| Off her rocker, breeder! Hello, I joined this site today to thank those who warn people about a breeder, Connie at "faheykennel" in Clyde, KS. I am looking to buy a yorkie male. I simply asked her a question about size, on Next Day Pets. Before she e-mailed me with the answer, I looked up her kennel on google. I ran across this site, and read the many warnings about her. I let her know that I was no longer interested due to what I read, and thanked her for her time. That's when the fun started! She e-mailed me back and accused me of not being woman enough to make up my own mind. She wrote very nasty comments, then finished with attacking my religion, I can only assume she saw my facebook page. The lady is a serious crack pot!!! Just wanted to thank you all for the warning. |

I wish I had been a member before I got Remy -- but then I may not have choosen Remy and I love her sooo much just the way she is!! I am also glad you posted your experience -- that will prevent others from going to that breeder-- one small step in preventing paper mills

Missouri is known as the Puppymill Capital of the US. Neighboring midwest states like Kansas and Oklahoma also have a high number of them. Pennsylvania/Amish country has a hig volume of puppymills, too. | |

| Missouri just resently passed a puppy mill bill. It restricts breeders of having no more than 50 dogs & must be vet checked on regular basis along w/normal shelter, food and water. This bill went before the people for a vote & now some state representatives are trying to get it reversed. Can you believe that! I sent e-mail to Mo. govenor congradulating him & the state & pleaded w/him not to rescend this bill. Sorry, just little off main topic. |
