| EVER HEARD OF RUBY T CREEKBAUM inFL Ruby advertised AKC YORKIES for sale so my husband and I went to her home last Sat. She told me on the phone that she was a “kennel” (whatever that means) When we got there she led us to a bedroom at the end of her hall. She said it would be noisy when we go in. OMG, when the bedroom door opened, these dogs went crazy mad, barking and jumping uncontrollably in their own cages. The 12 wk yorikes were in one and THEN, there was a rabbit pen which had (5) 5-6wk pup’s….I was in love We took the 12wk F out to the kitchen area to get a better look at her. She really wasn’t the cuddly, wanting to be held type and when we let her down she wasn’t interested in us too much either. My first question is this, do dogs that are caged like that eventually lead to behavioral issues as adults. I know they are only 12wk old but I have my guard up about WHAT I buy. Ruby said she let them out several times a day and she held each of them individually. The pup didn’t seem to want to be held by me as much as I wanted to hold it. Before we left my mind was made up that I wanted one of her pup in a few weeks. So I called Ruby last night to let her know she said to call her later in the month. I called this morning and asked her last name so I could check w/ AKC. She wouldn’t give it to me and said she doesn’t advertise that and when I told her WHY, she said all I needed to do was call AKC…..OK, well I need to give them something to reference YOU. She got upset and said for me not to call her again and she wouldn’t sell a pup to me!!!! As a breeder’s out there wouldn’t you be impressed with a potential mommy/daddy that cares as much as we do to take the time to research YOU as breeders do us??? Am I wrong here, I’m upset if she thought I offended HER but I want to make sure I’m buying from a legit breeder and I’m paying the price for what she’s TELLING me about her pups?? Is this wrong? PS I guess she isn’t familiar with reverse look up on phone number’s b/c that’s how I got her name, so now it’s out there and this is all I wanted to do??? Any one who know of her please let me know. She lives in Pinellas CO, FL

| wow this doesn't sound good. Did you see any adults there at all? Yes if she were interested intially in selling to you, all info should be provided. Caged dogs like that that are never socialized may potentially be a lifetime problem. If you are still looking for a pup, try the Yorkshire Terrier Club of AMerica breeder referral at Yorkshire Terrier Club of America There are a lot of members in Florida. |

| Yes, she had adults there in their own cages. Like 7 of them. She had 3 generations.. the 12wk litter, the mother and the grandmother, just to name a few. AND, i don't know if any of her dogs were older than 7-8y, I could be wrong there i know mom of the 12wk. litter was 2 or 3yr and the grandmother was a year or so older than her. Thanks for the info you sent, I'll be checking it out. I so want a pup badly, i need one to fill the void my Julz left in our lives. Teresa

Donating YT 10K Club Member | I personally would not purchase a puppy being raised in those conditions. From the sounds of it...none of her animals get much human socialization. And I would much prefer a breeder who welcomes my questions.

| Well I've done research and she is not listed on the AKC site. I have been in contact with a few breeders here in FL. I haven't come across any that have pups ready now or in the next few weeks. I'll keep looking. I'd prefer to go to the home and see the environment, like Ruby's.....I feel bad for those lil pups in those cages, if i could i would buy them all to get them out of there. THEN my husband brought me back to planet, REALITY!!!! HA
