After emailing back and forth with Jamie Tracy for the last week I told her today that I keep golden retrievers in my home. They are not Pit Bulls or German Shepherds. They are one of the gentlest dogs on the planet. My husband and I have big hearts and spoil them to death. We even adopted our Buddy from a rescue group locally. She would have shipped me a puppy out today if I would have given her money on Friday. There was no questionaire on the website about me or my home and whether or not I had other animals. That was never asked. It seems like she wanted the cold hard cash.
But back to my original reason for typing this, I asked alot of questions about the health and pictures of the Dam and Sire and the puppy she was getting ready to ship me today. I asked her why she was USDA licensed and if she sells to pet stores. I asked about the pedigrees, references, litters and what tests have they been tested for. I stated to her that I wanted to know about the vet and 5 references of people that she sold pups to. She wrote me back that because I have big dogs that she doesn't sell to homes with big dogs. To me it seems like she just didn't want to answer my questions or she didn't have the answers to them at all. She could say whatever she wants but she didn't even send a picture of the mother of the pup that she wanted to sell when I asked last week. She said she would put it on her computer when she has time. I hope that they are not running a puppy mill there. It would break my heart. I was a little leary of the site anyway being that they spelled "Yorkshire" "Yorksire". Oh well, that's her perogative. I am sure we will make wonderful yorkie parents to another pup.
I just wanted to say thank you to all the people who have posted and recommended their breeders on here. I have been researching out yorkies for the past couple of weeks on what to ask and how to go about talking to a breeder. I am now educated and know what to look for.
