Lorraine,
I guess I can see where you misinterpreted what Joanne states on her home page regarding the xrays. She was obviously talking about complications with the BIRTH of the puppies and/or mother when she stated that, NOT future complications of the puppies. I even called her to let her know she may want to revise her wording as people were not understanding what she was saying. Finally, I don't think anyone should judge her based on her website/wording. We all make mistakes or typos that can easily be misread. I would take the word of individuals that have actually MET Joanne and/or been to her home and/or purchased any of her puppies. Only THEN can you make a legitimate call on your knowledge/experience of her. I could go on and on about all those posting negatively about her (that have no knowledge of her), but I think I have made it clear enough. All I'm saying is you can not make an ACCURATE judgement call if you don't have ACTUAL experience with this breeder. We shouldn't criticize if we don't have the HANDS ON facts.
And as far as "teacup" yorkies; this is just a name to describe a smaller than usual dog. I don't believe she actually breeds for this size but sometimes it happens. It's like a human mother giving birth to a pre-mature baby; you don't expect it, but it happens and you just have to be much more careful with them as they require a lot more care and attention. And PLEASE don't misinterpret this statement as if I am trying to compare a human baby to a puppy....just using that scenario to explain how any animal OR human born smaller than normal require more care.
Hope everyone has a great day! Let's all try to live in harmony and look for the good in people not bad. God Bless you!
