Wonderful Breeder Hendrick's House in Texas Scooby is my first Yorkie and we purchased him from Hendrick's House in Rice, Texas. I had originally called her to ask about one dog even though I was not sure I could afford it. When she found out that we were strapped for cash due to my oldest son's health issues, she worked out a deal with us and my two boys now have their amazing Scooby! She was very careful about picking the perfect dog for us when I described our lifestyle and my children. I have to tell you, Scooby is the perfect baby for us! As I have doen more research on Yorkies, I have discovered that hers are pretty perfect especially if you go by AKC standards. The vet agrees! In fact, he asked for her number to buy one. (not sure if he did). They provided us with a great deal of information about raising Yorkies and how to become properly trained by one. We could never ask for better. Now that we are back on our feet somewhat, we are ready to buy a girl and I will only buy from her. They are great and caring people. |
There is a thread on these people and it's no favorable at all of these breeders....I hope your pup remains healthy for you.... http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/bre...-hendrick.html |
Wow! Thanks for letting me know. It is kind of hard for me to believe considering I have had such a great experience. |

How do you not believe something like that? There is no "believing it or not believing it", it's something that happened to a member here and they were obviously in the wrong for still having pups in a breeding program that possibly have a congenital defect. I hope your pup stays healthy and you have no problems with him. Good luck! |
Let me rephrase. I believe that any breeder can have bad results at times. We have had a great experience with the Hendrick's and they have been very helpful when I had questions. It is not that I don't believe, it is just odd that we had such different experiences. Mine being wonderful, hers being horrible. I am sorry that she has such a sick baby but I have a wonderfully healthy puppy from them. |

I don't know, I'm always wary of any breeder who purposely breeds "tiny teacups." And breeding a 3 1/2 lb momma....:mad::thumbdown |
I agree, I also think if they know their dogs carry a gene for a birth defect then they should not breed that dog anymore. A responsible breeder would spay/nueter and pull them from their breeding program. Buying a healthy pup should not be a gamble. |
I'm sorry but Hendrick House is a TERRIBLE breeder. You need to read past threads by BLEU BOY BARBER...she bought Bleu Boy from that breeder last August and by January she was at Texas A&M University where he was diagnosed with Atlanto-Axial Subluxation, a genetic condition. $10,000 later Bleu Boy is a happy, healthy yorkie...but he constantly has to be monitored for any changes as it could be a problem with his neck. This breeder did not stop breeding the parents...she was advertising the sire of Bleu Boy on her site for sale as a breeding quality dog. Any breeder who advertises teacups in NOT a reputable breeder :thumbdown and this breeder is overcharging for poorly bred puppies in my opinion. I can't help but get VERY worked up over this breeder because I have personally seen the pain and suffering Bleu Boy and his family have been through because of this breeder's thoughtless breeding :mad: And I certainly learned that this breeder did NOT care enough to start her breeding program over...she is still breeding dogs, knowing nothing about their genetic health history :( I just hope your dog grows up to be healthy |

Breeding these dogs is nothing but a business to Janet and Wayne Hendrick...dogs should NEVER be a business :( |
I have tried to ignore the slander by some on this site. I have tried to ignore Vicki's posting and her feble apology for dragging our name through the mud. I think there are those who are quick to judge without taking the time to check out a story to see if there is validity to it. I too, had lengthy conversation and testing with the doctor at Texas A&M who did the surgery on Bleu Boy. She stated that she saw no conclusive evidence that Bleu's AAS was congenital during surgery. Normally a pup with this congenital defect would have these vertebre present without ligiments are non connected ligiments, thus leaving them vunerable to sudden movement. Bleu had all the ligiments, but some were torn. No one can say for sure, but it may have been a terrrible accident. Notwithstanding, I immediately removed the line from breeding, and had lots of testing,x-rays and MRI's. Not one other adult or pup from this line had any indication that they had such a defect. The intereting part is that with all the ugly statements and accusations NOT ONE PERSON has ever come to my home to observe, look at my breeding books,or even call to ask...BUT some of you are still quick to make broad statements of what bad breeders we are- HOW WOULD you know? I take that back...AKC did come and we received 28 out of 28 upon inspection. Please do not be ugly to this nice lady, she was just expressing her opinion, we still have that right. I would just take a step back and concider if YOU have all the facts before you jump to slander someone you have never met, seen their pups, or have any indepth knowledge of their practices, morals, and goals. I will pray for your insite and in spite of it all, I forgive you. |

Anyone can click on this breeder's nursery link and see the puppies they have for sale, see the "tiny toy", "teacup" and "tiny teacup" advertisments and the outrageous prices for pet quality puppies. Then from that nursey page click the link at the very top of the page that says "More puppies for sale" and it will take you to a link showing their "breeder stock" available for purchase. Take a good look at what this breeder considers breeding quality. Take a look at the dams and sires...you'll see 3 and 4lb bitches being bred. Puppies are sold on full registration with no regard to if they end up in the hands of someone who will breed for the wrong reasons...not to mention, that pet quality pups should be spayed/neutered and not bred anyway but that's a whole other story... The OP has already posted a thread asking opinions about using their puppy as a stud...so obviously no spay/neuter contracts or limited registration for these pups being sold (which I already knew before this thread). I just think it's very clear what kind of breeder this is and these are all facts being posted that can be seen on the website for yourself. |
Also, due to confidentiality laws there is no way that Texas A&M would have discussed Bleu Boy's case without Vicki being there as well. They are unable to discuss a patient or their records with anyone but the owners. I know this first hand. |

I can assure you anyone reading this .. Janis Hendrick has not had access to BLEU BOYS SURGEON AND OR HIS RECORDS due to hippa privacy laws. First of all, anyone wishing to see BLEU BOYS discharge from TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY . I encourage you to email me for my phone number . HIS 20 page discharge papers clearly state with 2 legal binding signatures and my own signature validatiing the discharge papers of my BLEU BOYS diagnosis. OCCIPITAL ATLANTO AXIAL SUBLUXATION DUE TO 6 MONTH BIRTH CONGENITAL DEFECT. Thank you to prayers. BLEU BOY IS ONE HEALTHY LITTLE GUY!! PROSPECT BUYERS DO YOUR HOMEWORK!! IF A BREEDER STATES THEY HAVE DONE ALL THESE "TESTS" ESPECIALLY MRIS ON THE MOM AND DAD.. ASK FOR PROOF!!! GET THAT PROOF OF ALL YOUR MEDICAL TESTING SCANNED IN MRS HENDRICK I AND OTHERS WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT :) IT WOULD DEFINITELY VALIDATE YOUR NEW "BREEDING PROGRAM" UPLOADING IMAGES HERE IS NOT HARD AT ALL IF YOU NEED HELP ANYONE CAN HELP YOU JUST ASK;) |

You don't need an inhome assessment to see that the breeder is breeding 3.5 pound girls and that they are mass producing litters.:mad: |
Enough is enough! Vicki, There is a difference between an honest attempt to tell people about a bad experience you have had with a particular breeder and you own PERSONAL vendetta against a family. You have been asked many times to stop making inaccurate statements as if they were fact. Vicki, you and Judy have stepped over the line You have gone form the truth that you have a single pup from a single line that has AAS that (according to the testing I have ) may or MAY NOT be congenital to now you are saying: ALL unrelated lines have congenital defects that have anything to do with our family - because YOU and Judy (whom I have never met , spoken to) say so. You have singled my husband and myself out by NAME over the net in this and other arenas with slanderous personal statements. I turned by cheek once out of respect for your dad, but my feet are planted firmly on the ground and I realize until I take very definite action that you will continue to purposely and viciously hurt for no other reason than you have access to the net. I have proof, but this is not the forum in which it will be presented, but YOU feel free to continue to spout off because I have printed every malicious word, along with you statements about destroying not only my kennel but my family, and you WILL see them again very soon. Collect your proof and try to find answers on how you feel justified for your actions, you will be asked IN PERSON not over the net. There is no HIPPA privacy act for animals, ..A&M have a protocol that is followed, but it is not protected by law., but that issue is not the real issue.. This issue is that the line Bleu came from WAS tested and ALL records were used to rule out congenital defect on any other animal. Also, ALL other lines are independent not related in any way to this line and ARE not and SHOULD not be in question. The comment on YT that you “do not have to do an in home check” to see that lines the breeding is not being done correctly is just stupid., much like going to the sick and ill forum of YT and stating that all these people with sick yorkies are abusing their pets. I have bred only one dam under 4 pounds, my GIGI and she was bred twice with my vets full approval and only after a full work up to be sure she could handle pregnancy and the trauma of birth, as all the dams receive prior to any breeding attempt. She is an unusually square built little lady that had no problem with natural delivery (if anyone cares) She is no longer breeding. The sires are 2 ˝ to 3 pounds from many generations similarly small . By the way, not all my pups are “pet quality” as you have stated, I have some champion bloodlines, But all are wonderful representatives of the standard of the yorkie breed. Any male, no matter how remarkable that is over 3 pounds, or come from a larger line over 3 pounds is not considered for a sire in my kennel, but other breeders may find these larger males very good breeding stock. Scooby’s mom, I am very sorry your sweet comment has brought so much ugliness out . Not everyone in YT are ugly, most are loving parents of sweet little yorkies that are just looking for a place to brag about their babies with others that feel the same way. You might want to close this thread and go to general discussion and talk with other yorkie lovers about your respective babies. |
See you in court bring your proof lady and be willing to subpoena your computer as I will "VOLUNTARILY" subpoena mine...I do not talk to anyone about you. THESE PEOPLE SEE STUFF FOR THEMSELF. I got a phone call and several messages about this thread. I have not even spoke with the lady (SCOOBY) that has emailed me her phone number about your program. So whomever you are getting information from is false and will be proven in court. I DO NOT TALK TO ANYONE ABOUT YOU ! PEOPLE CAN SEE FOR THEMSELF. I do not know who JUDY IS so I do not know what you are talking about.. If any information emails pms ims ect you have has been altered in any shape form or fashion it will be brought to truth there is a IPN # that can be traced on all mother boards meaning HARD DRIVES SO BE READY IM CLEAN! HAVE YOUR PHONE RECORDS READY AS MINE WILL BE TOO. When your computer is investigated it will show. I have NO PERSONAL VENDETTA AGAINST you or your family. I have contacted an attorney myself in regards to your threat .. I have not done anything to you .. You have a huge defense mechanism up and I can see it miles away.. Which ever court you choose my friend I will see you there... Have a blessed day and please if you want to contact me email me at vickicorinne@msn.com this is a huge disrespect to YT for you to be so full of anger towards me ..... I have been nothing but nice to you and if you can prove it other wise let me know! It is a prayer for situations such as these to stay off of yorkie forums if you have facts present them but leave your chipped shoulder in Rice please. |
I feel it is so sad the lengths some will go to in order to protect and continue their BUSINESS of selling dogs :( Dogs should NEVER be used as a business or means of making an income :thumbdown My hope is that one day all those useing dogs in this way will be stopped from breeding them...I just see too many poorly bred yorkies out there with too many health issues. Remember everyone, "champion bloodlines" does NOT mean show/breeding quality. Look at how far back those champions are, how many? But you have to evaluate the actual DOG, not just look at it's bloodlines.. Truth be told, most of our dogs have "champion bloodlines" because most of our dogs have a champions SOMEWHERE in their lineage. Also, anyone can claim that they do this and that test. I'm not saying this breeder doesn't do any testing...but I don't think anyone has seen proof that she has either. Always be sure to get proof of testing that is claimed. |

I'm going to lock this thread. It appears this matter is best settled outside of YT. Thank you. |
