemed healthy in the beginning then closer to a year they showed signs of illnesses. Her father bought her the other yorkie from there not knowing about petstores and brokers. So it wasn't her that kept buying from him. And by the way Eukaneuba is a HORRIBLE brand as well as Cesars. And my friend didn't lie about it, I saw what he fed them and he SPECIFICALLY told my friend that he's been feeding them Boarshead Deli Roastbeef, so she needs to weene her off of it. He told her that himself. This poor puppy had so much diarhea it was unbelievable. She had scabs alllll over her belly and Ivan told her it was nothing and he would even hang up or ignore her calls. Her dewclaws were not removed like he said they were and he charged $1800 for her and advertised her as a teacup/toy. That's the kind of place it is, I thought I would educate you before you run off and advertise good things about a petstore. Just because your dog is healthy, it doesn't mean anything. I hope he stays healthy but don't be surprised if down the line he shows signs of bad health. I'm basing my experience off my friends 3 dogs, yes 3, not 1. She bought the first 2 together and her 3rd was from her father, he didn't know better. So you should get your facts straight before you back a broker like Ivan. That caused my friend lots of money and heartache and I wouldn't want anyone else to go through that. The original poster deserves the truth and here it is. It is up to her to now buy one from that store but at least she is informed and knows that you had a good experience with 1 dog up to the present, and my friend had 3 bad experiences with him.

Hey sorry about what I wrote, I didn't mean to get all defensive but I really thought s&v were good people. I may be wrong but I know a few agree with me on this forum. I didn't know Eukaneuba and Cesars was TERRIBLE? why is it so terrible?

vainchick5 · 05-10-2006, 09:10 AM

The ingredients are not good, as is the case with foods like Pedigree, Eukaneuba, Science Diet, Bil Jac, and Iams. They use a lot of byproducts instead of WHOLE foods, such as Chicken byproduct, instead of Whole Chicken. Or they'll use a lot of corn or chicken fat, which isn't good for the babies. Plus most of the ingredients are not natural or organic. Corn causes itching in dogs because they can't digest it and they are allergic to it. The better ingredients are more at the bottom of the list which means there is less of those as opposed to the bad ingredients which they use a lot more of since they are at the top of the list. Innova is a great natural/organic food for dogs with fresh veggies and fruits mixed into kibble which has rice and whole meat. Let me know if you have any questions about food. I've become an expert since I got a yorkie. It's ok, we all get defensive when it comes to our babies. I'm sure Napoleon will do just great, but you would have been the lucky one. After I saw what my friend had to go through and still has to go through, it break my heart. I wouldn't want anyone else to go through that at all.

Ritkaa · 05-10-2006, 09:13 AM

Yes i know what you mean. I would rather be sick a million times than have my puppy or anyone else in my family be sick

I can only tell you my experience with S & V Quality Pups. I got my Maltese from them ten years ago. They did not breed her. They brokered her. They also lied to me big time. I adopted Emma at probably the worst time one could, while I was grieving the loss of my Yorkie of 15 years. They saw me coming! I told them I wanted a small Maltese. They showed me Emma. They told me she was 2.5 pounds at 16 weeks. They assured me that she was going to be a tiny. They charged me quite a bit more than they would have for a larger dog (over $100.00 ten years ago.) I fell in love and I adopted her. I took her to my vet and he went crazy. She was probably closer to 10 weeks than 16. Needless to say, she grew much larger than they said. She's now over 10 lbs. There are also some doubts over whether she is purebred. Of course, I love her to death no matter, and am happy that she's healthy (the most important thing!!!), but I paid a premium for something I didn't get. I was taken!!!
