Heard of poshfairytail?

[La FuFu]

I'm writing you in regards to a comment you had posted about me Ginger Turk. I would first like to state that you need to get your story straight before bashing someone.

First of all, I'm not a breeder. Soojin (Jina) from PoshFairytail was a customer of mine who purchased my pet fashion designs for her yorkies and maltese. I also purchased a puppy from her for modeling for my business and as a pet. I became friends with her over a period of time and due to her not speaking English well, she asked if I would help her with handling some of her calls since some people contacting her regarding her puppies had a hard time understanding her English. Since I have a Poshfairytail puppy and know they are healthy and well socialized, I was more than happy to occasionally help a friend. The only reason my image was added to her website is because she felt as though it would be nice for people who called to see who they were talking with. I didn't realize my helping her would cause such a problem with certain people (breeders).

Second, Alan Turk is my husband and we have a fencing Co. He occasionally would use my classified account for my pet fashion business to advertise for jobs and get bids.This way we didn't have to pay for two different accounts.

Third, "donations to help care for a kid that was abandoned". This is not what the ad I posted said. We had a teenage boy join our family for a while due to being sexually and physically abused. Due to us having a large family ourselves and not being prepared to take in another child I posted an ad asking for items to help him feel more comfortable while living with us. At the time we did not have additional money to go out and buy him everything he needed. Thank goodness there are wonderful people out there that found it in their hearts to help.

So the next time you decide to post negative comments about someone and don't actually know what you are saying, DON'T.

Don't worry, Bama already posted your response.

That's because Bama seems like an honest person like that. Good for Bama! Bama can still make a point, but give the other side of the story. That is very fair of Bama in my opinion.

[DvlshAngel985]

Very true!! It still doesn't excuse importing dogs. :

[Furbaby Friend]

I'm not saying I agree with the person defending... this... yeah... that's all I can call it really "this." I'm at a loss for words. ::shudders::

Bama still being upstanding enough to post a defense reply on someone's request though is pretty classy. It also solidifies that Bama knows she's right because she had no reason to hide the defense reply. She put it right out there in the open.

I recently flew to Seattle to purchase a maltese puppy from Tcup Island. I paid Tcup Island a 2,000 dollar deposit for a puppy which they refused to sell to me. I had the audacity to request current medical records and a verification of her blood lines. All that the young girl brought to my hotel was a 14 ounce, 3 1/2 month old puppy. Oh yes, she did bring about 1 cup of dry food. The instructions were to feed this tiny girl 1 tablespoon twice per day. Could this be why she was so small?


After my insistent requests for proper records, Tcup Island refused to finalize the sale of the little puppy and said that they would return my deposit of 2,000 dollars. This deposit has since bounced due to insufficient funds.

How sad! What happened to the puppy?

[june zeisse]

The last time I checked, which was 2 days ago, the little girl was up for sale again on one of the Tcup Island web sites. Her little trusting face still haunts me. I had watched her video over 200 times (bonding). I pray that someone buys her that will feed her all that her little puppy heart desires.

I know it was hard, but good for you for sticking to your guns and not supporting a "greeder." I give you so much credit for having the strength to do that.

Don't think about it too much, you will only make yourself sick over it. Hang in there!

Ruh, roh! Clear and convincing evidence - research, research, research the breeder! Do you know what happened to this poor puppy?

[yorkietalkjilly]

I've read that dogs that are very quickly bred down to have very short muzzles in just a few generations have terrible dental problems and while I don't know if that is true, it sounds believable. Don't really short muzzles interfere with correct breathing and a functional "dog" nose? You all are right - those dogs look pop-eyed, wall-eyed and hydrocephalic and have anything but that keen-eyed terrier look.

I personally saw one of those very tiny under 2 lb. grown Yorkie ultra "teacup" dogs at one breeders place and it slunk across the floor like a pelt of fur with no legs. It didn't look or move like a dog as its legs seemed dwarfed and the little thing was shaking - terrified. What I could see of its little face as it struggled to get under furniture showed a muzzle about the size of a thimble. It was one of the worst things I've ever seen and I got away from that house as fast as I could. Poor little dog. I only hope somehow it had a good life as God knows it deserved better than that. Oh, and of course, that breeder did not have mom or dad there!!! Next day I was at a show breeder's home in Dallas with lovely kennels, a beautiful mom and dad there in the room, looking at one of her 5 mo. old chunky little pet quality Yorkshire Terrier beauties that strode around like a little athlete, charming me with loads of Yorkie attitude with this lady giving me a Secret Service type interview and I just marveled at the difference in the two worlds. If only people wouldn't buy from those disreputable breeders and brokers, they would have to go out of business. I don't mean to suggest we all need to buy from show breeders or any thing even remotely like that but that is where I found myself that next day and the dichotomy in the pups was striking.

[yorkietalkjilly]

I know how it must hurt to see that little thing for sale again but the only real way to help future little dogs is to put these people out of business. I hope you can heal and find another baby very, very soon from some people that truly love and care about healthy, happy and functional dogs ending up with great and loving homes.

This is one of the problems of breeding just for the pet market. They are breeding dogs that appeal to buyers, without doing any research on whether an attribute is safe and physically sound. Dogs with overly short muzzles do have breathing problems and are more prone to allergies. Tinies under 4 pounds often have such small mouths that their teeth don't fit, and of course, overcrowding causes more problems with teeth. So many breeds are in trouble, because the breed clubs have not protected the standard and the standard was changed to benefit breeders who wanted a more extreme example of the breed, and something that was appealing to pet buyers. Standards should change very slowly, if at all, and only after much research is done, and safety for the trait has been thoroughly tested. In my opinion, safety should always come first. So far, the Yorkshire Terrier is one breed that doesn't have any physical problems due to the written standard, there are at least 5 other breeds, who are in serious trouble because of their standard, and the modifications they've made to it.

[yorkietalkjilly]

I think the Yorkshire Terrier breed standard does create a healthy, beautiful and companionable little dog whose presence fills a room! I'm grateful most YT breeders won't give in to what some people seem to want lately as far as ultra tiny size, large heads, flat faces, big eyes, etc., as from what I have read and heard, it is trying to please the public's latest whim that will start to ruin a breed's health and functionality.
