I am one of the veterinarians for Susan Morgan and her daughter, Shannon - who, by the way, was brought into this argument needlessly. She had nothing to do with Susan selling the puppy, nor JrsyGal purchasing it.
I have known Susan for 5 years, and have been examining her puppies during that time. I started seeing them in the office, then started to see them at her house so she wouldn't have to bring healthy puppies into an environment where they could pick up an illness. At this time she and Shannon had one business, Top Knotch Pups. Within the last year, they have two separate businesses, Colorsilk Yorkies and Mixed-up Pups.
They were, and still are, kept in a very clean and healthy environment. Sick puppies are isolated and treated under the supervision of a veterinarian, either myself or another dr. I have gotten many late night calls from Susan as to what to do with a sick/injured puppy. I would advise her whether it was an emergency or medications should be given. Susan takes meticulous care of her dogs and puppies. We should all be so lucky to be a dog cared for by Susan.
I examined the puppy that was purchased by JrsyGal and it was healthy when I saw it. I do not know how many days later JrsyGal purchased the dog, but the dog was not showing any signs when it was sold. Susan DOES NOT sell sick puppies. I have had to tell her many times that a puppy has a heart murmur or subluxating patella or other issues. When the dog has a congenital problem that cannot be easily fixed, she would place the puppy in an INFORMED househould for free.
Susan does sell puppies for Glenda as Glenda lives in an area that does not have a lot of people, and Susan can find home for them easily. I have examined many of these puppies as well, and if they are unfit with something not easily treatable, they go back to Glenda.
Again, Susan does not sell sick puppies. It just does not make for good business or financial sense. She knows the law in NJ and it would be financial suicide to sell something sick.
So JrsyGal shows a video of her sick puppy, forgetting to mention that it is 10 DAYS postpurchase. She had immediately taken what she thought was a sick dog (due to head-shaking, which is not a common symptom of an upper respioratoryt infection) to a vet - NOT HER REGULAR VET she reports, but continues to call him "HER VET." He/She says the animal has a URI, but then proceeds to vaccinate it !!!! This is where things go wrong. No decent vet vaccinates a sick dog, plain and simple. Plus putting a puppy on a table where other animals, possibly sick ones, can maybe cause them to pick up an infection. Again, the dr should never have vaccinated this puppy - He/She is totally responsible for the illness that shows up 10 days later on video. If the puppy were that sick when purchased, why don't we have a video of her then? Why didn't she take the puppy back immediately? It's total BS that she was afraid of what would happen to it if she took it back. If it was sick still, what is she doing taking it the MALL to have its picture taken?
This is supposed to be a site where people can talk Yorkies, and I have found it to be a breeder bashing site. Where do you guys think Yorkies come from? They come from breeders. While Susan doesn't show her dogs, they come from show stock. Her sire is a champion and is of very good quality. Susan breeds her dogs to help keep quality in the breed.
I HIGHLY recommend Susan and ColorSilk Yorkies as a place to get a great quality, home-raised, excellent temperament puppy. |
