they seem to have alot of puppies. have you asked how she keeps them? thats alot of dogs to keep inside a house . the contract says 2 yr health guarentee though . they sizes of what the pups will grow to be and the prices are all over the place also ,best of luck whatever you decide to do though.

Rare in what way? Coloring? I don't think there is such a thing as rare, same as no such things as teacup, only off color.

I would be a little worried about doing business with them. They just seem to have so many different puppies available. Also, as one poster mentioned, the mom and dad you see could be a pic of any dog, is there anyway she could send you a pic of mom WITH the pups next to her?

Also, why is she selling under two different names? I just found this:http://www.nextdaypets.com/directory...205b-f9b1.aspx
http://www.nextdaypets.com/directory...e378-33d1.aspx (I think she is selling a "parti" as a maltese here.)

On one site she is listed as Deborah selling yorkies, on another she is listed as Karen selling everything under the sun.

Same number and addy. She also lists those puppies all across the country. She seems to have tons and tons available.

Percys_mamma · 03-29-2007, 05:17 AM

Another search just found her working out of two different locations in TX. Is she Deborah/Wanda or Karen? They also work with a different number: 830-634-7642. Google the number on the yorky website, that will start pulling up stuff. It is the same location too, alot of the puppies are shown in the same locations and backrounds.

Sorry to post three replies on this, I just started googling and stuff just kept popping up, I will pm you the rest.

Hmmmm, now that I've read all the way to the end, it's starting to sound like she may be a broker. That's not ALWAYS a horrible thing but definitely CAN be a red flag. I think if I remember right (I looked at the Yorkytown site yesterday), it says she's in Fort Worth. That's about 3-4 hours away from me or else I would be curious enough to go check it out for you. Sorry.... maybe someone else closer can get you more info. I think the above google search is not looking real good though.

I have one litter a year with my Germ. Shep. I have a wait list for these pups before they are even born. Once they are born I start down the list and contact the people to see if they are interested in placing a deposit. From the moment the new owner's make a decision I place a colored paper collar on them. I also send weekly pictures with a sign in the photo with their name/date.
After being ripped off on my puppymill pup I am very leary also. This puppy miller obviously sells 99% of her pups on-line. Thus, she can show any parents, any pup, and in the end ship any pup. The internet has been a blessing and a horrible tragedy all in the same breath.

Percys_mamma...good job investigating! If someone has more than 1 name that's a huge red flag too me!

I totally agree !!!
Why not get a puppy from a breeder who people know and trust? Her prices seem way to high IMO.

Totally agree. While it has made it easy to communicate, it has also opened up many avenues to those that have less scruples than most and will do anything to make a buck.

bornnygurl · 03-29-2007, 10:42 AM

I just noticed she lives in the same city as me. If you want me to check her out for you I can....

TammyJM · 03-29-2007, 11:00 AM

I hope she's not a broker, but I am kind of getting that feeling. Maybe it would be a good idea to have someone go to her home just to take a look at the puppies and the parents.

I know that you are not looking at the parti puppies, but something about her partis gives me a bad feeling...almost like she is selling something that they are not. They almost look to be "splinters". I could be totally wrong, but they sure do have a ton of black and very little tan.

yorkiemommy2b · 03-29-2007, 12:52 PM

Okay...I checked all this out and I called Deborah at 830-634-7642 and this was not Wanda.... Wanda is the lady I am dealing with her number is 817-734-4472. They are not conected in any way. I think you got the two confused!
