All YT's Read BabyCakes response!! First off, I really appreciate that you continue to posting on this thread, I want this thread to be as current as possible and continue to be high on the list of posts. I imagine you are Melissa from SweetYorkieKisses or a friend who is making up stories in hopes that "someone" out there will find SweetYorkieKisses as reputable breeder.
Not a chance. Where should I start? Yesterday, I received a call from a local breeder that asked me if I was willing to "trade" my puppy for a dog she wanted to sell. I told her that was out of the question! I was curious as to why a breeder was calling a stranger and making an offer like this.
This woman has been breeding yorkies for years and I remind you (she has a nice website, on google and several other legitiment sites.)
She told me she adopts yorkies from a shelter for a fee then turns around and sells them on sites including yorkie talk-and makes several hundred dollars selling them to a person who see a cute dog at a great price and listens to a fictious history and once again...what a great deal!!
It is so sad. The dog may have been abused and neglected, scared of children or other animals and they will probably end up at another shelter before long.
She is also buying very cute yorkies with (AKC papers) from Mexico. I wonder if the akc paper work is fraudulent....hmmm...i vote yes....would the buyer do their homework and call AKC?
I always remind my buyers just because a dog is registered AKC does not mean that the dog cannot pass down congenital problems, temperment issues....etc
She buys these babies for $ 400 and sells them for $800-$1,000. Great deal eh?? The buyers love the pups face, the kisses and the snuggling...chaa ching...she has a buyer. Chances are this baby will end up sick. No history...no research...it is the fault of the seller and the buyer.
She is breeding some of her own yorkies When questioning her further...she says the father is "ummm at a friends house and he is getting his akc this week." She also sells, biewers, poodles, morkies...too many to list...do you see this on her site....no you don't...if you DON'T do your research you never will.
It is frustrating...to see this happening. She and (many other "so called breeders") are putting these poor yorkies through hell to make a buck to satisfy that rotating door of buyers who don't bother to do some research and are convinced they are getting the deal of a lifetime.
I am NOT the only person who has dealt with SWEETYORKIEKISSES. Are all these people making their experiences up???????????????????
So, YorkieBabyCakes....continue to post....I love it....Keep this thread current so all the buyers out there can contine to read about the unethical breeders such as Melissa and Yourself.
