I got my baby Gia yesterday. I paid $700 for her because she had a hernia. No problem, it's fixable. Well, after I started playing with her and giving her a bath last night, I thought it was possible that she might have a roached back. b_veselka is a WONDERFUL PERSON!

Very helpful. She knew the breeder that I got Gia from. I was able to make contact with a very reputable breeder here in my town through b_veselka and took Gia to her.
Yes, she has a roached back. I called the breeder while I was at Paula's house and told her what I found and that I wanted to bring her back. The breeder refused to take her back! She started arguing with me and I told her fine, I'll just turn her in as a breeder that sells dogs that aren't worth a da**. Mind you, I was very upset at this point. All yorkies are precious but I was planning on breeding Gia and I don't want to now because of her back.
The breeder called me back and said that there was nothing wrong with her. I reminded her that I had noticed that not only does she have a roached back (strike #1), but she also has a slight underbite (strike #2) and her hernia (strike #3). I have not even had this dog 24 hours.
The breeder's name is
KATHARINE ENDRESS She lives in
ODEM TX Do not buy from this lady. She even lied to me about the mother's size!!
