Sanjur might breed perfect yorkies, but once in a while things go wrong, maybe its not her fault, maybe it is. The reason that this topic got so heated is that there are a few things about her website and and practices that are kind of red flags. One being her sale prices, and the other, if it is true having so many dogs and keeping them in a barn of sorts. Now I have never been there, so I am not stating fact but if it is at all true, that is TOO many dogs to properly care for at once, not to mention breed them! The cost of flea prevention and heart worm prevention alone is staggering.
There are health guarantees sometimes (should be all the time) when puppies are sold, now I understand that if an injury occurred under the new owners supervision that in no way is the breeder responsible for that, but a breeder should breed to better the yorkshire terrier breed not to turn a profit. I would have hoped that she would want to take her dog back and not sell or give another in return if there was thought to be neglect on the purchasers behalf.
I have learned so much about this breed and its breeders after spending a while here on YT, maybe Sanjur can come on here and learn and share also.
I know that if breeders didn't exist I wouldn't have the two joys of my life and I know Sanjur provides that for a lot of people in no way is that a bad thing, but sometimes a good thing that turns into mass production and "all babies must find homes" isnt good at all. |
Hartygirl........you make some very valid points here, I have highlighted areas that I would like to address. First, I too, have three wonderful little fur balls, and love them to pieces.
I totally understand that THINGS happen, and I know she has set up and in place, agreements with new owners on health issues that occur due to genetic health, however, this may have not come under that that agreement, however, it should of been discussed, only with the breeder, and demands not made and postings not made of accusations. I agree that things get carried away when someone jumps the gun, so to speak.
She sold me puppies that were raised in her home, not in a barn. If her state check-ups are rated number one, why is this an issue with anyone on this topic?
I will leave it up to Sanjur, to vocalize here if she wishes. At this point, I am sure that she will see a lot of negative statements, without facts to back them up.....Thank you for your reply, I most certainly will take your encouragement and view other breeder issues, when I have time to do so on YT, to further educate myself on these issues. Education is valuable.
