along with being the ONLY State of Tennessee Licensed Kennel in this
entire area of Tennessee. Yes we have a retail store at the market,
yes the Yorkshire Terriers on display were my personal pets, whom have
not and will not breed. My kennel has never once in 19 years of inspections
had a single fault finding, not one in 19 years. We have never sold to pet
stores or wholesale, we also have NEVER, NEVER sold any of our pups with
full registration, all our pups are sold on a spay/neut. contract. We also do not let any Yorkie go home before 12 weeks of age, ever... We are
members of several breed clubs, support our state and local shelters,
we do show our Yorkshire Terriers in AKC events. The Lady on the"sofa"
is a personal friend of mine and has helped with our kennel for MANY
years, she is a kind and gentle person who has given of her time and
money to MANY Yorkshire Terriers and charitable events. You make it
sound as if because she was sitting on a sofa that a crime was in action!
As you stated our shop was away from all other puppys or as you stated
"puppy mills" there is a reason we are far away from them because we
are Graysons Kennels and we have a wonderful reputation. We keep our
kennel and our store spotless. We only sell to individuals and we screen
them well, more often than not, we refuse to sell our Graysons Yorkies
to anyone whom we feel is not the right match for our little ones. So
before you choose to BASH someone on here do your homework. That is
why no one replied when you put out your negative statements. Buy the
way we do agree with your statements about the market, that is why we
no longer have a store there. We are only showing puppies at our office
at the kennel. Have a great day, Steven Graysons Kennels Owner

You have to understand that being at a fleamarket, what people are gonna think about your kennel? I personally would never buy from someone that sold puppies at a fleamarket! Im glad to hear you are a reputable breeder, because most at those places are not. It is good you dont have a booth there anymore because it doesnt look good. JMO
