Hi. This post was brought to my attention. So, I have to add my two cents, too.
First, let me start off by saying that Villette is a really sweet person and would never make up lies about anyone.
My husband and I bought a female yorkie six years ago from Betty. Betty wrote on my receipt, "Teacup Yorkie". Well, this 'teacup' yorkie is now 14 pounds. I know breeders can't truly predict the exact adult weight of a yorkie puppy, but most breeders come close and they know what they're breeders are likely to produce if they are repetable. I still have that receipt today.
Gracie has also had many, many problems. As an example, before the age of two, she had two knee surgeries to correct a congenital defect. Any repetitable breeder would not continue breeding breeders who pass bad qualities.
To this day, we are still having to shell out high vet bills due to her bad breeding. As far as what Villette was saying about Betty's dogs being kept outside and shaved down, well, I've been to Betty's house twice and have seen this both times.
Our puppy was also brought home with ear mites and ear infections. Puppies are NOT born with this problem. This problem is born from a lack of care and attention.
As far as fleas go, there is a product called Advantage.
Knowing what I know now about breeders, I wouldn't walk away from Betty's place, I would run.
I'm sorry if this comes across meanly, but it's simply the truth. |
