A couple of months ago, I had a bad experience with someone acting as a breeder that I now know was probably a "broker". When she told me she could "get one" [puppy] with a little time and that she didn't allow visitors to her "kennel" for fear of germs, I figured I'd better run. Then I also ran into a place in N.E. TX that sells "teacups" (I know) for between $1500 to $11,000 to "celebrities" and people can "bid" for them on the net, sight-unseen, for prices less than what you'd pay if you showed up in person. Hhhhmmmmm. If my random experiences are representative, there is a lot of crookedness in this business........ makes me think of the hastles of purchasing from a used car salesman....  Thanks, all. |
I strongly suggest that you continue your search. Coming from Dallas there are some wonderful breeders.....There is a breed club in Dallas/Bluebonnet Yorkshire Terrier Club, Inc. You can obtain their info from the YTCA.org page then go to the regional clubs. Ella Patterson is the Vice-President and Breeder Referral Member. She will lead you to a reputable breeder within the club. By the way Tegamom1, myself and Monolo's Mom are members of the club.
There are too many red flags with Trena's Toys and as I've said I've seen the pups she's produced first hand.....If you are looking for a quality dog....it's just not where I would start.
