Focus is puppies for sale, and all about how nice her house is and spa day..blah blah...She doesn't mention where the puppies come from. Just where she has them and where they live..that is something that that put's a flag up saying..find out more...call and ask the tough questions..

Can I see the parents?
If she's selling for a friend, ask to talk to the friend..that should't be a problem right? If it is..RUN!

Don't be so taken by the pretty pictures on website..that is such an easy way to take the focus off of the content of the site. And believe me, there are more people than you will imagine that jump on this bandwagon.

Thank you stormy for sharing! SO sorry you had this experience.
Thank you for your support, Rini..exactly how you describe it is how it was.... :mad:

Before I read this thread I noticed that there were no pictures of the parents. Huge huge huge red flag. If you're going to take the time to make a site, you should take the time to photograph the mamas and the papas. Talking about your house doesn't mean JACK to me. All I want to see is where these babies (floppy eared or not) came from !!!!!

My job as a banker, I am analytical (I say Anal) I tend to look at the whole picture and look for a pattern to identify how they compare to others. That gives me generals. Now, Joan brought in another good point..just because they spell everything out on the site doesn't mean diddly!!

Thanks Joan, even I forgot to add that..lolol...must enhance my anal skills..lolol. Sorry for the LAAAAME humor.. I need to go to bed, but I wont!

Yep...I asked on the phone the night before we went to the fabulous estate if the parents of the puppy were available to see. Oh of course I was told...when I got there there were neither Dam nor Sire. :thumbdown

Yeah, go to bed..like I am about to do...lol
Punchy tired it is late here on the East Coast ! ;) Nite Nite

I do resent being attacked because I tried to warn the girl who was considering spending all of her hard earned dollars. My problem had nothing to do with the cost of the puppy.Sigh....nuff said...at least on my side.
are you serious? when did anyone "attack you" okay whatever i am soooooooo done like you say NUFF SAID! nighty night dear.....

O My Goodness I Log Back On And There Is A Book...ok Let Me Read!!

yorkiemom1970 01-27-2006 09:07 PM
If you will refer back in this thread, there was no attack, no debate and no bad mouthing. this is a perfect example of how our threads turn ugly so fast. again i will say that i am sorry that one of our valuable members had a bad experience with this breeder. there are also red flags for me as well as i've read through the site, i didn't see them at first glance, because quite frankly, i skim through things at times because i'm one busy lady... i would never buy a puppy from anyone even suspected of being a broker. thats enough for me. "enuff said"

yorkiemom1970 01-27-2006 09:12 PM
Stormy, i have a question..what drew you to this breeder in the first place and led up to your purchase of the baby? just curious

honeybrown_43 01-27-2006 09:25 PM
O boy didn't know my thread would cause up such a stir. I'm honored...lol

I did contact Denise a couple of weeks ago but I never really had the chance to ask her any questions because once she told me the price I was like HELL TO THE NAW. I really need to know if I will be able to afford a breeders Yorkie even before I start asking questions because if I don't then I'll be waisting my time when they tell me they want $2000 TO START for one when most likely that is the price for the boys. If she would've gave me a lower figure then Yes I would've grilled her with the questions. I am new to this dog buying process but I have done my homework especially on the Yorkie Breed. If she would've told me the parents where not in the home I would've told her no thank you. Learned that from reading Yorkie books plus I do learn alot off here.

I do think I have found a Breeder though. Ms Sylvan's Yorkies..I'm on her waiting list...just waiting and waiting and waiting :D I still like to check out other breeders as well. I'm not buying until May/June though.

oh good for you! she has beautiful babies! :D

we went there too!
 
My husband and I visited here also! When I called I was told that we could see the parents when we came to visit but when we got there there were no adults in sight. I could also hear lots of noises (barking, rustling, etc.) coming from the basement. When I asked she said she babysits all of the yorkies when the owners go out of town. I thought to myself that there must have been a lot of people on vaca that week!!! Anyway, when I called she said that prices started at 1200 but when we got there and started inquiring all of them were at least 2500! I guess my point is that it all just seemed a little like a facade. I hope this is helpful.

I am so happy I found this site!! Really happy I know the real deal about this woman now.

This shows that a nice site is often deceiving.... and the best reference IS someone who has personally dealt with a breeder....This was really interesting that's for sure.

GOOD LUCK getting your yorkie !

Lissie 01-28-2006 11:31 AM
Interesting thread! I hadn't even heard of puppy brokers(other than Pet shops) before coming to YT.

I looked at the site before reading this thread. My thoughts were also...Where are the parents? Info on papers? What size are the parents?

After reading the thread. I would NOT go to that breeder 'broker'.

Everything else aside...her website does not say BREEDS Yorkies, it says RAISES Yorkies.
