I thought about running...lol...until she brought out the dad...who was just as cute as the mom  and the breeder said some dog's hair takes longer to come in and that her hair would reach the ground so I figured that the hair would eventually cover her head and it wouldn't matter. It took a couple of days then it dawned on me when people kept commenting about her looks that I began to wonder if she was pure at all and I had been lied to...my mother in law came in and asked what mix she was....that's when I got mad!!!!!!!!!!! If she is pure and just not the greatest no problem, I'll chalk it up to stupidity on my part but then again the breeder is pretty dumb because my limit was $2,000 so she could have made more money and had a very happy customer....anyway, if she's not pure than pretty much everything the breeder said was crap. After I got the comment about what mix she was and then my husband's secretary saying they look like different breeds....stuff went thru my head like the aunt part...Ksena was payment for the breeders stud her aunt used and every time I asked to talk to the aunt I was redirected like she didn't want me to talk to the aunt or maybe the aunt didn't exist....it took her 3 days to find her aunt in the very beginning??????? She claimed because it was nice outside, weird yep...could be true but strange. I started to think that the pup was brokered....maybe not....it's just I never in my wildest dreams imagined this.....I thought a Yorkie looked like a Yorkie...I didn't realize a Yorkie could look like another breed????????????? Weird....
Oh, I didn't see my French Mastiff's parents in person only by photos because she was shipped to me....different thing all together...and believe me she was worth every penny plus more...The breeder grilled me for weeks by phone before she'd let me have her...she was the most beautiful dog I'd ever seen! |
Have you checked the Better Business Bureau to see if there are any complaints against her? Googled her name to see if you find something?
You sure found out the hard way that all Yorkies are not created equal. The YTCA sets out the blueprint that responsible breeder's should follow to make sure Yorkies continue to look like Yorkies. Because Yorkies have become so popular and therefore profitable, they have become a favorite of greeders who care nothing about the breed standard. Or naive owners who mistakenly believe that putting any two Yorkies together will result in puppies that look like Yorkies are supposed to. It takes a lot of time and money to produce beautiful Yorkies.
