| Looking at those poor dogs makes my brain hurt. I can't believe she actually puts "Korean yorkie" on the invoice and people still buy it!!!

| Thank you for sharing the links, I had no idea how to do it. Some of the testimonials on the Shutdown site had me in tears... How do we stop this lady?! Is there anything?

| Wow, another one in Alberta. There is this lady, too Tea Cup Yorkies Before we got our current puppy, my girlfriend really wanted one from the tea-cup-yorkies site and I had to explain to her that those dogs are not "right". I corresponded with the breeder asking about her dogs and she was extremely unprofessional, arrogant, and pushy. I am glad we found someone legit to get a dog from. Is this legal? |

| Wow, absolutely horrible. This needs to be shared as much as possible. Pass the word around. Can any body call the humane society on this women. Surely one day she will get Karma.

I totally believe you about the "breeder" (probably a broker) being unprofessional. Less than 5 secs looking at that site I already saw typos. "Tea cup yorkies fo sale" LOL. Fo sho. Oh to answer your question, is this legal? Unfortunately it is, selling over the internet. But if they are not paying taxes, that is illegal.

We got a little Yorkie angel some months ago. She is tiny too (not bred as a toy, just was small!), maybe will top out at 3 lbs, but the breeder (she actually shows dogs, not in it for breeding money) chose US. We found her, but the breeder made damn sure that we were right for the dog. It took months from the time we chose our dog to the time we actually got her. And she is not breeding for size. She is breeding for proper Yorkies and the small ones she "might" let go to good homes. At her discretion. Tons of respect for that. It is a shame what these toy breeders are doing is legal. They are purely in it for the money, not what is best for the breed or the puppies they are selling. We took 6-8 months finding our puppy, and it was really eye opening what is going on out there. Some of the "breeders" we dealt with...it was heartbreaking. | |

| I meant to say, it isn't illegal, unless they aren't paying taxes on the income they are making off the dogs.

| I got my puppy, Ruxpin, from this breeder. He's not from Korea, he's actually one of the ones she bred and he's absolutely perfect. He's almost 8 months old, 3.3 pounds and about the sweetest dog I've ever met. Loves people, other dogs and kids and I've had numerous "threats" from people wanting to steal him! I agree that those stories, if true, are awful and I'm not discrediting them at ALL, just showing that there are 2 sides to every story. I've spent time in Judy's home with her family visiting Rux and meeting his parents prior to bringing him home and I can vouch for the fact that this woman loves her dogs. |

| I have heard about the above mentioned breeders and was even FB friends with them. I thought they were way over-priced for dogs that didn't look real. Too good to be true! Pam |
