Hello! My name is Lexy and I belong to my mommy Teresa. We have created this page together to support all animal lovers out there because I have a genetic disorder that I was born with, it's called Collapsed Trachea (CT). I have a wonderful family who loves me dearly and spoils me like us Yorkie's love to be spoiled! Some people think because I am so small that I am a tea cup, I laugh because there is no such this as a tea cup yorkie...teacups are cups you drink tea out of! hehe The lady whom my mommy adopted me from her name is Connie Fahey from Clyde, Kansas and her website is
Connies Puppie’s she has over 8 breeds and is also inbreeding many of us puppies and not really caring for us before we are sent home. On the day I arrived by plane in Texas I was sooo happy to finally have a new home with a pretty pink bed, lots of toys and a colorful sweater to keep me warm when I went outside but I had a bad cough. Mommy took me to the Vet the next day for a check up and to see if I had a cold. The vet put me on antibiotics because my cough was raspy and after a few days of not helping much my mommy took me back to the Vet and she did x-rays and that's when she found out I had CT. She contacted my breeder and she seemed to not care much and not believe my mommy or the Vet that I was really sick with this hereditary disorder. I have already developed fluid in my lungs twice which is something I can easily get because of this and now I have to be on a special medication for the rest of my life to ease my coughing noise that I make everyday. The problem with that is I am only 2 lbs and they don't make this medicine for my size, so it is having to be specially made just for my pretty self, I was told I would be 5-6 lbs but that wasn't true and because of my disorder I can't have any type of surgery...putting a breathing tube down my throat while on anesthesia will kill me. So hopefully I will be ok the rest of my life and not ever need surgery. When mommy told the breeder all of this she didn't believe her and says this is why she doesn't have a Vet, how someone can breed so many dogs and not have a Vet is beyond me! Mommy has made lots of Yorkie owner friends on internet groups from all over the US and learned a lot of information on my breed and the red flags when it comes to finding a special dog like me from a breeder, a lot of people out there just use us to make money. When mommy asked for pictures of my parents she never received them and that is a big sign that she may have a puppy mill of some sort. So mommy is determined to find out all of this for sure and has shown several people in these groups all of the emails to and from the breeder. We are doing research to see what we can do about this to have her investigated. Mommy found me on puppyfind.com and discovered that all the breeds she has posted are all posed in the same doggy bed in all the pictures which tells mommy that my brothers and sisters, my parents and the other animals there along with myself my have lived or are living in cages all day long. The breeder told mommy 3 Yorkies have died in the last 5 years after they went to their forever homes, so she replaced them, who's to say how many new owners never told her their pup died. That is not a good thing at all to hear which means obviously something is wrong with this lady...we need to put a stop to her. She thinks mommy is crazy and doesn't know what she is talking about. Mommy left a review on the site she found her on stating all the problems I have been having and the breeder reported it as lies so the site would remove it, so mommy is getting all supporting documentation to keep the review posted for the site. This is a war mommy is going to fight to the end!
Update: She has just been reported to Humane Society of the United States and have several other agencies I still need to report her to.
