I have followed your posts from the time you were Yorkie sitting for your friends longing for your own puppy. You really took learning about the breed to your heart and put so much time and effort into making sure you knew how to care for the new puppy and were 100% prepared for the responsibility.
I know you spoke to and visited several breeders before selecting your Sylvan's, you even waited for the parents you fell in love with to breed and have a litter, praying and hoping that litter will include a female. Then when Haruka was born, she was so small that you had to wait a few extra weeks before the breeder felt Haruka was ready to start her life with you.
If I'm not mistaken, your journey took over a year! I was glued to your "Count Down" threads and shead tears of happiness for you and Haruka when the two of you were finally united.
You have posted over and over and over how much you trusted and respected Stacy. That she truly was a wonderful mentor and friend to you. How responsible Stacy is as a breeder. How beautiful and healthy her pups are. I can understand your disappointment and how hurt you must be after all this. It's not just about the AKC papers, it's also about losing a beautiful friendship, loss of faith and feeling betrayed.
Because I know you from your posts, thread and PM's, I know you did all you could to reach Stacy and to get the paperwork in your hands. You really could not have done any more.
As stated on the other posts, we do not have Stacy's side of the story. I do hope this is a HUGE misunderstanding and your friendship will be restored.
It took courage for you to start this thread. I applaud you for your honesty and wanting to help and warn others from falling into a similar situation with any breeder they may choose. Get ALL paperwork before you head out that door with you puppy.
Hugs to you and Haruka! |
