I purchased an AKC registered "Yorkie puppy" from PurebredBreeders. com this past July. I purchased a female with hopes of breeding her with the male that I also purchased frm the same site, different owners from different states. We searched for a suitable female and found a few to choose from. When we called the customer line to select our female, the gentleman said that he knew this particular breeder and would call her to get the specs on the pup. After speaking to her, he said that she recomended another pup instead of the one we selected. We looked over her selection and since we want to breed her at least 1 time, we took her recomendation.
Her description says that her dad's weight - 3-3 1/2 lbs
mom's weight- 5-6 lbs
We were also told that as of the timeof our call, this pup weighes 1lb 13oz and her weight will be around 3-4 lbs. This info was given to us on 7/26/2009, the day that we purchased her for $1534.00. She arrived to us on 7/30/2009 at 12:45pm via air. We got our male 7/28/2009. As our puppies began to grow we started seeing a difference between the two. Her snout is much longer than his and she is a much bigger dog, not the 3-4 lbs that we had been told.
While on a cruise this month we met a professional breed judge. When showing her the pictures of our puppies, she told me that she was bigger because she is a Silky. This explained o me the reason the two looked different from each other.
Now comes the kicker...For those of you who want to defend this so called "Breeder"....
We receive a letter from AKC stating.."A parentage verification analysis of AKC DNA Certifications was conducted on a dog in your dog's pedigree/lineage. The DNA results indicate that this dog could not be the offspring of the parents to which it is registered. Because your dog is a direct descendent of a dog in the litter with incorrect parentage, the registration of your dog and its offspring have been put on referal. This means that AKC services will not be provided if the dog's in this litter are bred,sold,or transfered, and awards will not be recorded if these dogs participate in any AKC sanctioned or licensed events."
I have turned this matter over to the brokerage company that I purchased the dog through. As soon as I hear back, I will post again.
