I bought a puppy from Brenda last May. This puppy now has a genetic bone disease called Legge Perthes. My vet and all the specialists I have talked to have confirmed that it is genetic and could have been prevented if the parents were tested for the gene (it can be recessive and puppies can get it even though their parents don't have it). Please look it up for more info.
This disease is very common in Yorkies and causes a lot of pain and suffering to the dogs. Brenda did not even know about the disease and how common it was until I told her about it. She does not get her breeding dogs tested for it. As a breeder, one should know about all diseases common to the breed and make sure they are breeding quality dogs.
She refuses to accept the fact that the disease is genetic. It is VERY SAD!
My dog now needs surgery and the total cost of the surgery and all the medication will be at least $2,500. He is in a lot of pain and is suffering right now. This has been hard on my family and nobody should have to go through what we have gone through.
My puppies dad is the father of Brenda's upcoming litter. I am sure she will continue to breed puppies from the same mom and dad in the future!
Please educate yourself before you buy a puppy from ANY breeder. Do your homework and ask A TON of QUESTIONS!!!!
