Susan Morgan & Glenda Britton

[drboolittle]

I read the entire 18-page thread regarding Susan Morgan, Glenda Britton and JrsyGal and wanted desperately to comment, but the thread is closed. I'm starting a new thread because I believe it is important, vital, to get the correct info out there.
I am one of the veterinarians for Susan Morgan and her daughter, Shannon - who, by the way, was brought into this argument needlessly. She had nothing to do with Susan selling the puppy, nor JrsyGal purchasing it.
I have known Susan for 5 years, and have been examining her puppies during that time. I started seeing them in the office, then started to see them at her house so she wouldn't have to bring healthy puppies into an environment where they could pick up an illness. At this time she and Shannon had one business, Top Knotch Pups. Within the last year, they have two separate businesses, Colorsilk Yorkies and Mixed-up Pups.
They were, and still are, kept in a very clean and healthy environment. Sick puppies are isolated and treated under the supervision of a veterinarian, either myself or another dr. I have gotten many late night calls from Susan as to what to do with a sick/injured puppy. I would advise her whether it was an emergency or medications should be given. Susan takes meticulous care of her dogs and puppies. We should all be so lucky to be a dog cared for by Susan.
I examined the puppy that was purchased by JrsyGal and it was healthy when I saw it. I do not know how many days later JrsyGal purchased the dog, but the dog was not showing any signs when it was sold. Susan DOES NOT sell sick puppies. I have had to tell her many times that a puppy has a heart murmur or subluxating patella or other issues. When the dog has a congenital problem that cannot be easily fixed, she would place the puppy in an INFORMED househould for free.
Susan does sell puppies for Glenda as Glenda lives in an area that does not have a lot of people, and Susan can find home for them easily. I have examined many of these puppies as well, and if they are unfit with something not easily treatable, they go back to Glenda.
Again, Susan does not sell sick puppies. It just does not make for good business or financial sense. She knows the law in NJ and it would be financial suicide to sell something sick.
So JrsyGal shows a video of her sick puppy, forgetting to mention that it is 10 DAYS postpurchase. She had immediately taken what she thought was a sick dog (due to head-shaking, which is not a common symptom of an upper respioratoryt infection) to a vet - NOT HER REGULAR VET she reports, but continues to call him "HER VET." He/She says the animal has a URI, but then proceeds to vaccinate it !!!! This is where things go wrong. No decent vet vaccinates a sick dog, plain and simple. Plus putting a puppy on a table where other animals, possibly sick ones, can maybe cause them to pick up an infection. Again, the dr should never have vaccinated this puppy - He/She is totally responsible for the illness that shows up 10 days later on video. If the puppy were that sick when purchased, why don't we have a video of her then? Why didn't she take the puppy back immediately? It's total BS that she was afraid of what would happen to it if she took it back. If it was sick still, what is she doing taking it the MALL to have its picture taken?
This is supposed to be a site where people can talk Yorkies, and I have found it to be a breeder bashing site. Where do you guys think Yorkies come from? They come from breeders. While Susan doesn't show her dogs, they come from show stock. Her sire is a champion and is of very good quality. Susan breeds her dogs to help keep quality in the breed.
I HIGHLY recommend Susan and ColorSilk Yorkies as a place to get a great quality, home-raised, excellent temperament puppy.

It's not at ALL suspicious that all 6 of your posts over the last 6 years have been in defense of a breeder with questionable ethics.

Instead of saying over and over and over that said breeder doesn't sell sick puppies, one would THINK that a vet would be more concerned about the health of said puppy.


Not suspicious at all.

[Rhetts_mama]

Oh, BTW. Are you the vet that Susan wrote to JG about? The one who told her to put down all of her animals so she wouldn't have to put up with people like JG?

The ORIGINAL breeder now says (As of yesterday) that she will pay the vet bills, HOWEVER, in the same email she also says if I continue to cause her trouble she spoke to her vet who suggested she then put all her old animals down to avoid problems from activists like me. So, just because the vet bills MAY be paid, that statement of putting animals down to me further shows her as unreputable. Susan, who broker's her pups has not said a word about reimbursement. Thank you for your support. I don't mind taking the heat. I deserve it. I just don't want focus lost that even educated people will buy with their heart and hopefully this is that lesson that others will not repeat.

I was under the impression that Jrsygal took Mia to the vet within 12 hours of picking her up as on the way home she started shaking her head and displaying signs of illness. It didn't take her 10 days to get her to a vet, she just showed the video of 10 days after to show how sick her little one was.
Honestly, your posts seem a bit suspicious...why does a vet care one way or another what kind of reviews a breeder is getting. Does your salary rely on her placing puppies? And I don't think it's so much showing that she sells sick puppies, rather than she is more focused on the $$ that she doesn't really care what she is putting out there.
I'm not personally involved with any of the persons involved, just giving my 2 cents from what I've read. The breeder in question appears to be a broker/byb who I wouldn't purchase a pup from...

I seriously doubt that any vet wrote that rambling mess.

That woman, Glenda, is emailing people with rambling nonsense trying to rehab her image I suppose. How do I know? Because I received one of them. No clue as to WHY....but it came to me and was written in the same manner.

[ladyjane]

The OP is currently suspended...interesting. No way is that a vet. Almost too funny for words....

[jrsygal37]

You're on here defending, well why not bring up how my personal life was brought into play and the blackmail that took place.

[chachi]

Interesting but I dont believe your a vet most likely the breeder or a friend of a breeder. A vet would have written a more professional post and stuck to facts instead of inuendo. Nice try though people just Arent that stupid or naive around here

[megansmomma]

What a minute! I just put something together here that I had no idea until now. There is this ongoing thread that someone posted to today that bumped it back up.

Here is the link:

There was also all of the aforementioned problems with Mia what is here:

Then you add the two different site that are owned by these women and they are all connected. Actually, I think they are all the same woman Susan Morgan! Holy cr@p!

I felt bad that Elaine purchased a sick puppy but this all goes some much deeper than just a sick dog. This woman Susan Morgan seems to be all over the place if you really start to put the pieces together. What else it there to piece together?

Thanks Drboolittle for helping me to fit a few more pieces of the puzzle together. Wow!

I find it interesting that you claim to be the vet who examines all these sick puppies and some are even not treatable yet you have a broad sweeping positive review of this breeder who is breeding these said sick dogs. Is it not a breach of professional ethics to suggest, recommend, condone, bless or otherwise support the practices of a breeder who is shipping sick puppies back to Glenda? Wouldn't their medical conditions preclude travel if they were unfit for sale? Would the veterinary board in your state approve of your actions?

Just curious, since you brought it up.

The "Mixed Up Pups" is enough to make me vomit.

In other posts on a different thread, drboolittle signed her name as Julie and said that she worked at Parkway Veterinary Hospital with two locations - one in Marmora. I found their website at:

Staff Parkway Veterinary Hospital – Cape May Court House, NJ

There are four vets listed -- none named Julie. There is one person named Julie in their staff photo.

Now this person is suspended so she can't respond - but I can see only three scenarios:

1) No longer works there and the fact that they have a staff member named Julie is coincidental.
2) Is truly a DVM there but trying to remain anonymous. Is this ethical behavior?
3) Is the Julie in the photo, is NOT a DVM, but is trying to represent herself as one. Definitely unethical, and I wonder if the employers know that this is going on. If I were the owner of a business and found one of my staff had been representing herself as something more than she is and using my business name to endorse someone without my knowledge, she wouldn't be working for me much longer.

Incidentally, having a DVM by your name doesn't make one honest, ethical, or caring. I'm not saying that Boolittle is not all those things, I'm saying that when someone claiming credentials offers an opinion, I take it with a grain of salt until I know more about them. And if they don't disclose their true identity, I take it with a whole barrel of salt.

The OP is well aware of the fact that in order to get my $$ back to take care of Mia, an agreement was put in place preventing me from discussing any further what has happened, so I am unable to defend myself on this thread.

Thank you for those sticking by me.
