My second question is about finding a reputable breeder in the Los Angeles area. I have been searching online and have found a couple of breeders; reputable or not is a question that I don't know how to find out if they are. Can someone tell me how to find this out?
And lastly, you have been saying a lot about Star stating their dogs for sale are Teacup of which there is no such thing. This I knew, but while looking for a Yorkie I have found many, many places that say their Yorkies, etc are Teacups. Could it be that it is just considered now a way to say they are a bit smaller?
Thank you for your time. |
I said they LOOK like they have hydrocephalus, I didn't say I KNEW they had it. Take a look at the puppy at 0:07 sec, 0:32 secs, and also the one at 0:40 sec. (notice how they try to hide the whites of the eyes with their watermark, plus the fluffy puppy fur) A symptom of hydro is bulging eyes and you can clearly see the whites of the eyes towards the nose. Accumulation of too much cerebrial fluid causes the soft skull in puppies to bulge out and push out the eyes. To many people this looks "cuter", but they don't know any better.
The fact that they compare a puppy up again a hand, dwarfed by a hand infact, tells me they strive to get this tiny size. Look at the other pup compared with the hand at 0:48 sec, if that is a puppy, there is no way it is a full yorkie, the face is too white. At this age it should be black and tan still. Looks mixed with maltese to me. Don't get me started on breeders who breed mixed breeds. If that is a young adult or full grown, god please help that poor thing.
These people advertise teacup, and multiple breeds. Also boasting about their celebrity clientele. I will say this again. Leonardo DiCaprio is an animal and environmental activist, he would never buy a puppy from people like these. What else are they lying about?
Breeders who advertise teacup, micro, baby face, baby doll, hello kitty face are all trying to scam you out of more money. Just remember this, no breeder would call themselves disreputable, and of course they will be super nice to you before they get your money. It is how they treat you after they get your money that shows what kind of breeder they are.
