| You see that's exactly what I think due to the fact she did great the first visit which to me is a could indicator that with time and patience she would come around. Like she said she is not a nervous or shy dog and is very playful that alone makes me think that she would adjust. I mean she's still basically a puppy isn't she? |

| i don't "knowingly' sell my puppies to people with children under about twelve years old. Now, this is just the way I do it and my opinion is based on MY OWN, well behaved, used to my dogs, around my dogs, grandchildren who are five and eight. I think you ought to get your money back. i know if she came from Brynstar tho, she is a beauty. |

BANNED! | It is very possible to re-socialize a 10 month old, however there is also a chance you cannot re-socialize her. At this point it seems to me that it might be best to look elsewhere for another puppy since all this re-homing is NOT in the best interest of the dog. As a breeder our first concern should be for the dog and it does look like the concerns the lady has are validated. If I had a dog that was experiencing these behaviors I have to say I'd place the dog in a home without children simply because it is what would be best for the dog. I know you say your already attatched to her but think of it this way: What would happen if you did get the dog and couldn't re-socialize her? Would it be fair for you to get even more attatched to her to only have your heart broken again when you have to place her elsewhere because she cannot be re-socialized?? IMO do whats best for both of you and let the lady place this dog in a home without children, you will both be better off. |

| I just got off the phone with Stephanie the actual breeder and she agrees that she would adjust based on her personality and age. When I talk to the seller i am going to mention this and hopefully she will just send us our girl This has been very stressful for us and I just want it to be over. Thanks for all the replies I really appreciate it. |

| Oh gosh I don't know what to say i am shaking here. I called the seller and told her i contacted the breeder and told her the situation so i could get her opinion. She didn't even want to listen to me she yelled at me and told me I was going behind her back. I told her that she (seller) had asked me to call breeders and get second opinions and that I thought the breeders opinion would be important. She yelled at me and hung up on me. Was it that bad for me to do that, I was just trying to get her opinion. Oh gosh i am crying so much and so shaky, I honestly didn't think I was doing a bad thing. |

| Honestly, something just does not seem right here. I think I would get my deposit back and look for another baby. Just my opinion. Good luck whatever you decide! |

I agree you should never need to feel bad it is you option to contact who ever you want and as a breeder she should understand that. I think somthing is not right, there are so many other yorkies that needs new homes do not get your hart broke. You should go to someone that you would feel comfortable to contact for anything and she does not seem to be. | |

| Wow - what a mess. Sounds like this lady was sold this female for breeding -and now she's selling her behind the breeder's back... which is a BIG NO-NO!! so I'm surprised the actual breeder didn't say something to you. It also sounds like she is trying to make a large profit off of this dog. Unless this female was already Championed and ready to breed --- I can't imagine why she's charging you this amount of money!!! Did this lady ask you if you were planning to breed her or is she going to spay her before she gives her to you? Did the actual breeder ask you if you plan on breeding her? I don't recognize this name but it sounds like Sugar's Mom does so... I did find a listing for a male out of their kennel. Please take note of the purchase price. ALOT less than you're paying. Also, they no longer have a website - or is it that they never did? Some don't - I was just wondering. *I'm sorry to say that I would ask for my deposit back and even go directly to the the original breeder and see what she may have available. I just don't get good vibes from what has already happened with this lady. I don't understand this lady's thinking. Taking the dog to be with the neighbor's children for a couple of hours for couple of times does not socialize a dog. My babies (1 & 2 yrs old) aren't around kids alot - but when they have been they totally love them. I think it would have been best to just let her come to you in the beginning and let your children interact with her. I don't know - it just seems odd. Good Luck with whatever you decide to do. I hope it turns out right for you and your family. Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale: Chsirshowboy

| By the way... I see you live in Texas - there are a bazillion good breeders in Texas!!! You're lucky to be so close to so many! I flew to TX to get my boy. I would have loved to live so close to his breeder and be able to go to see him while he grew up with his littermates. That's the ideal situation. Plus, it would give you and your family a chance to see which baby would fit in with your family the best. Here's another puppy from that kennel. I can't get the website to open on my browser. Maybe someone else can check it out. Yorkshire Terrier Puppies for Sale: Gorgeousboy

| This is the baby. Puppyfind.com I can't begin to explain how devastated I am. She is listed again well she never took her off to begin with. Notice she states no children due to size?? She told me it was due to socialization issues. Just lie after lie. I was going to get her spayed as soon as she turned one. The breeder was upset by her reaction to me calling her and said she should have been the first one called to begin with and I totally agree with her. As she said she knows the pup, the parents, the g-parents and so on and nobody could advise me better than her. I have asked her to send me my deposit back and asked her to also send me the $35 I paid to get it to her, as she is the one backing out not me. Is this fair to ask? the breeder told me to call her when i want a puppy, I told her it will be a while before I am over this as it hurt me way too much. I told her I would give her a bad review and report my story to BBB so other people will know what she did to me. She sent me an e-mail stating she did not appreciate that I threaten to ruin her reputation as a good breeder to which I replied that I told her that I would tell everybody my story and if that ruined her reputation as a good breeder then maybe she did something wrong. I didn't tell her I would ruin her reputation I just told her I would tell my story so she would not hurt anybody like she hurt me. If anybody wants more info. on this feel free to pm me and I will go into further details with you. There is a lot more to this than what I posted. I think the listing was deleted but I am including a pic of the listing just in case. Last edited by Yorkie_Loverz; 09-19-2008 at 04:48 PM. Reason: adding image... |
