There must be some way to put words out to warn people who don't know how to differentiate btw good & bad breeder like I was.
I read stories about yorkie moms who lost their babies because of person like jeff, I couldn't help but cry  So many heartaches... |
You were doing what your thought was good, you had heard he was a good breeder and went on referrals. Try not to feel badly, but now that you do know you can tell anyone and everyone you know to steer clear of Jeff Dane and his Brother (can't think of his name). You have your puppy now, there isn't anything that you can do to change it so its time to enjoy and just do everything possible to take the best care possible. I really think that it is rare to find people on here that didn't make the mistake of not knowing what a good breeder meant, and what to look for before they found this site. I know that I didn't, and I made the mistake 2x! Will never make it again though.
As far as whether your pup might be a mix, I suppose it's possible that the papers were filled incorrectly, CKC isn't known for making sure things are on the up and up. But, even so it is still your new baby and if you have bonded already it doesn't matter if his hair won't grow as long or if he doesn't look like you expected, you'll love him just the same. I hope that everything goes well for you healthwise with him.
Now that you do have your yorkie though, soon you will want another and you will know what to look for. There are some reputable breeders in NY, their prices might be higher but the pups are worth it.
When I was first looking for a yorkie, I found some on yorkiepup.com I called him, questioned him about the differences in prices. He basically said that the ugly ones sell cheaper then the pretty ones, and the smallest ones for even more. I didn't like the way he classified them so I didn't go any further then those questions. And then I read posts on here about him and he is just a bad bad puppy miller. He also puts his used up breeders on his page as "rescues" as is sales, they look horrible and so sad.
