Anne, this is a good post. I was appalled when you first posted that someone was selling puppies at a garage sale. What do people usually sell at yard and garage sales? Things they don't care for and no longer want. poor babies. This is as bad as those breeders that sell at flea markets and in the Walmart parking lots. Thank you for exposing this person. And calling it a "business'. When I start calling my breeding a business, I will quit.

That was my thought too. :confused:

Well said Anne. Once again... :)

There is NO EXCUSES for selling 7-8 weeks old puppies outside in the cold!!!

I feel very bad for her dogs!

I would of course say a baby yorkie was cute.. we all would.. is she ethical, NO!!!!, and I would not buy a yorkie from a person who sells them at a garage sale.. sorry but this is just not what a good breeder would do..for people that have bought in a pet store feels this way is no better...Catch a person seeing a yorkie in a cage with a cute face.. and they act on impulse.
New to the area get your name out there to the vet clinic's.. or do not have babies until you are better established.. sorry that you thought I was wanting to buy one.. I do not recall this part.. although I do believe I said I had just gotten a new boy...:confused: I would buy all the yorkies in this world that were being sold in this fashion or from puppy mill people but it is just not something one person can or could do on their own.. would I have liked to have scooped those babies up and take them home.. of course I would have... any one of us would have... anne

Laura Streky & my perfect pup!
 

i am a current customer of ms.streky (shalachiuahuas). She went above and beyond with helping and answering any questions or concerns that i've had with my pup. As for the pup she sold me over a year ago, well, he's cuddled up in my lap as content as can be with a clean bill of health! i will definitely be a longtime customer of hers for as long as she continues her business, and i highly reccommend ms.strecky for your future breeder!:thumbup:

This is nice to see this breeders friends all campaigne for her as a breeder.. and I truly hope this thread has made her rethink her breeding program as to how she sells her puppies..that is nice that you all came forward on request from this breeder.. but again this is about selling puppies at a yard sale.. not a personal attack... I am thinking you all should stick around this forum and you all might learn how people have been badly taken with so called breeders selling puppies as a business and not to better themselves as a breeder.. I am sure you will all learn a lot and might help you all understand why we feel as I do..For when you all have one or two posts since joining and your main purpose is to do this for a friend that is all well and good.. but please do read and learn more about breeders and buying a puppy.. In fact maybe a good idea would be for you all to help her sell her babies to other friends and family so she does not have to take them in the cold at a yard sale at anothers persons house.. I am sure she would get lots of exposure in this way with all her friends coming on here posting on her behalf.. it would be a perfect idea for you to tell buddies, family, friends.. and she would have a line up waiting for her puppies..

It's funny how her supporters all come out just today. If you are for real, I would love for you to post pics of your yorkie babies and perhaps an introduction.

I was not commenting on where you live. I was commenting on where Ms. strecky now lives. I don't see what that has to do with where you are from. Maybe you have better ideas on where to advertise, but to say someone is unethical because you don't agree with their advertising is not a fair judgement. I don't understand the need to "Warn others" about another breeder based on seeing her at a garage sale for 5 minutes. I have done business with Ms. strecky for years and have never had a problem. Like the word business or not when you all do your taxes at the end of the year breeders are indeed a small business even if the dogs are part of the family which shalas are. I can call Ms. Strecky day or night with any questions or concerns I have with my dogs so she definitely makes sure the puppies are well taken care of. and obviously you are a drama person if a message warrants you reporting me so I cannot comment on this matter. I did not say anything that was unreasonable.

and all you others commenting on this matter are commenting on something you know nothing about. to feel sorry for puppies because they are outside in a warm bed for a few hours is ridiculous.

My pups
 

I am new to this website yes. but when I heard what people where commenting on Ms. strecky I notified other customers of Ms strecky that I knew and asked them to stand up for a good breeder getting a bad rap. I don't have any yorkies I have chihuahuas from Ms. strecky since Ms. strecky only has 3 female yorkies she does not have many yorkie cutomers to comment on this matter. I attached a pic of 2 of my pups that I bought from Ms. strecky for the person who would like to see them.

Its probably the same person, making new accounts:mad:

Anna, I agree. I just wish more breeders have the same ethics as you do!:thumbup:

Your babies are adorable!:thumbup:


Although, if Ms. Strecky is a good breeder, maybe you should be the one to tell her that having small puppies out side in cages....anytime in the cold ....is a bad idea....and not to sale them at yard sales, if she cares where her babies go after they leave her. It takes more then producing beautiful puppies to be a good breeder. If you want to help her out in saving her reputation, inform her that this isnt want good breeders do.

mine too!! ;)

EEK!:eek: Where did these people pop up from?! Hey...this is YT, a friendly bunch...not ChiTalk. ADMIN...can you do something about this/them?!
