Don't be decieved by starmye halpain!!

I beleive it, I breed silky terriers and when I took my girl to a reproduction vet to get a few tests done, the person conducting the test told me that some breeders were breeding silky girls to Yorkie studs so they could get more puppies per breeding, I thought it was crazy, but that is what GREED does to our beloved breeds. and then they are registering the pups as pure breed yorkshire terriers and some others were registered as silky terriers, and the lines have been cross over and over... that is why now the Responsible breeders DO NOT breed unless DNA testing have been done to both, stud and Dam. And maybe you should explained better, but you did say you were planing on breeding a 3-4 pound girl..

And, I'll continue to spend my time trying to save a few dogs lives!

We searched for a suitable female and found a few to choose from. When we called the customer line to select our female, the gentleman said that he knew this particular breeder and would call her to get the specs on the pup. After speaking to her, he said that she recomended another pup instead of the one we selected. We looked over her selection and since we want to breed her at least 1 time, we took her recomendation.
Her description says that her dad's weight - 3-3 1/2 lbs
mom's weight- 5-6 lbs
We were also told that as of the timeof our call, this pup weighes 1lb 13oz and her weight will be around 3-4 lbs.


As stated, we went on her recomendation. She looked at the male that we purchased and selected her for him.
Oh and I failed to mention that my brother is a VET.

You're right about purchasing online - If I ever were going to do that - which I'm not and wouldn't - I'd be researching for a long long time before I handed someone that much money - It sounds like they really scammed you and for that - I do hope you go after them. Dog Switching is common - they show you a cute puppy and ship another.....I'm saying this only because of a MILL I was helping Fox News go after - Inside Edition got involved - ordered a puppy undercover - and were shipped a different puppy with alot of health issues - talk about BUSTED.

ps - the mill was Brushy Creek Kennels in Hockley tx - They had alot of sites and shipped dogs all over the place (I didn't know all this till AFTER I visited)

so I feel for you that you were misled - but it's a good warning to others about who you deal with

She arrived to us on 7/30/2009 at 12:45pm via air. We got our male 7/28/2009. As our puppies began to grow we started seeing a difference between the two. Her snout is much longer than his and she is a much bigger dog, not the 3-4 lbs that we had been told.
While on a cruise this month we met a professional breed judge. When showing her the pictures of our puppies, she told me that she was bigger because she is a Silky. This explained o me the reason the two looked different from each other.
Now comes the kicker...For those of you who want to defend this so called "Breeder"....
We receive a letter from AKC stating.."A parentage verification analysis of AKC DNA Certifications was conducted on a dog in your dog's pedigree/lineage. The DNA results indicate that this dog could not be the offspring of the parents to which it is registered. Because your dog is a direct descendent of a dog in the litter with incorrect parentage, the registration of your dog and its offspring have been put on referal. This means that AKC services will not be provided if the dog's in this litter are bred,sold,or transfered, and awards will not be recorded if these dogs participate in any AKC sanctioned or licensed events."
I have turned this matter over to the brokerage company that I purchased the dog through. As soon as I hear back, I will post again.

Will someone please tell me where I said I want to breed a 3-4 lb dog...I stated that this is what her add said...and what the breeder told the "Broker" for lack of a better term, and what was told to me.
It seems that I am now the villian and not a victim! You people are nuts!!!

Your question "Will someone please tell me where I said I want to breed a 3-4 lb dog"....see in bold above.

"You people are nuts".....???

Had you done the research one needs to do before considering breeding, you would not have found yourself in this position. Buying from a broker....As my grandmother said...you made you bed, now you have to lie in it.

No matter what you wanted to breed~you DO NOT pick a couple of puppies off line, have them shipped to you and then decide that you want to become a breeder

There are members of this board that are long time established and reputable breeders. Do you think they purchased their dogs this way? My god~this is the reason that there are so many poorly bred Yorkies! You knew nothing about either of these puppies so why would you even begin to "think" this was the way to start adding to the dog population?

I agree 100% it breaks my heart for those poor dogs.

yes, that's for sure, when you want to breed you need to know more than putting two dogs together and researching the lines is VERY, VERY important, it took me 4 years to find the right girl to mate my stud to start my line.

yes - It was all because of THIS site and a thread I started - it evolved over a few years and I started hearing from alot of people who had bought dogs from them - I did NOT but did go in person (they were great on the phone and via email) but once there - I was disgusted and my husband and I couldn't get out of there fast enough.....but I did post about it.

A reporter from Fox news ended up joining because of all the people who were sold sick dogs They did 3 segments that aired on the news and the feedback was so huge that Inside Edition picked it up - which clinched it about the bait and switch with online selling of dogs

(this place sold multiple breeds but on DIFFERENT Websites so if you were searching yorkies - only their yorkie site came up) ....

I haven't googled them in a long time - but you can type Brushy Creek right here and see the huge threads about them and the reporters name was David - he was fantastic ! He updated me all the time and posted here for quite a while.....

Well said . . . what surprises me the most is not even knowing what you are getting and just going by another person's word that this puppy was your best match? I'm really confused . . .did you do any research at all when you buy things (not just puppies) or do you just go by what other people say?
