| Beward of Pin Oak Kennels - Purdy, MO We purchased our Yorkie 3 years ago from Pin Oak Kennels (Kelly Brown and Casey Brown-Harris) - I found her website to be informative and the letters from "happy" buyers; of course, she wouldn't post unhappy buyers. Anyway, I had recently lost my 14 year old Yorkie and bought with my heart and not my head. After numerous health issues, our Lexie was finally diagnosed with a congenital portosystemic shunt. I didn't know at the time I purchase her that I should be very aware of USDA Kennels and APRI registrations - please only buy from reputable breeders and avoid this breeder! |

Lexie, at the moment, is doing quite well on Hills K/D and metronidazole, which is the recommended antibiotic for liver dogs. I have also just recently started her on Marin (vit E and Silybin and Zink). I will be so happy when she's back to her active ball fetching self!! | |

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Yeesh! Just looked at her website and there sure are lots of red flags on it. Very poor health guarantee. Multiple breeds. Cross breeds. No pictures of her dams and sires... I'm so sorry your little on is sick.

| Yeah, talk about red flags all over the place - I just wasn't paying attention - just seeing those sweet little puppies' faces were all I saw; and yes, basically no health guarantee. But a big lesson learned. I just hope anyone that is interested in buying a Yorkie checks out YT first - there is so much to learn here. When we bought from them, at that time she was only breeding Yorkies and French Bulldogs, but now I see she's gone into "designer" breeding - Yikes! |

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | I didn't know any of the warning signs of bad breeders until I found this site about a year ago either ( I lurked for a long time before joining). I'm betting that most people don't know what to look for- and once those sweet little faces get us, watch out! Unfortunately, that's what bad breeders count on

| warning signs There is a sight called petshop puppies, it's a good place to start. I'm so sorry this has happened to you. It would be heartbreaking to watch something you love so much suffer |

| Questionable breeder In 2008 we purchased a male Yorkie from a pet store in Rhode Isalnd. He was bred from Pin Oak Kennel. He is very large for a Yorkie and has curly hair. He is registered as a full breed. I contacted Ms. Brown from Pin Oak via letter and email to her web site. We just wanted to know further details about our dog and his parents. He is so far healthy and we love him dearly. At no time did we express any misgivings about him. However, we never received a reply from this breeder. I do question weather he is indeed a full breed in which we paid "full price" from a pet store. At this point we would never give him up.....he is the most loveable dog. I just question how honest this breeder is and if the pet store is aware. |

Yorkie Yakker | I guess I just supported some bad business. Eleanor came from a very nice house and I didnt think to question the breeders name on the registration form I was given. So far my little furbaby is alright, but I will refer to YT breeders for anyone looking for a breeder. love this sitr

I agree that it is the puppies who are truly affected because of this, and Ms. Kelly Brown of Pin Oak is named as the breeder along with the sire and dam.

| Our Lexie is doing quite well following surgery; however, we will not know if the surgery was truly successful for 6 months following the surgery. They put a cellophane band on the shunt which slowly closes it for a period of 6 months. We'll know how well the surgery was once we take more blood tests at that time - but at least we know we'vel done all we can for her. I wish you continued good health with your pup - hopefully not all her dogs were affected with this health issue. I, of course, let her know our problems and asked that she restrain from breeding Lexie's sire and dam, but never heard a thing from her. Good luck. Becca |
