On Peppy's first birthday, I called Claire, the lovely lady from whom I bought Peppy, she was not the breeder, but a lovely lady who bought a Yorkie and found out she had much more than she barganed for and could handle. I was the lucky one who became Peppy's forever mommy. I had promised to call Claire and tell her Peppy's adult weight and in turn she was going to get the weight of Peppy's brother. Anyway......this is the what Claire told me about Peppy's brother.....

The little guy was returned to the breeder because the new owner could not take care of him. Being way too generous, the breeder refunded all of the money. While she was showing the puppy to new prosepctive parents, her phone rang. The breeder walked into the next room was only gone a few minutes and when she returned...... the CROOKS and the PUPPY were gone gone gone. The breeder believes that it was a set up. What a heart break. But now we all have a warning......

NEVER, EVER LEAVE THE ROOM WHEN SHOWING PUPPIES! I guess this is a no-brainer for most folks, but where we live, people tend to be reputable and honest. It is always good to learn from other's mistakes.
