i've had an heart breaking terrible experience buying a yorkshire terrier pup from pat coburn of "reville registered" in kentucky. She does not back any of her health guarentee's as posted.i paid 2,250.00 for a champion sired male pup of top show quility.this pup arrived skin and bones. I had 3 different vets examine the pup. They felt the pup was from a puppy mill.i was horrified! They all adressed the fact that the pup had genetically grade #4 patelas. The worse possible joints to have. He will need surgery to have both back knee's replaced. One vet which was a board certified surgeon on knee's. Told me to return this pup for this is not acceptable in any breeds standard of ethics. It would cost over 2 thousand dollars to replace his knee's.i sent this information to the breeder as requested. She will not answer her phone now or return my emails to address these problems.she said all yorkie's have this.....she totally misrepresented herslf to me...... Pat coburn has 21 dogs and puppys listed on puppy find.... A total of 30 thousand dollars adding up all the dogs listed.....buying a puppy from pat has turned into a nightmere for our family! She is a kentucky puppy mill of dogs of genetic problems judging from the pup i recieved.....ron from naples, fl
