Customer of Star Yorkie and Very Happy with Ben and Gina I wanted to contribute my review of Star Yorkie as a person who bought a healthy, bouncing baby pomeranian from them.
I bought my Pomeranian "Otis" from Ben and Gina in 2007. When I went to their home, in the first room was a healthy mama yorkie feeding her puppies that were to be sold by them. They took me out back to their separate nursery where I walked into a very clean environment. They had a separate space for new born dogs they were bottle feeding and another room for dogs ready for adoption in clean little playpens. They had me use purell sanitizer before I picked up any of the dogs.
I walked over to Otis who was in a clean, dry and comfy playpen. He jumped into my arms and he's been my best friend ever since.
He's had no health problems then or since.
Now, I can't confirm his origin from Korea. I was told he came from Gina's mom over there and I was provided KDF Papers.
I can't confirm what the conditions are in Korea with Gina's mom, I can confirm their business is clean and I was sold a happy wonderful dog.
Also, these dogs are super expensive. So if you saw repeated listings of the same dogs it could be due to people putting down a deposit online which removes the dog, but they defaulted on the rest of the payment which relists the dog. Doesn't mean the dog was defective.
I think more homework needs to be done before congressman are called. Alot of this forum's discussion has been based on critique of celebrity mention and pictures of puppies in a hand to make the dog look small.
Look, marketing is a tool.
As far as the people who reported a sick dog with Star, I'm so sorry about your dog. Ben and Gina pay for the first vet visit which you need to do within the first week. Did you do that and have feces and blood test?
I'm grateful for breeders, because I wanted a dog and the first 2 rescues I fostered at home were overwhelming as a new dog owner.
Ben and Gina provided me a mentally/physically sound dog, pee pad trained and ready for this novice mommy. |
