I do have personal experience with this breeder, as I've mentioned in this thread and in the past. Camden came from Maxine.
She had bred her, the litter didn't make it and she had her spayed and was looking to rehome her.
My experiences and my opinions are that she did not with Camden and from pictures I've seen of others provide proper medical or grooming care.
I would never expect a responsible, caring breeder to neglect and treat a dog the way Camden was treated. I have pictures and vet bills that clearly show and prove how she took care of her, or I should say DIDN'T take care of her.
As relieved as I was that some of the dogs were turned over to rescue and found loving homes, it just further proves in my mind that once her dogs that have made her money are of no use to her, she really doesn't care what happens to them or where they go.
Whether she knew this breeder was mixing breeds or not doesn't make a bit of difference to me. She knew she was a breeder and going to breed very small females. She did no research as to what type of breeder she was before selling her and/or her mother 4 dogs.
I've read breeders on here all the time that turn down people for their puppies because they don't think it's the right fit. If someone who is a breeder wanted four of my dogs, I would make sure it was a breeder that was breeding for the betterment. She didn't do that and that in my opinion shows lack of any concern about what happens to her dogs.
Camden was an abused dog, she was abused because she was sick and didn't get any treatment, she was in pain and didn't get any treatment. She was emotionally abused. She didn't know affection, she didn't have any socialization skills and was one scared and skittish Yorkie.
Her treatment of the dogs in her care and her lack of concern about the placement of her puppies or retired dogs disgusts me. She should have stuck with her original plan and retired from breeding.
I realize this thread was started about another breeder, but I'm glad it's spotlighting both. I hope enough people will read and educate themselves and not buy dogs and/or puppies from either of them.
I get so worked up because it brings me back to the day we got Camden and I cry just thinking about how sick & sad she was.
I could never be a breeder myself, but I wish that all breeders were good, responsible, loved their dogs and treated them as family. If they don't, they shouldn't be breeding and I am all for getting the word out! |
