What do you think that means when she said "give the dog back"? I am not giving the dog back and not giving up on this pup. Very aggressive woman and in no way am I giving the dog back. Nor did that idea ever cross my mind.
I find it terrible that she is respected in the yorkie world. She is even a YTCA recommended breeder.  I was referred to her by someone and about 5 people in my neighborhood have a dog from her.
I'm going to post a thread about the puppy selection and what happened. Can you all post your thoughts on it?
The good news is that Farrah is getting her stitches out today and can't wait to run & jump. She is doing wonderfully.  |
Glad Farrah is recovering, and doing well. As so many others have stated, a good breeder stands behind their breeding, and this means so much more than "replacing" the puppy. Who is willing to give a puppy back, and what would the breeder do with it? I believe that all breeders should return the cost of the dog, and still allow you to keep the dog. I mean the breeder should be thrilled you are willing to keep the dog. I've read of this happening here before and the breeder only wanted to replace the puppy, and when someone wrote a review, the negative comments changed the breeders mind, and she did end up paying some part for the surgery, but only when her arm was twisted. So a review is always a good idea, while it may not change the breeders mind, at least others will be informed.
