Help.....On Feb. 19, 2014, my beloved Wolfgang died suddenly. He was a small Yorkie, and the love of our lives. He was 9 years old. I was so grief stricken that my hubby suggested I buy another Yorkie...I found a local breeder - Rose Hanson in Sun Valley California. Her website is myittybittyyorkies.com. I got our second Yorkie Axel in April. He was five months old. I paid $1500.00, $500 or more less, because he had allegedly been returned by the previous purchaser who did not have the time to deal with 2 new yorkies.
We discovered within days that he had a skin infection which she said was ringworm. The breeder sent him home with treatment for giardia and I went back to her for ringworm shampoo and ointment. I took him to our vet, had his skin tested and it was not ringworm. The doctor gave me different medication (for a bacterial infection) and it cleared up. The breeder refused to pay for the vet bills, but I am a lawyer and was actually happy my husband wasn't going to force me to duke it out in court. I get tired of people suing people.
I specifically purchased Axel un-neutered, so we can breed him, and my daughter was going to buy a female (for us....and not for a business). I contacted "natalies yorkies" on Rose's website to see if she had a female. In the meantime - I still have not received Axel's AKC papers. I received a text from Rose stating I purchased Axel as a "pet only" - and later a text saying she was waiting for proof he was neutered to send me his papers. Completely false. I am heartbroken because a) I trusted her; and b) I was willing to absorb vet bills she would have been responsible for because I get sick and tired of people being dishonest and having to hail people into court. Today, I was referred to the agency which licenses dog breeders - her name and address were on file and they said she is not registered nor licensed as a breeder. Can this be true? She has a website in California and at least 8 dogs....does this mean Axel cannot get AKC papers? I am hopeful the agency is wrong. My first baby - Wolfgang - came from Ron-Del Kennels in Oregon. Everyone knows they were stand up - and loved loved loved Yorkies. They were true to the breed and integrity. Does anyone know what agency I contact as a consumer? I am hopeful this is all some mix up......if you cannot trust people when buying a Yorkie then what is this world coming too. I am again heartbroken.
