I am now 100% sure I made the right call in deciding not to purchase a pup from her... Apparently the breeder was not happy with me asking too many questions and apparently contacting one of her FB friends who stated publicly that they had long-time babies from her (I friended them and they accepted so I thought it was f) without her "permission". One of them didn't have a problem with it and was 100% fine with it, but I guess the other one did not and decided to contact her. The one that was not fine with it did not give me any indication that she was not comfortable with the situation and decided to contact her (the breeder) instead of me about the situation. I contacted the few people that I asked questions to and formally apologized and they all said that it was fine and that I needed to ask those questions and that they understood me asking them.
The next thing that happens is that the breeder posts publicly on her Facebook page accusing me of being rude and judgmental and telling everyone to block me. This was before she contacted me so she was assuming all of these things. She then confronts me via FB Messages about the situation, calling me rude and judgmental, etc., so I went ahead and copy pasted all the conversations that I had with with the references that she gave me. I also told her my doubts about her and the red flags that I saw and she continued to defend herself multiple times with "not-so-great comebacks". It got tiring so I blocked both her and her FB page.
Needless to say she was not very professional. I am not including her name in here to avoid any future lawsuits in case she stumbles upon this thread so she will remain "Anonymous" but this is the first time I have encountered such a disappointing and unprofessional breeder of this caliber.
Thank you for taking the time to read this short little rant. I think I'll stick with breeders highly recommended by YTers or YTCA yorkie breeders from now on. I need to take a break from the computer and simmer for a little while. :/ |
