| Crosswinds kennel fire Manalos Mom asked me to crosspost this from general forum for her so here is her post copied and pasted.: Today while I was working I heard on the radio that 26 Yorkies lost their lives yesterday in a fire. The radio said it was Crosswind Kennels. She was not home at the time but arrived to a fire. Some Yorkies survied but 26 lost their lives. They said the pups prices ranged from 400 to 19,000 dollars. Im so upset about this. Can anyone tell me if they have spoken with Crosswind Kennels in Southmayd Tx. And if they need help at all I can drive up and help....I PM a couple of Breeders that may know her. Please Pray for them. __________________ |

| These were not just "puppies". These were championed show dogs. Most of them anyway and she recently sold one for $40,000. to Japan. but yes, it is very sad. |

YT Addict | This is so sad don't get me wrong, but it just shows that show breeders are in it for the money, as they all say they are not!!! Anyone that sells a dog for $19,000 - $40,000 is in it for the money!! That is just a crazy amount for a Puppy or Champion show dog it the best in the world, to much for me. I am upset about the fire, it is just to sad but the money thing makes me think. Do they know what started the fire in the 1st place????? |

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | I am so sorry to hear this. My heat breaks for her. As far as prices I don't think it is anyone's business. Show breeder have alot of time and money invested in their dogs.
