Okay so maybe I'm dense because it's finals week but I don't see why Bobbi should get a refund or replacement puppy. Does the papers say that the dog is out of Parker and Jonesy. Is the pup of the right age and healthy? The dog holds enough resemblance to Connor that it could be his brother. It has a great ear set and the face is balanced well. The coat is a bit thin but it's puppy coat and often the thinner coats grow into the nicest, thickest silk. What is wrong with this puppy that has her so upset? She paid 250. for shipping and handling so the price of the pup was 2000. That's what she agreed on and what I paid for my show/breeding stock that I have purchased from Mary Lou. Bobbi is brand new and is on her bashing a breeder but other than the fact that the pics aren't identical what is her beef? Pups change every week and look different after they've been groomed, every long time yorkie owner/ breeder knows this. Did Connor look just like he did on the website pic, no. He'd grown and was getting a bit scraggly. Was he still the show potential, healthy pup that I paid for? Yes and I consider him a great blessing. Getting ahold of quality stock when you are just starting out is almost impossible now days. Mary Lou has been very supportive of me with both my showing and breeding and I don't feel she should be judged without getting to have her say. The difficult part about breeding is not the dog end of the biz but the people end. I've been very lucky in my dealings so far but what would I do if I had a customer who wasn't going to be happy no matter what? Especially if they were on the other side of the country? All Mary Lou can do is reassure Bobbi that the dog she received is the one that she advertised and send her the papers. I guess if it can't be resolved she could always take the pup back. It's alot of trauma for the puppy so than who's the victum. I don't know Bobbi but I do know until it's settled she shouldn't be bashing someone on a public forum.
