I just felt that you were in the wrong just as much as the breeders.
As many years as you have been on YT , the wealth of knowledge on here and from your previous purchases from them that you, of all people would not have purchased from them and then come on here blame them like it you have no fault in it. Both parties are at fault.
How do we educate people ,when you advise people here on YT on what and what not to do and yet you turn around and do what you advise others not to do. Twice.
I do not know these breeders, she contacted me last night after reading Yorkietalk and informed me about all the shots that were given to Mia, I couldn't believe it, so she sent me the vet statements.
I am in no way defending anyone.
I care about yorkies very deeply and it really bothered me that a long time member, advocate for rescue and advisor on here would seek a yorkie in the manner in which you did and ignore all the warning signs. Then within an hour had all these shots given to Mia knowing it was against your better judgement.
Mia is the one who has suffered because of this.
What I want to come out is that the buyer has to research, check references and be responsible for what you are about to commit to.You are buying what is to become a part of your family.
When a person purchases a yorkie, it not like buying a pair of shoes. It is a lifetime commitment and should be taken very very seriously. |
I agree I was at just as much fault. My fault was doing what I tell others not to do. I did buy Brooklyn from them and I explained this all on here. I have not always defended Susan as you stated. As a matter of fact I said previously I would not reccomend her because you do not know where your pups come from.
Last year I did start to defend her, and I did buy Brooklyn from her because she supposedly started her own breeding program. She sent me info to read about it and I thought it was a good program. For three years I advocated NOT buying from her and she was aware of this. It took three years for her to earn my trust and it was ONLY AFTER she said she had her own breeding program.
As far as Brooklyn is concerned. I had an issue with her coughing like Mia when we got her, HOWEVER she told me upfront about it and she said it was from the kennel cough vaccine. We had no health issues since. And, this is why we went back.
I did research other breeders. I've learned a lot here on YT and did buy with my heart however it's not only the byb that are selling tinies for profit. I contacted several breeders from YTCA and only two of them said they would not sell a tiny to anyone, that they rehome them or keep them. One was willing to sell her tiny for $3,000 with an open font and the other was willing to sell their tiny for $3,500 and NEITHER asked about any experience I had. There are good and bad in all and the best lesson learned is to investigate EVERYONE including your best breeders before buying. Through this I have found when money is involved that it's very hard to find anyone reputable. I know that will cause a stir but it is how I feel.
I have no idea why this breeder would contact you not knowing you, why you and not someone else, but whatever. Really makes no sense unless you know and are friendly with them.
You keep saying I should tell the whole story, but I have emails. Did she supply you with info. other then my vet bills and her say so on what has happened? I don't think so or you would not have come on here so staunchly defending her/them. defending her.
I do not negate I was wrong in buying from them. I said that right along and I knew I'd take heat for it, but let's not take away from the fact they are bad breeders and I hope this is a lesson about buying with your heart and that even someone educated when they have that want will sometimes over look warning signs. I did not have to post this thread. I knew I'd take heat for buying and knowing better, but I did it so that it may be a lesson for someoen else.
