Educate yourself about what you are defending or it is you that will look foolish.
When someone looses a pet or friend new or old it is a terrible thing and i wish the best for anyone how has gone through or is going through this.it really is a terrible thing.
I think everyone has the right to review ,but i'm not here to debate that.
However i can say that the puppies starmye raises get help whelping when neccesary,x ray-s,genetic testing, vaccinations, heartworm proventative and are not over bred. How do you know this? Have you seen paid invoices from vets? Have you been there to see the medications and vaccinations administered? How do you know how many litters any of her bitches have had?
93 dogs is alot of puppies! But you may be unaware that ultimate puppies is on 450 acres. How many acres that Ultimate Puppies owns does not matter in the least. What matteres is the size of the building/facility that the animals are kept in and the condition that the structure is in.
i understand that these things are outrageously priced but does that not speak for the owner of this buisness that all these things are provided for each and every puppy? I do not think her puppies are outrageously priced, I want to know how she can afford to keep up with heartworm, flea and tick preventative and vaccinations for 93 breeding dogs and god knows how many puppies. Is she independently wealthy or does she make all of her $ breeding.
Also you stated that i was defending my friend which is not entirely true either.starmye and i are acquaintences through buisness and i just hate to see a hard working family buisness loose customers because of false accusations. I am happy you had a good experience with Starmye, God knows it could have been much worse. She will loose business from people that know what to look for in a good reputable breeder. Sadly she will still be in business for a while to come because most first time dog owners are clueless as to what good breeding involves. Again, I think you should research this topic a little more also.
I'm not trying to imply these accusations are coming from you personaly, i am just trying to make sure that people can read both sides of the story. I am glad that your side of this story is not filled with grief over a sick or dead puppy. A responsibile breeder would take the mother and father that produced sick or geneticly defective offspring out of their breeding program. They would also make sure that both were fixed and were pet only dogs. NO puppy should EVER be sold to a broker, pet store or sold when they are sick, no excuses. And breeding more than one type of dog is a HUGE red flag. |
I hope you stay around here on YT and learn about a few things. I have gained what I consider to be a wealth of knowledge from others on here, breeders, show dog owners and fellow yorkie lovers. We are all here because of a shared love for the Yorkshire Terrier breed and can be quick to take offence at someone that makes a profit off of exploiting the dogs that we care so much for.
