| Natalie Nelson's Yorkies Sadly this is not a happy valentines day for me. My beautiful 2 pound Yorkies Mila is at mass vet hospital after having a life threatening surgery yesterday. She made it thru the operation and now just to wait to see if it works. Mila was born with a birth defect caused by bad breeding. The breeder I bought her from is Natalie Nelson in Watertown South Dakota. She has a fancy website and she talks a good talk but that is all. Mila will be one tomorrow. Her health has been horrible most of the time I have had her. She was unable to walk for several months at a time, she can't play, she has been in a neck cast and on bed rest for months at a time to try to prevent surgery. I have begged and pleaded with Natalie to help me pay for all her treatments and she refuses. I paid $5400.00 to her for my dog and over $7000 in medical bills. I live week to week and I can't begin to tell you how awful it is to have to go thru family and friends to borrow money for all her medical bills. Three vets have told me that Milas condition is hereditary. I'm so frustrated that Natalie thinks she will get away with going on selling sick puppies with heredited health issues. PLEASE contact me before ever buying a dog from her. Also I am not the only person that has had this happen with her. If you also have had an experience like this with her please contact me at my email address lovemuffin123070@aol.com. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Welcome to YT and I'm sorry it's under sad circumstances, but I hope you'll find support here. Very sorry your little girl is so terribly sick, she sounds like she has multiple issues going on. What was the surgery for? I have to ask what warranted a price of $5400 for her...? Even the best Show Breeders don't charge that much, so it's a very curious and unusual price. Is it bc this Natalie advertises "Micros" or "minis" or "teacups" (all of which there is no such thing in yorkies, just marketing terms used by bad breeders looking to inflate prices). Does she have a website?

| Just to make sure I am reading this correctly....you bought the dog from her for $5400.00?? Tell me for that price, you AT LEAST got some kind of health guarantee(edit to add:sorry if this sounds redundant..didn't see wylies post before I wrote mine) Is she one of those people who are selling the "micro, mini, diamond" BS for a boat load of money?? If she is purposely breeding dogs to be small, it's no wonder she's throwing health problems. In any case...I am really sorry that your baby is having health problems. She's one lucky girl to have you as her mamma because she may not have survived this long if you wouldn't have adopted her. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | This looks like her website: Natalie's Yorkies - Yorkies For Sale, Teacup, Parti Yorkies She has a female Dam on there that weighs just over ONE POUND. That is so inappropriate. She does say she doesn't use all of the listed Dams for breeding, so I hope this is the case with these tiny ones. She has FOURTEEN sires. How does one even keep that many unaltered males in one house, ya know?

| Wow, she has 5 litters due in the next 2 weeks. And read this: "4. Under no circumstances will Seller be held responsible for any Veterinary or other expenses for any reason whatsoever after purchase of puppy. 7. When puppy leaves the care of Seller, it becomes the sole responsibility of the Purchaser. No other warranties are expressed or implied." Confirmation on what people here say: "Pick your breeder first."

| So sad. If this is the same person there have been many warnings about buying from Natalie here in years past. Will be praying for your little girl.

YT 2000 Club Member | I am so sorry your little girl is so ill! I live in Iowa and I have heard of her.Teeka's breeder is a neighbor of hers! I have looked at her website and her prices are out of this world! The puppies are adorable. I am so glad we didn't get a puppy from her as I have heard so many bad reviews.....very sick puppies with defects! I will pray that your little girl pulls through! ((Hugs))

| I'm so sorry your little one has been so ill. I hope her surgery is a success and she gets better. I wish her all the best.. If you use the "search" tab on this forum you will see Natalie is no stranger on here. It's such a shame she is breeding yorkies that are way too tiny to be doing so and producing ill pups in the process.

| I am so sorry about your baby. This is a horrible breeder. There have been many complaints made here on this list about her. I pray your baby will be OK. Not sure if she still a member of this list or not,she used to be. It is such a shame that she continues to breed, she certainly is not reputable at all.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | This is so horrible and it's been going on for a long time with thread after thread about her. She's a member here and sold to many other members before word came out about her breeding practices. So many breeders here defended her because they bought their breeding dogs from her. She swears she has special stock and she can breed tinies safely. Here's her member name and you can find many other threads about her. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/member.php?u=2634 It kills me that we have breeders out there like this who are so greedy they don't care what they put people through. I mean just think of all the pain the pup goes through in order to save it, doesn't that bother her at all. Please Natalie quit breeding!

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Quote:
and ALL the best with your little girl - 2 lbs is way too small for me to even fathom and I hope she makes it. This is a good warning for anyone looking - please stay away from those huge prices and people breeding too small on purpose! They are hurting these dogs by even thinking of breeding them. That is PURE GREED on the breeders end - just GREED! | |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Again - I'm so sorry about your dog - I went to her Guest Book and SIGNED IT! Anyone can and I encourage it - there are many complaints there already! Shame on her |
