| Unfortunately Yes!!!!! I bought and sold a male. I have been to her house...I had the pup for about 3 months. When I got him he was underweight and bad teeth, and ear mites. She brought out several different puppies for me to look at. All different DOB, all out of state breeders and NOT one Dam or Sire on site. She get pups about once a month and sells the out of the Houston chronicle. It was difficult because we got attached to Jag. Thus I learned an expensive and painful lesson. He got to be quite large and was not what I was looking for at all. I sold him to an older couple fixed and now he is a lap dog enjoying the good life. I learned from that experience you get what you pay for. I also learned to examine breeders very closely. My breeder now if wonderful. Her website is gotyorkies.com I have been talking with her for about 8 months, she is very knowledgable and has beautiful yorkies with excellant lines.I hope others learn from my ignorance, That is why I'm on YT. I want to learn everything I can in order to be the best Yorkie MOM ever. |

| I personally had experience with them. I bought my little girl from them 1 year ago. I could go into a long medical history or you can check my past posts. To make a long story very short - my very precious Lola is 6 weeks post surgery from University of TN where Dr. Tobias repaired her liver shunt and also diagnosed her with luxating patella in both back knees. We have and will continue to do whatever is necessary for our baby girl to be comfortable, healthy and happy, but what these people are doing is a shame. We contacted them and let them know what had happend with Lola - we got no response. We love Lola and feel very fortunate that we were able to help her - I would NEVER, EVER, EVER recommend buying from these people. |

| This has been a very long and expensive road for us. It makes me very angry that my precious puppy has had to go through all that she has had to because of greedy breeders and brokers. I, too, was very ignorant about BYB, brokers, etc. when we bought Lola. I really thought that as much as we paid for her that she was bound to be healthy and "well bred" - ha! They give you a 24 or 48 hr guarantee which is certainly not enough time to find out about the liver problem that Lola had. I would never have taken Lola back to them, but they did not even respond when I let them know about her problems. I can't believe that they can continue to do what they do. On one hand, I am glad to be finished with them, on the other hand for them to totally ignore what they have done is unbelievable. |

| FancyPups.com I too bought a puppy from these people. I took my granddaughter to buy a puppy and of course when she saw them, she would not leave without one. Their website states "successfully bred and sold Yorkshire Terriers over 20 years. When I asked to see the parents I found out that they do not have the parents on site. When I went to my veterinarian for my "48 hour" health check, I was informed that this puppy had come from a puppy mill in Oklahoma where bitches are bred repeatedly to churn out puppies as fast as they can until they die. I assumed I was getting an AKC Registered Pup but when I got home and looked at the papers, it was ACA "American Canine Association" which I had never heard of. Five years ago I paid $1,000 for my pup and was very disappointed. These pups are not quality bred dogs; legs are crooked and ears do not stand. I am now stuck with a pet that doesn't even look like a yorkie. I too contacted these people and told them that they could be held liable for false advertisement - but never heard back from them. I watch their site to see just how many puppies they are turning out and making a killing on innocent, inexperienced puppy buyers. I have learned an expensive lesson and hope this will help someone else. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I'd never trust a breeder with a PayPal link on their site. They are in the business of selling dogs. We have too many pet dogs available, find a breeder who breeds to improve and preserve the breed or rescue a pet.

♪♥ Jazi & Izi's Mom ♥♫ Donating Member | She wasn't in Florida was she? Kind of sounds like the first one I visited in Cocoa/Canaveral Florida back in January. She had all kinds of litters, different ages, weird colors. Wouldn't show me the parents. She said she was inspected by AKC. After reading your post, I assume she was a broker too. Shameful...

| Both of mine came from Fancy Pups. I had no idea what a broker was until I came to YT. One of mine came from OK and one from TX. I can't find their breeders, wish I could. Jon Rascoe quit answering my emails a long time ago. They have no shame.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Yeah, it sounds like they have outlets in most states, so this is another indication that they are a broker buying from all sorts of backyard breeders and puppy millers.

So they advertise online and buy from others? There is another one that I ran across recently in my area. They accept paypal and walmart money grams. Not a good sign I don't think.
