Anyone heard of "Tina's Tiny Terriers"?

[LunasMomma]

Oh that just makes my heart sick You KNOW that her dogs aren't getting any love or attention, they're just puppy machines to her

So sad

This attitude is very common among breeders who breed as a business, not because they love the breed...they have to breed what is popular so they can sell at a good price...that is why I hate to see Yorkies so popluar as a breed..I wish people disliked them, then none would be in the hands of this type breeder.

I feel the same way...I cringed when I saw they were #2 on the most popular breed list...

I called today for an appt. to come and see her puppies. First, she asked me where I live. I told her, and she said "well, now is a bad time because my husband is out of town until Saturday, and I don't like having people here when he's not home." I told her that's completely understandable, and that I would be glad to make the appt. at HER convenience. She said "well, after that I will be leaving on Sunday for a couple days. I wouldn't have any objection to bringing a couple puppies and meeting you halfway in a public place." I told her I would really rather come there and see all the puppies and their parents, and I said maybe another week would be better. She said "well, you could have a puppy today if we could meet somewhere. And besides, I only have two available right now."

I could see what she was doing. She was finding excuses for me not to come there. I realized I wasn't going to get anywhere. I told her I would get back to her.

Later, when my husband came home from work, I asked him to call her to see what she would say. He called and told her he would like to buy his wife a yorkie puppy for Mother's Day (I wish!), and would it be possible to make an appt. for sometime between now and then to come and see her pups. She asked him where he lived, and he told her. She said "well, I am going to be up your way on Saturday, how about if I meet you somewhere with a few of my pups?" He told her he preferred to come and see her kennels and take a look at the parents. She said "oh, I can bring you pictures of the parents, and I only have four pups available right now."

She went from two to four in just a few hours? This lady is bad news, so I just want people to be aware of her. She doesn't have an address on her business card, it just says "Akron, OH". I was hoping to get to see where she keeps these dogs.

Wow, that's horrible that she's changing her story...poor puppies... I feel horrible for them.

[chattiesmom]

Why don't we ALL call her asking to come and see her pups? Hummmmm I wonder if she would meet ME half way to show me pups -- I live in GA?

Thanks for the update! Hopefully more people catch on, and learn how important it is to see a breeders home! Is Akron, OH a big city? Or can you find her address from her telephone number or name on google? Then maybe you can googleearth it, and see what her property atleast looks like.

I totally believe you but that's all just almost unbelievable..a breeder just outright saying they don't like the breed but breeds for money, admitting they have a lot of dogs, and advertising teacups and puppies all the time. Wow..everything on her business card would make most of us run in the other direction

omg michele.. good thing she did not run into me.. I could have made her think about who she would hand out a card to the next time..

that is just horrible.. she breeds due to demand.. but does not like them holy crap... maybe some on here should check her out that are in this area... and make sure she is not a puppy mill.. crap i hate to hear this.. those poor 38 yorkies.. this will Pi** me off all night now..sorry for the rant...

No, Akron isn't that big, but it would be impossible for me to find it. Nothing comes up for her number on google, and she doesn't have a website that I have found. No website was on her business card.

That's what I was trying to do....to get her address by calling and making an appt. My update is above. My daughter's boyfriend is from Akron, so I am going to ask him if he knows anything about her kennels.

sorry for the rant.. but try to do what you can to find this person.. some one has to know of a yorkie breeder in the area.. and if they do not know or have not heard of her.. then she is a puppy mill.. anne

[MyFairLacy]

Have you googled her name or looked on the USDA breeder list? An address might come up that way

I could call them, but will they check it out just on a suspicious without me ever actually seeing her kennels? I would be happy to try calling them and see what they say. I am like you, I want her dealt with too! That's why I wanted to check her out. I REALLY can't stand animals not being taken care of or used as breeding machines!!!

[Izzy Princess]

I have never heard of her or of her kennel. This is terrible and to think that she is in Ohio.
