| Wonderful Breeder Hendrick's House in Texas Scooby is my first Yorkie and we purchased him from Hendrick's House in Rice, Texas. I had originally called her to ask about one dog even though I was not sure I could afford it. When she found out that we were strapped for cash due to my oldest son's health issues, she worked out a deal with us and my two boys now have their amazing Scooby! She was very careful about picking the perfect dog for us when I described our lifestyle and my children. I have to tell you, Scooby is the perfect baby for us! As I have doen more research on Yorkies, I have discovered that hers are pretty perfect especially if you go by AKC standards. The vet agrees! In fact, he asked for her number to buy one. (not sure if he did). They provided us with a great deal of information about raising Yorkies and how to become properly trained by one. We could never ask for better. Now that we are back on our feet somewhat, we are ready to buy a girl and I will only buy from her. They are great and caring people. |

| Wow! Thanks for letting me know. It is kind of hard for me to believe considering I have had such a great experience. |

How do you not believe something like that? There is no "believing it or not believing it", it's something that happened to a member here and they were obviously in the wrong for still having pups in a breeding program that possibly have a congenital defect. I hope your pup stays healthy and you have no problems with him. Good luck!

| Let me rephrase. I believe that any breeder can have bad results at times. We have had a great experience with the Hendrick's and they have been very helpful when I had questions. It is not that I don't believe, it is just odd that we had such different experiences. Mine being wonderful, hers being horrible. I am sorry that she has such a sick baby but I have a wonderfully healthy puppy from them. |

I don't know, I'm always wary of any breeder who purposely breeds "tiny teacups." And breeding a 3 1/2 lb momma.... | |

| I agree, I also think if they know their dogs carry a gene for a birth defect then they should not breed that dog anymore. A responsible breeder would spay/nueter and pull them from their breeding program. Buying a healthy pup should not be a gamble. |

| I'm sorry but Hendrick House is a TERRIBLE breeder. You need to read past threads by BLEU BOY BARBER...she bought Bleu Boy from that breeder last August and by January she was at Texas A&M University where he was diagnosed with Atlanto-Axial Subluxation, a genetic condition. $10,000 later Bleu Boy is a happy, healthy yorkie...but he constantly has to be monitored for any changes as it could be a problem with his neck. This breeder did not stop breeding the parents...she was advertising the sire of Bleu Boy on her site for sale as a breeding quality dog. Any breeder who advertises teacups in NOT a reputable breeder and this breeder is overcharging for poorly bred puppies in my opinion. I can't help but get VERY worked up over this breeder because I have personally seen the pain and suffering Bleu Boy and his family have been through because of this breeder's thoughtless breeding And I certainly learned that this breeder did NOT care enough to start her breeding program over...she is still breeding dogs, knowing nothing about their genetic health history I just hope your dog grows up to be healthy

| I have tried to ignore the slander by some on this site. I have tried to ignore Vicki's posting and her feble apology for dragging our name through the mud. I think there are those who are quick to judge without taking the time to check out a story to see if there is validity to it. I too, had lengthy conversation and testing with the doctor at Texas A&M who did the surgery on Bleu Boy. She stated that she saw no conclusive evidence that Bleu's AAS was congenital during surgery. Normally a pup with this congenital defect would have these vertebre present without ligiments are non connected ligiments, thus leaving them vunerable to sudden movement. Bleu had all the ligiments, but some were torn. No one can say for sure, but it may have been a terrrible accident. Notwithstanding, I immediately removed the line from breeding, and had lots of testing,x-rays and MRI's. Not one other adult or pup from this line had any indication that they had such a defect. The intereting part is that with all the ugly statements and accusations NOT ONE PERSON has ever come to my home to observe, look at my breeding books,or even call to ask...BUT some of you are still quick to make broad statements of what bad breeders we are- HOW WOULD you know? I take that back...AKC did come and we received 28 out of 28 upon inspection. Please do not be ugly to this nice lady, she was just expressing her opinion, we still have that right. I would just take a step back and concider if YOU have all the facts before you jump to slander someone you have never met, seen their pups, or have any indepth knowledge of their practices, morals, and goals. I will pray for your insite and in spite of it all, I forgive you. |

Anyone can click on this breeder's nursery link and see the puppies they have for sale, see the "tiny toy", "teacup" and "tiny teacup" advertisments and the outrageous prices for pet quality puppies. Then from that nursey page click the link at the very top of the page that says "More puppies for sale" and it will take you to a link showing their "breeder stock" available for purchase. Take a good look at what this breeder considers breeding quality. Take a look at the dams and sires...you'll see 3 and 4lb bitches being bred. Puppies are sold on full registration with no regard to if they end up in the hands of someone who will breed for the wrong reasons...not to mention, that pet quality pups should be spayed/neutered and not bred anyway but that's a whole other story... The OP has already posted a thread asking opinions about using their puppy as a stud...so obviously no spay/neuter contracts or limited registration for these pups being sold (which I already knew before this thread). I just think it's very clear what kind of breeder this is and these are all facts being posted that can be seen on the website for yourself.

| Also, due to confidentiality laws there is no way that Texas A&M would have discussed Bleu Boy's case without Vicki being there as well. They are unable to discuss a patient or their records with anyone but the owners. I know this first hand.

| I can assure you anyone reading this .. Janis Hendrick has not had access to BLEU BOYS SURGEON AND OR HIS RECORDS due to hippa privacy laws. First of all, anyone wishing to see BLEU BOYS discharge from TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY . I encourage you to email me for my phone number . HIS 20 page discharge papers clearly state with 2 legal binding signatures and my own signature validatiing the discharge papers of my BLEU BOYS diagnosis. OCCIPITAL ATLANTO AXIAL SUBLUXATION DUE TO 6 MONTH BIRTH CONGENITAL DEFECT. Thank you to prayers. BLEU BOY IS ONE HEALTHY LITTLE GUY!! PROSPECT BUYERS DO YOUR HOMEWORK!! IF A BREEDER STATES THEY HAVE DONE ALL THESE "TESTS" ESPECIALLY MRIS ON THE MOM AND DAD.. ASK FOR PROOF!!! GET THAT PROOF OF ALL YOUR MEDICAL TESTING SCANNED IN MRS HENDRICK I AND OTHERS WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT IT WOULD DEFINITELY VALIDATE YOUR NEW "BREEDING PROGRAM" UPLOADING IMAGES HERE IS NOT HARD AT ALL IF YOU NEED HELP ANYONE CAN HELP YOU JUST ASK

You don't need an inhome assessment to see that the breeder is breeding 3.5 pound girls and that they are mass producing litters. | |
