Yorkies in Ontario, Canada?

[Michelle1958]

In reference to Yasminel's post of 17 Sept./09, my husband and I recently purchased a male Yorkie from Everdear, Jessica Thompson. We had a very pleasant experience with this breeder and absolutely no issues or problems occurred with our puppy. Jessica was extremely friendly, professional and knowledgeable with respect to the Yorkie breed. We brought Yasminel's negative comments to the attention of Jessica Thompson and she gave us her side of the story. She remembers you quite well, Yasminel, and your story lacks quite a lot of information that puts you in a negative light. If you were so poorly treated why in god's name would you take another puppy and like you said in your post, "even if I'm not really in the mood for it anymore". Maybe somebody else would have appreciated a puppy from this breeder. Somebody that was in the mood for it.

Kudos to Everdear and we will ensure that word gets around about this breeder's quality of service.

This forum is meant to share our experience, in order to help those who are in the process of buying a puppy. This is my experience, from my perspective, a 21yr old woman customer of Jessica Thompson from Everdear Perm’ Registred.

My comment from September '09 is indeed lacking a lot of information. 15 lines is certainly not enough to describe the horror I've been put through. Especially that at that time, the purchase was not done; I can say a lot more about it.

Just a quick example: When I went to pick up my puppy (that I was never given a picture or aloud a visit prior to that day), Jessica gave me a choice between a male and a female. Both of them were 4 months old at that time. Jessica kept both of them in the same little crate; they were sleeping one on top of the each other. When I was trying to choose a puppy, I asked her to put them on the floor so I could see how they act. She did not like the idea saying: "You know they will run everywhere, are you the one that will run after them, I am too old to run after them". She finally put only one puppy down, the other one (the female) did not look so good. When I finally chose the male, for about 2 weeks he was very goofy and bumping into things, you could just tell he was not used to walk, poor thing.

This is one little example. If anyone wants more info about my experience, please do not hesitate to contact me at j_tremblay88@hotmail.com.

To answer Michelle's question, I decided to give it another shot to fulfill my long desire of owning a Maltese. As my message from September said, Jessica Thompson refused any reimbursement, 1500$ was already paid in full. 1500$ is a lot of money to walk away hands empty. I had two options in my mind, take a chance and take the other dog or pursue justice procedures.

I am aware that I am young and people might think young people cannot take care of dogs, I think this is what happened with Jessica. I am also aware that she has over 25yrs experience and I doubt she treats everyone as she treated me. I am sure 90% of the people dealing with her have a good experience but I am part of the other 10% and I thought it was my responsibility to speak, because it does matter.

If you live near Ottawa you could try the Furkids yorkies. Any reputable breeder will offer a written health guarantee and ask you to visit the facilites. If you can't visit in person ask for references and follow up on them.

Just want to reaffirm that Everdear is exactly the kind of reputable breeder that you are describing. Jessica Thompson would not let us purchase our puppy until we had the opportunity to visit both the puppy, the parents and her facilities. We had no qualms whatsoever when purchasing our little guy. Health guarantee was immediately provided. Our little guy is now 11 months old and is a happy, healthy and very energetic member of our family. He is loved and cherished.

Kudos to Everdear!!!

800.00 for a puppy that is not registered from the American or Canadian Kennel Club is outrageous! That's over priced by well? Don't buy an unregistered puppy. It doesn't matter what the excuse, there are quality puppies available with low prices.

People should not breed dogs without a good registry.

Adele Bisson! All I wanted a healthy dog with a good temerament that was suitable for city living. Good friends of mine have a lovely little yorkie who has the vigor of a puppy at 11 years of age, so I asked who their breeder was. My puppy absolutely *amazing*. Ok, I'm gushing b/c I love my little Pipa so, so very much, but yes, Adele Bisson!

In canada most of us seriously showing our dogs are actually paid members of the Canadian Kennel Club. To start if you are wanting to buy from a breeder in Canada you can contact the Canadian Kennel Club give the name of the breeder, location, address, phone number and if you have it, kennel name you are considering buying from and ask them if that breeder is a 'member in good standing' with the club. If not ask why not have they ever been reprimanded or their membership terminated or suspended.
The Canadian Kennel Club has this feature that will help you research your breeder before you go any further.

I would strongly caution anyone who is even remotely considering buying a dog from Jessica Thompson of Everdear to run the other way as fast as you can! In 2001, we purchased a dog from her named Risky. She told me Risky was four years old and was being retired from breeding. We purchased Risky and Jessica had the dog delivered to us by her husband. As soon as Risky arrived, she ran in circles, and did that the rest of her life. As soon as she was delivered, the first words out of Jessica's husband's mouth was "She's not kennel crazy!" We had no idea what that meant, but later we discovered that Risky had spent the majority of her life in a kennel.

The promised CKC papers never arrived, and phone calls and emails to Ms. Thompson yielded no results and went completely unanswered. As a result, several months after I got Risky, I contacted the CKC and explained what was going on. They got involved and several months later, after they had issues reaching her as well, they provided me the papers. At that time, it became apparent as to why she wasn't responding or sending me the papers. Risky was not four years old. She was in fact EIGHT YEARS OLD!!! I did some investigating into this breeder and was told by several reputable people in the industry that my dog had been abused and that by taking her, I had essentially rescued her. In addition, I was told that Risky had been bred so much, that she expelled her uterus.

In 2004, three years after we got our precious Risky, she died of what the vet feels was likely a brain aneurysm.

Do not put yourself in my position. If you come across this breeder, keep going.

If you wish further information, do not hesitate to contact me at distraction3345@gmail.com.
