Hello
You guys have helped me in the past and I'm hoping that you are able to help me again. I purchased my yorkie in December of 2005 from a supposedly reputable breeder. All her dogs were supposedly AKC certified and blah blah blah....So my dog is now 3 yrs old and all I have had from her is problems. Let me list the problems
1. She has an underbite
2. She is what I learned on here a "red legged" yorkie meaning her hair does not grow
3. She has very long legs and huge ears I call them bat wings. (thought they were cute until I saw what a yorkie is supposed to look like)
4. She was born with a hernia which I found out 2 yrs after having her and had to have it surgically removed which cost me a lot of money.
5. She tore her right ACL which I thought was from a fall but the specialist said she was actually born with weak muscles and a luxating patella. That it would have torn whether she fell or not. I had to have surger on it that cost me 3k
5. Now her left acl is torn which will cost me another 3k.
I love my dog but seriously I can't afford her and I feel like this is not what I purchased. I am waiting to see what happens next. Evidently I purchased a "lemon" Are there any laws or anything against bad breeders? Can I sue this woman for some type of false advertisement or half of all these medical bills. I'm SO frustrated right now I am really considering giving up my dog. There is no way I can shell out another 3k for her. Her ACL will have to remain torn. I have no other options. I only can get rid of her or have her limp for the rest of her life. Neither option is good. But my hands are tied. Are there any ramifications that this bad breeder can face? If so I am seriously trying to sue her. Her webiste is
