Good grief you guys... is all this arguing accomplishing anything? The OP stated something... her experience and opinion. She doesn't need to be attacked for that.

FYI - I would back up her statements in having dealt with a "breeder" who works closely with Sanjur kennel. They trade studs, etc... This one also keeps her dogs (several pairs of breeders) in a pole building. Most of them are debarked and shaved down so much you wouldn't be able to tell what type of hair they have. In this area her operation is definitely called a puppy mill. I have heard that from dog trainers in the area.

One I got is a 12 # Yorkie who was supposed to be 7#. Fine - she wasn't what I was told she would be but I love her and decided not to return her. Another one (I know, I was naive and stupid) was very little, had to have surgery ($1,500 total) and this breeder was rude to me and wouldn't talk to me about it and said it must have happened at my house. The vet disagreed and said it was an inherited condition. On the other back leg she has a grade 3 LP.

I just find it interesting that the two breeders who work closely together seem to have some of the same shady practices.

Why the heck can't people here just share their opinions/experiences without being condemned and having their words twisted? IMO, it's threads like these that send people running from YT. (yes, I know some of them on other sites)

Can't everyone agree to disagree an leave it at that? Now the sheriff is involved? How petty can some people get? Move on and spend some time with your own dogs instead of bashing the OP. Please.

I would love to get another Yorkie but I will not be getting one in this area again. I will look elsewhere.
