| Hello, Thank you Sylvan, for remembering Yes, I did get Oliver from Simbas pride kennel. Kurt (the man in the thread posted in Sylvan's comment) purchased a puppy from there as well. My main concern (after reading all the info on YT) is that they MAY be a mill or some sort. They constantly have puppies available, so that's my only concern and I did get Oliver when he was only 7 1/2 weeks old (before I knew better!!!) Luckily, nothing is wrong with Ollie! No heath problems, bone problems, or behavioral problems. He was potty trained (littertrained) at a VERY early age and knows many tricks. One great thing about SPK is that they did not ship Ollie and because I live in the general area (near Sac CA) the breeder drove him to me free of charge. She said she makes many trips to Sac from Nevada. Any other questions or more details, please PM me. Pictures of my baby can be found on the thread Sylvan posted. Thank yoU!!

| I purchased my puppy from Simba's Pride Kennel as well. I received my pup at 8 weeks old. I also have concerns with this being a "puppy mill". The owner owns 15 yorkies. She also started breeding maltese/yorkie mixes. I honestly believe this IS their family income. If you are still interested in this breeder and would like to know my experience please feel free to PM me. |

| Do a google search on Fallon, Nv cancer rates. They have an extremely high rate of pediatric cancer's and such. I personally wouldn't raise ANYthing there. |

| breeder When a breeder likes to deliever pups it is not done as a kindness, as a rule..it is done to keep buyers from coming to them...JMO..there are exceptions of course.. |

| I wouldn't think owning 15 yorkies would make you a mill at all. A mill would have WAY more with cages and cages of dogs. I would more question why they let their puppies go sooo early, why they are breeding mixes and if your not scared away by their answers then perhaps ask if you can pick up your pup to check them out in person

The breeder delivering was another story. We met the breeders at the selected location. When I drove up there was another couple there picking up there puppy. After the couple left I went over to the breeder to pickup my puppy. The breeder had some bad news for me... They accidentally gave my puppy to another couple. I was hysterical! After an hour drive with the breeder following me I ended up getting the correct puppy. The breeders did take off $300 for the mistake. I was absolutely livid with the people who had my puppy. Rather then taking the baby home giving her water and food. They took her to Petsmart! They took an 8 week old puppy that just traveled over 5 hours in a vehicle to Petsmart. I ran into McDonalds and purchased some water, thank GOD I brought Nutri-Cal and her baby blanket along. Maddie is a beautiful healthy yorkie. She's almost all grown up. She's my life and I'm so happy to have the honor to be her momma. I however don't believe I will be purchasing another puppy from this breeder. I've learned a lot here on YT. I know what to look for and questions to ask. | |

| Yes we got a puppy from them. It arrived with Giardia and spent almost two weeks in and out of vet. The vet said it definitley came with Giardia and tape worm. In the beginning the breeder offered to help with bills or replace the puppy if it died --which thankfully he did not. Now they are assuming no responsibility after all is said and done. Unfortunately we are now pursuing legal action. Hopefully this will help save you the grief we have xperienced. Janlar3 |

| Simba's Pride We did get a puppy from them and it arrived listless and sick. Turned out it had Giardia and tape worm. The poor little guy almost died on several occassions. Originally the breeder told us that she would help with bills and give us a new puppy if this one died. We weren't interested in getting another sick puppy but fortunately, $2,200 later our little guy survived. After all her promises now she is not willing to help with bills so we are pursuing legal action. Our hope is to save others from the grief we have been through by avoiding this breeder -- but we love our little Ruger. |
