You are asking for an absolute resolution on your terms without providing any proof to the breeder. Mrs. Marksbury has agreed to honor her contract.
The truth... You are defaming on a public forum, a wonderful, caring person with an unrelenting love and devotion to the Yorkshire terrier. I have known Judy for years, been to her home, have had my dogs at her home and her dogs at mine.
She is a very caring breeder who does her best to preserve the integrity of our breed. I know first hand how Judy cares for her babies. I also know her vet, I travel 600 miles just to consult with her, she shows her own breed.
Judy would never knowingly sell a puppy with any issue without full disclosure to the new parents. Shelia, you spent several hours in Judy's home playing with puppies, the eye issue you are stating as fact has symptoms, did you see the puppy display signs that would lead you to believe there was an issue? I would think not as you picked him. Considering your situation, Judy did everything in her power to make you happy including giving you the registration paperwork on a puppy BEFORE proof of spay or neuter, something we never do. Truth... You told Judy your passing will be before the first of the year and you needed the papers so you could update your will....emotional blackmail.
I have read your posts on all of the threads you have started. You are on a mission to defame a wonderful and caring person. You have mentioned several times the clubs she is affiliated with. You do not devote to these clubs and the breed if you do not care.
Judy has agreed to honor her contract. If you do not want to give up your puppy, take the puppy back, let Judy take the puppy for a second opinion and treatment otherwise return the puppy per the contract and select a replacement.
You have not backed up you allegations with any proof... Without proof, what does Judy have to respond to? Defamation is not taken lightly.
On another note, I understand your disease, mine is blood cancer. |

According to Shelia, the breeder has never ask for proof. Why doesn't the breeder call her vet...or have her vet consult with Shelias?? I would think she would have the name of Shelia's vet. I know I've had to provide the name of mine when adopting a dog.
So what happens if/when Sheila provides proof??? Will it change anything?? Will she then refund the money and/or pay for some or all of Max's medical bills without having to return her beloved pup??
Whenever someone comes on here to write a complaint about a breeder, there is always someone else who comes on and says it unfair because their experience was good. She has a right to state what happened with her, just as you have the right to come on and share your experience with her as well. Just because you have had a good experience, it doesn't mean that it's impossible that someone else has had a bad one. It happens all the time.
Genetic defects and health issues can happen to the best of breeders...but how that breeder handles issues like that is what separates a good breeder from a bad one.
I understand that these people signed a contract, but I think it would have been MUCH easier to refund the money and return the pup when they asked for it rather than have her shouting from the rooftops about what her experience was like. I can't blame her either if the puppy is sick.
You are right though...we are only hearing one side of the story. The only other side I've seen and heard from her directly in this thread is that she is willing to exchange Max for another dog...which the OP is not willing to do...So, the stand off continues.
I don't know the breeder...but I hope you are right and that she cares about her pups and her buyers and I hope she will be willing to work with Sheila.
