The vet said that harley was a preemie and not even close to being away from his mother. My puppy, Noel who is also Harley's sister seems to be in good shape thus far and I would guess is weighing around 2 lbs or better. She eats well and is very active and has not shown any signs of Coccidia. She has an appointment with the same vet tomorrow afternoon. I am going to see if he can tell how old he predicts she really is. Her papers claimed that she was born on October 26, 2007 which would today put her at 8 weeks and one day old. I have had her for 2 weeks now, which would mean that LOIS HANCOCK sold me a 6 week old puppy, ILLEGAL. I will have the vet document this so that I have records and so help me, I will pursue this any possible way I can. I will keep you all posted on what I find out and if anyone has any more suggestions, please advise me. Thank you. [/FONT]

Have you reported her to your Attorney General's Office?

So sorry about harley.. This women has to be stoped

paulapoo · 12-27-2007, 06:20 PM

I actually spoke to this woman on the phone before I got OTis. She is only about 20 minutes from me, and I was looking for a breeder close to my house. We couldn't coordinate a time for me to come see her pups and she was asking more than I was able to pay. I'm so thankful that I didn't get one of her pups. I'll support whatever the members want to do to get her stopped. All of us Indiana members need to join together and see what we can do to shut this lady down!

loisisafraud · 12-27-2007, 06:30 PM

I agree! Any Indiana members with us? We may be able to win our fight united.

I'm so so sorry Brandi to hear about Harley. This just breaks my heart to know that she is STILL breeding!
I'm with you, let me know what I can do to help!

yorkiejoys · 03-11-2009, 05:08 PM

does anyone know if Lori Stover from martinsville is a reputable breeder of yorkies? I would appreciate any info or recommendations on which breeders to visit in Indiana. I am looking for a healthy, cute yorkie!

Her ads have been pulled. Don`t know if she removed them or what. But people like her usally has another plan. Someone down in that area just needs to act like they are interested in a pup an keep checking her out. Maybe take a humane person with u . I know i have a friend that works for our humane society and she said she would go with me on a case i was working on in my area. That way she won`t know they are coming.

Since this thread is a year old, things have probably changed

YorkieOwnerIN · 04-25-2012, 06:33 AM

She has been doing this since at least 2006. My wife and I bought a yorkie pup from this woman a few weeks ago. When we got there we couldn't bare to leave him with this woman, he wasn't exactly what we wanted but who cares. We probably saved his young life, as she said no one else wanted him!!! I won't go into details other than to say we had the exact same experience as EVERYONE else on this thread! I have reported this woman to PETA, SPCA, Morgan county authorities, as well as ALL the local news stations and news papers. It's horrible that she has been at this all this time and nothing has changed...if we all work together perhaps we can end this atrocity!!!

Well I'm sitting here in tears I too bought a baby girl from this lady and like everyone else had the exact same experience. But I hate to tell u she still is in business. Luckily mine is perfectly healthy so far but doubt that she is full blooded which I don't care now that I have fell in love with her. Like the other post I knew she wasn't really what I expected but could not leave her there. which I would have been aware of this before I went there. I think part of the problem is some people just want a yorkie to love and cherish not to show and breed, and some of the cost cannot accommodate these people so we think we are really lucky when we find a deal. It always seems it ends with these stories!!!

Yes so true and the puppies are so tiny and helpless that people want to rescue them from her and it just perpetuates the whole cycle. It is horrible that she has been able to stay in business this long and hurt so many people and dogs through her callousness. I hope your baby girl stays healthy and has a wonderful life with you!

This is such an old thread, but odd to me, because I picked up a foster in Martinsville, IN last month. Martinsville is not a large town at all. I hope to read some of the links...

Old but no less effective. If the foster it is possible it was one of her surrendered puppies. If you search the forum for the name Lois Hancock you will find a second thread about this woman. Or here is the link. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/bre...ml#post3931014 My wife and I got her and her puppy mill shutdown.
