| Mistibleu -Kim Balas Kerryn 915 Firstly, if you read up on why dog's eat their poop there is more than just malnourishment as the cause. I have a Yorkie from Kim that is 5 years old and 3.5 pounds and is a healthy eater. Just like humans, their metabolisms are different and they are different sizes. It's not because she starved him that he is tiny. I understand you're distressed about your puppy, but if you had so many "red flags" as you call them, why would you purchase the dog to begin with? And how did your dog break his leg? You never wrote that. Did he just stand up and it broke? As far as I am concerned, this is all hearsay. Like I said before, since I am an animal lover, I am glad your pup is ok, but I still stand behind Mistibleu and Kim Balas. |

| Kim Balas mistybleu yorkies I have been reading the posts regarding Kim Balas. I'm a little confused, because if I drove 6 hours to a breeders home, and saw way too many dogs captured in one room with 1 bowl of food, in filthy living conditions, and a puppy that appeared severely malnutritioned, eating poop, unsocialized, dirty, with a ear infection, and extremely fearful, I think I'd have to rethink handing a breeder $1500 for the dog. Btw I have a dog that loves eating poop, and I can assure you it's not from ever bring malnutritioned. In reading your first post, you make several assumptions that I'd like you to substantiate. You indicate that Kim does not breed for quality. How did you arrive at that conclusion? Did you study her pedigrees and discover inferior quality in her lines? You also are accusing her of starving her dogs to make them sound smaller to " optimize her profit." How does selling a 4 lb yorkie that's been starved to 2 lbs, optimize profit? It's doesn't make the dog smaller, it makes the dog a 4 lb skinny dog. Again, if the dog was big and skinny, why did you buy it? You've indicated twice that the dogs leg was broken. I'm going to ask why you'd buy a dog with a broken leg, but I'm not sure you did. It sounds like the dogs leg was broken in your care and you asked Kim's opinion about how to fix it and didn't like the answer. Because Kim suggested casting as an option, that's no red flag! It was a suggestion. The final answer on how to fix it was your decision after speaking with a surgeon. It also sounds like you're furious at Kim because she would foot the bill to get the dog's leg fixed. If you signed a contract, did the contract stipulate that Kim was responsible for a broken leg? I think you want everyone to believe that the dogs broken leg resulted in malnutrition. Legs don't break from malnutrition. Tiny fine bone dogs like yorkies bones break from being dropped, or jumping or falling from a bed, sofa etc. You also make the assumption that the dogs leg was broken from a pre existing injury while in Kim's care. How do you know that? Kim does paper train her dogs. Doesn't it make sense that a puppy living in her home for 10 months using the same area to relieve itself on papers, just might be somewhat confused when its sent to a new, strange home with new owners, and just may have to be retrained to find this papers? I have a Yorkie from Kim. He is spectacular. He is well bred, healthy and happy. He was from the day I got him. I did not go to Kim's home because when I asked for photos and videos, I got them. I saw where and how he lived. I watch him run and play with his brother. When I asked about food, Kim was very upfront about his poor eating habits. It's very common for a Yorkie puppy to be a non-eater. My Yorkie was and she never kept that from me. Instead she told me what she was feeding him to make sure he ate. You're lucky you got a good eater. Him diving into a food bowl is very common. It has nothing to do with being starved. I would be very happy to speak with anyone who's considering buying from Kim Balas. Given the opportunity to purchase from her again, I would do do without hesitation. |

| If this is about a tiny there bones can break easily and it may not have anything to do with the breeder. But I also know some breeders that breed tinies will underfeed them to keep them small so that could have been what that breeder did im sure you know better than me what she is capable of. It is always interesting when someone does a negative thread about a breeder how tghese people who had positive experiences just pop up

| I posted because I happened to see the post while reading posts in Yorkie talk. I had to reply because there's no way you can stave or underfeed a dog to keep it from growing in order to keep it small ! OMG! |

| Yes you can and bad breeders do it all the time and if this breeder breeds for tinies they are a bad breeder because reputable breeders dont breed for tinies
