carrrreful. I found shea puppy in the paper...The lady lived on a GORGEOUS farm, lots of nice animals...I love my puppy, but she really got one over on me. I should have been smart enough to do my homework, but I really loved shea the second i met her...took her that day. turns out, shea was from missouri(i bought her at a lady's farm in nj) and looked into the information the lady gave me when I got home...she was from a place called " dog gone kennels" this place has been inspected and cited and fined several times for being a puppy mill and not being clean....dont know how the lady ever got shea, when i called her, she wouldn't respond...then I text her with "how did you come to get this puppy...i have looked online and she is from a puppy mill??!! I am so angry. I am so against puppy mills" the only thing she wrote back to me was, " no, no puppy mill" I asked her about 10 times and she WOULD NOT answer my question as to how she came to get shea. She calls me (5 days later!!!!) and says, the puppy was her friends dogs puppy and that her friend got her from that place and didnt know she was from there...like im stupid enough to believe that. The lady is presently running the same ad in the paper as she had before! Suddenly, she has somehow gotten more yorkie puppies??? Amazing isn't it? The lady must buy from puppy mills and then up the prices for people like me who dont do their homework before hand. Don't get me wrong, LOOOOVE Shea, but she was not healthy when I got her...Moral of the story, careful where you find your puppy. It is a big decision and worth the wait. when you search online try looking for breeders that have kennel names in their website...usually means they have quality dogs and they are able to show their dogs. And when you visit the house, make sure you feel good about the environment and ask to see mommy. |
