Loki has a genetic disease called diabetes insipidus and he is on medicine that is $130 a month and he still has problems. I love him. He's super smart. He also has some serious social issues with other dogs because he was taken from mom so early. He did tons of training with me and he is better, but still afraid of his own shadow. I'd never buy another puppy from her. I've gone through his entire story on here (check the Great Lakes section) and I'd rather not go through it again. It's hard to find good breeders in Chicago but they do exist. Good luck. |
I don't know anything about this specific breeder but you saying the best breeders don't advertise like she does is wrong. Apparently you haven't picked up a Yorkshire Terrier magazine. Every top show kennel in the world almost keeps running ads in the classifieds in that mag. Lee Grumswald or whatever her name is, 'THIS TIME kennel in Texas, always has ads. She is just one of many I have seen I see people on here telling how show people won't sell, yet I keep seeing all these ads. HUMMMMMMMMMMMM makes me wonder.
