In fairness to Stardust Yorkies, She does have a person breeding some of her puppies in Iowa, but she sells them all here. She also breeds in her own home and several of the puppies she has now were bred in her home. I have 2 from Susan, Pixie who was bred in Susan's home and Roxie who was bred in Iowa. Susan is upfront about the puppies born in Iowa as the person in Iowa is on the AKC papers. When I got Dixie from her,who was bred in her home, it turned out she tagically had cingenital kidney failure and passed on at 7 months. Susan felt as bad as I did and would never had sold her if she knew, She "replaced" her for lack of a better word and compensated me as well. My husband calls Pixie his Perfect Pixie and wanted another just like her. Roxie is leggy and Susan told me that but she has a pretty face and a super temperment. She is feisty and a love bug. Pixie is a little more fearful of new experiences but I do not take my dogs out much other than in the yard or for walks in the stroller, but she is the mother dog here who makes sure I know when one of the other dogs needs something. She even won over my grouchy 11 year old pom.I think any breeder who has been breeding for that long is going to have an issue here or there and it is how they respond to it. This is just my opinion and experience. If I had had a bad experience my opinion would be different. So I respect everyones opinion. Keep us posted. |
