Here you and everyone was warned that Susan is a broker and sells all sorts of breeds.
You defended her. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...r-nj-pa-2.html
Post 19......Post 24 Here in Sept. of 2010 you continue to defend her.
There are threads over and over on YT about top knotch, colorsilk and tanglewood where people warn you.
You knew full well who you were dealing with. This is sad, so sad.
You have come on here and defended these horrible breeders for 3 years. I just don't understand with all the posting and knowledge you have, yet why would you ignore all the warnings about these breeders that you got. Home

Breezeway. Tia came second hand to me. I did not buy her from Susan. I got her from someone that bought her from Susan then rehomed her. In 2007 I did warn people that Susan was a broker, but through the years developed a friendship with her and although didn't agree with her AT THE TIME that she brokered did respect her for at the least providing me with info. on Tia that the previous owner did not supply.
The past I guess year or two she said she does not broker anymore. She talked to me about the breeding program she developed in which she places pups with families and then breeds them at the right age. She said she breeds them three times then has them spayed and the pups are the families to keep after that. She said that it is a nice program because then the dogs do not live in kennels. I thought it was a great program. And, yes I defended her on several occassions after that.
I have rescues and decided that I would like a Yorkie that would be small, and have that show type of look that so many on here have. Through conversation last year, Susan sent me a picture of Brooklyn, called Kissie then. I fell in love with her. She was what they called a Stud Fee pup. We took her and I had some issues yes, but nothing major. She had a cough and I was told that it was from the kennel cough vaccine. Susan told me about the cough upfront and that it would linger. I took Brooke to the vet and the vet put her on an antibiotic as he was not too sure that he believed it came from the vaccine. Since, that time we have had no issues with Brooke. I was hesitant to get another from her yes, and so I contacted Glenda direct as I really liked her and since I had contacted several breeders including the show breeder reccomended by YTCA. I didn't see anything that made that breeder any better, especially when they wanted to sell me a pup with an open font. I decided to see if I could deal one on one with Glenda since her site said SHE not Susan transports to NJ every four to six weeks.
I got a picture of Mia, and fell in love with her. She looked so much like Brooke. THEN she said that Susan had dibs on them. Well, honestly I felt that at least I would be able to see her first rather then buy her and then maybe have her arrive and not be what I was expecting. Very hard to buy a dog without seeing her first.
When Mia came to NJ I was told she had a cough and Susan said she was holding her for a bit. I have emails to this fact. At one point I said to her that I was going to wait until tax return to buy her as I didn't have all the cash due to a car repair. We were going to wait and keep looking to be honest, but I couldn't stop thinking about her. We went back and forth with Susan and on 12/28 we went to see Mia. She wanted $2000 for her and I brought $1800 cash with me, and decided that if it was meant to be it would. I offered her the $1800 cash and she accepted. We were only with Mia about 20 minutes or so and I heard no cough and Susan said the cough was clear but she was keeping her on Clavamox for a week in case. Driving home we realized there was something wrong and took her straight to the vet.
I was wrong for buying her and Ive admitted that. I did not buy three from her. I bought Brooklyn and Mia. Tia was not bought from Susan, but did originate from her. She came from Brazil and no I did not believe Susan when she said that it wasn't a mill and still don't but did think she cleaned her act up by developing her own breeding program and so I gave her credit for that.
I am not looking to fight about this or crying about getting a sick pup. I am posting so that others can learn from it and so that people are warned. You can judge me, I deserve it but please don't take away from the fact that the pup is sick and others need to see this and know the facts about who these people are.
