Unless you've been publicly and/or privately defamed, than you may not understand why some people have come to YT to defend themselves, including myself speaking my piece in this thread:
http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...ould-i-do.html
I love and take great pride in my dogs and I have worked hard to build my reputation not only as a breeder but as an owner and researcher of colorful yorkies. It's obvious from several replies from friends of my buyer, that she has told more people about the situation, than what I was led to believe by her. If her threat to continue "telling everyone" is true, than I have no option other than to protect myself like the OP of this thread has tried to protect herself by telling her side of the story. It just gets to the point where enough is enough and it's time to put every thing on the table, in plain view, for all to see. This has been mentally and emotionally draining, as well as, an etremely frustrating 14 months for me - the OP has dealt with hers for 5 years.
I've spoken in depth with the OP and have gotten her OK to post here because I think it's important to point out some very strange coincidences between this thread and the thread I started last week. As I read this thread when it began, it was like Deja vu.
Both buyers dogs began having seizures/tremors when the buyers were looking to buy a new dog (third instance with my buyer - 1 dog completely unrelated).
Both buyers would not provide vet reports or the phone numbers to the new owners of dog with seizure/tremor.
Both buyers say that the problem is a hereditary problem but both go on to breed these same "defective" lines or dogs.
Both buyers have similar writing styles, using similar phrases and terms in their posts and emails (but that's a thread in itself).
Both my buyer and the OP's buyer are president and vice president of the
same club.
To get an idea of the intimidating and threatening emails I've received from my buyer, below is one of the last ones. If my buyer says these things to me, I'm sure what she's saying to others is equally bad, in fact I have emails that she wrote to a friend that convey the same type of message. If anyone has heard negative things about me concerning this story, I'd appreciate knowing what was said and by whom, I'm sure the OP would appreciate the same courtesy.
Email dated dated 6/7/10
But it does show me what kind of breeder you are that you keep breeding those dogs without care and don't even care about how pups from Your line are having these. If you had any morals about you you would have refunded some of my money, but then again you are not that good of a person to try to make amends for something you created in the first place. You don't even care about all the heartache you have caused. What you do to take care of a problem is what your reputation is built on.
When you do nothing, pretty soon your reputation is zilch.
I will be telling everyone I talk to about your dogs, I have the videos to back up the line of Pinehaven dogs with tremors. All members of our club get warnings of bad breeders and the proof of them. We have 61 members and word of mouth gets around pretty fast. It doesnt take long for people to find out you don't stand behind your dogs.
No, I wont give the name of the ladies (who bought the pup), but the vets report is hereditary idiopathic head tremors. I am refunding their money. Good luck in selling your problems to someone else.
(note: for those who haven't read my story, my buyer could have received a full refund on her pup, she was offered an exchange puppy and she was offered 1000.00 back if she spayed her dog - she choose none of the above)
I'm not making accusations here, just saying the stories seem so oddly similar. Obviously something seems to have been going on with the pups but for both buyers to not disclose vet reports or other pertinent information that could help solve the mystery, yet still expect the breeders to refund all or a portion of their money, IMHO, is extremely unreasonable and things just don't seem to add up right.
