--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i've had an heart breaking terrible experience buying a yorkshire terrier pup from pat coburn of "reville registered" in kentucky. She does not back any of her health guarentee's as posted.i paid 2,250.00 for a champion sired male pup of top show quility.this pup arrived skin and bones. I had 3 different vets examine the pup. They felt the pup was from a puppy mill.i was horrified! They all adressed the fact that the pup had genetically grade #4 patelas. The worse possible joints to have. He will need surgery to have both back knee's replaced. One vet which was a board certified surgeon on knee's. Told me to return this pup for this is not acceptable in any breeds standard of ethics. It would cost over 2 thousand dollars to replace his knee's.i sent this information to the breeder as requested. She will not answer her phone now or return my emails to address these problems.she said all yorkie's have this.....she totally misrepresented herslf to me...... Pat coburn has 21 dogs and puppys listed on puppy find.... A total of 30 thousand dollars adding up all the dogs listed.....buying a puppy from pat has turned into a nightmere for our family! She is a kentucky puppy mill of dogs of genetic problems judging from the pup i recieved.....ron from naples, fl

this isn't shocking with some of the pictures that she sent me when I was looking for a boy.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH PATSY

I purchased a female for show out of her champion male around 2 years ago and at 8 months she had LP 4 in both back leg's
I TOOK KIKI TO 2 DIFFERENT VETS with both confirming the diagnosis
this is out of the same ch male that Ron bought his boy from I still have my vet records and a copy of the reg to prove I had bought this girl and the contract Patsy did purchase the girl back but we only live about 45 minutes apart but still denied my vet reports and told me both vets were wrong

Patsy also told me she had never ever had LP in her lines




As of today I was sent an email from Ron the op where she has called me deceitful and basically trash because I told him I would help him if I could and she is very unhappy with me which pushed me into writing this

She told Ron she never had LP in her lines and I knew better maybe I should have stayed out of it but this young man was done very wrong
and paid way to much for an unhealthy dog of 8 months and all he wanted was for her to make things right and if she had I would have never ever posted this or gotten involved

I could go even deeper into detail but I choose to just keep to the subject at hand

I am in no way being deceitful

and I am offended by this accusation of her's I am the one who can prove my story
At one time I thought very highly of Patsy and her breeding program
and her dogs



I once had a very wise show lady tell me who knows who she is
to stay away from this breeder that good things were not said about her and I should have listened but everything she ever told me has stuck and I try to do much better even though I feel I still have a lot to learn I am at least learning the right way to do things and to be responsible for what my lines are and what I produce

Was I the only she ever sent big overgrown, floppy ears yorkies too with a price danging at $1500 as a pet. As soon as I saw them I was like okay is this even for real, then I was like oh wait we are in KY... Select few breeders care for their babies and breeding here in KY, one lady breeds really nice yorkies, the catch she has "no warranty, and they will be under 3lbs for sure with no help problems". All for $500 and up. Now can you believe that one :)

Hi
Thanks for the heads up.
