I adopted my 2 yorkies almost 5 years ago, but I had never received any paperwork when I got them until last mth - I finally got their AKC registrations from the gal (one of my daughter's dance teachers) who rehomed them to me when they were not even 1 1/2 yrs old.
I had been asking for the paperwork for quite some time, but she had it packed away. Of course I had been wonder if they came from YT breeders. When she gave me the papers in December - which did not include her contracts with the breeders - she told me for the first time that she was supposed to have talked with the breeders before rehoming
- I couldn't figure out why she hadn't done this.
I mean I'm thrilled to have these 2 - they lite my world everyday & are spoiled to death. I was going to bring up this question to you breeders last mth - but I got busy as it was near Christmas & then forgot about it.
But with the thread started yesterday by Mom2BabyNatalie getting a pup that someone is trying to rehome from one of PrestigeousYT - Deana's nursery I thought I really wanted to know how you would handle this situation & what you would think if someone rehomed a dog from you without addressing your clause in your contract to be contacted first??
As soon as I got the paperwork for my 2, I started searching for info on both Bubba & Roxy's breeders - wondering if they are YT members - but I was scared if I found them, they would be very upset that the contract wasn't honored.
Their original owner had Roxy's pedigree, but has lost/misplaced Bubba's. But I searched for Bubba's breeder - Anne Wiley listed on the AKC registration - and found her website - Hylan Acres (

**Side question - do any of you know her?? What do you think of her lines? I thought she had beautiful dogs & might consider a pup from her in the future - what do you think?**
Anne & I have exchanged emails that first night. She has beautiful babies & she said Bubba looks a lot like his sire - who is also pictured on her website. She seemed to remember exactly who I got Bubba from - even they never met in person as Bubba was shipped here from Texas. Anne was extremely nice to me & said she was so glad Bubba had found a good home with me.
I'm still trying to find Roxy's breeder - so I'm again concerned about her being upset about the rehoming; but I guess my concern about this issue is second to finding the actually breeder.
How upset would you be to find out your contract wasn't honored?
** another side question - Still trying to find Roxy's breeder - can you help? This is what I know: The breeder's name is Fonda A. Bennett. The sire is Bostron’s Tiny Peewee and the dam is Bennett’s Frisky Frolic. Roxy’s sire comes from a long line with the Bostron’s kennel name, and I did find that Missouri kennel online. Roxy’s pedigree also includes Hauser’s Terrific Tigre – who when I googled that name, found linked to numerous kennels as a sire – but I have no idea who his owner is/was. Anyone recognize any of these names? I know when Roxy's original owner found the yorkies, she did so thru the Internet.
