"Wow, Shelia.shame on you! I am so hurt and upset and disappointed.,.My friends told me about your statements on yorkietalk,as I never get on there. I have offered to give you a replacement puppy that has had a health guarantee done by my vet.I even offered a female as a replacement for a male. That is what my contract states. Again I say to you read the contract! As far as the parasites you said he had,I never saw any vet statement or bill? I will pay for his meds if he had these things. My puppies here did not have any of this!I am a good breeder and a Christian, Do you think so little of me? Do you think I would hurt my dogs? Do you think I would spend hours and hours caring for and showing my dogs And importing exspensive dogs to improve my breeding program ?You are spreading slanderous remarks about me and I am shocked and hurt. I told you I made a mistake with the labeling on a picture that's all I am guilty of. You saw the parents in person, what is wrong with you ?Please return Max and I will give you a health certified puppy asap. I will post on yorkietalk in my defense a statement and a copy of my signed contract with you showing what the return policy is. Why don't you post all of this on Yorkietalk???Please enough is enough.I don't want to make your illness worse so lets stop blaming and being angry. Just have your husband bring him home to me and I will send you the little girl."

My husband and I didn't want the little girl, because she is from the same litter, and we know that genetic health issues often don't show up, for two years.

She never once e-mailed us, and asked us how Maxwell was doing, let alone ask us for the Vet statments or bill.
I have not spread slanderous lies. Everything I have posted here in YT is the truth.

Why on earth would I post that Max has Congenital Lacrimal Gland Aplasia, if he didn't have it?

Why would I post that he had yeast infections and Giardia, if he didn't have those things?

All my husband asked of her when she offered to take Max back, was a refund. He acknowledged that he was aware that her contract stated a replacment puppy. He didn't ask her to reinmburse us for the Vet bills.

If she truly didn't want to cause my MS to progress...I think, she would have had enough compassion to want to take Max back, and take care of him. And have the compassion to take the stress of caring for him, from me.

10) Stud service will be offered only by and to AKC Full Registered, or registered with an AKC approved foreign registry, healthy, mature dogs and bitches, respectively, and only of sound temperament. The dogs and bitches should be free of serious congenital and hereditary defects. Stud service will be refused for any mating which is considered to not be in the best interest of the breed which includes dogs and bitches with Q Registration in their pedigrees, and dogs and bitches of any color, or combination of colors not specified in the standard. Members will not sell dogs of such colors as exotic or rare.

Above are parts of the Code of ethics and Standard of Practice that every YTCA member agrees to abide by.

9) Breeders will provide puppy buyers with written details of feeding, general care, date and types of a minimum of two (2) inoculations, as well as dates of wormings, grooming instructions, etc. and be available to offer future advice as needed.

Bare with me for a moment. I have copied extracts of what I feel is pertinent in this situation from www.ytca.org code of ethics, I have also copied the email response from the breeder in question.

First I believe if you wish a complaint can be made to ytca as she is a breeder member.

I have not found on the cerf database where any of her breeding dogs are listed as to being tested. I can better confirm this if you send to me the Registered names of both parents. Or you can look this up yourself.

If she has not tested either of these two dogs prior to breeding them together she is contravention of one of the codes of ethics.

If either of these two dogs are not AKC registered and or not registered with an acceptable foreign registry, then again she is in contravention of a code of ethics.

If this disease is indeed autosomal dominant (which I still can't verify), she is definitely in contravention of a code of ethic. How-ever your opthamologist can confirm the diagnosis.

Secondly it is hard to fathom how she would not notice and her vet would not notice this infection, on your pups last wellness exam prior to releasing him to your care.
So the question what is the date of his last examination on the health record you received from her vet? And can you confirm he has had 2 sets of inoculations.

All dogs sold to future owners should be health cleared first through the breeders vet, and then secondly through your own vet.
