I find the guarantee interesting, I bet most didnt notice... it alludes to a six month guarantee, BUT it states FROM THE PUPPIES BIRTHDATE!

| I want you to know that those terrible people are selling pups on Next day pets. I was looking for their web site and saw this string and thought I would stop in since I was a member and tell you how to handle them. If they get enough complaints against them they may be banned from selling pups on there site. All you need to do is write to Support@nextdaypets.com. They will work with you as long as you aren't a breeder. Also type in there name and contact the other people that they advertise with. Maybe we can keep them from doing this to another person. This is terrible! I raise Yorkies, and it's people like these that could make it harder to sell my pups. I do have a web site. Those other people that sent that 5 week old puppy on a plane should be shot!!! they are lucky that the baby lived!! You had a wonderful vet!! |

| I'm sorry this happened to you. I have been very lucky and found excellent breeders, but was always able to see the pup before I purchased it in person.

| Chaffins This is my first time here. A friend sent me this info. after telling her a story about the Chaffins. I was shocked, I am glad there is a place like this to vent and learn. So I wanted to let you know what is going on with the chaffins and myself. I paid 2500.00 for a 2 year old male yorkie in June of 07. AKC has just advised me the DNA parentage analysis indicates my dog is excluded from the sire offspring. I am about to resend his DNA back to AKC for another test. Mr chaffin was a lunatic and they told one lie after another. I can not believe breeders can act and do the things they do. Everything I have read sounds like my experience I had with the Chaffins in Atoka, Ok. Debbie |

| Familyyorkies.com I just wanted to say that in the past two years I have bought two puppies from Justin and I could not be happier. I also know two other people that have bought puppies from him and they are also very happy. He was very upfront with me about where the puppies were coming from. He has many different breeders that he helps sell their puppies at a time. I know that he usually is helping sell 2 or 3 litters at a time. I know my puppies were both 9 weeks old when I picked them up and so were the other puppies my two friends got from him. I think you should learn to ask more questions when making such an important purchase. I still talk to him once in a while and send him pictures of my cute babies. |

| 16lb Yorkie from Chaffin I worked at Petsmart helping people buy dog food and selling training classes. I also knew a lot of training tips for Yorkies because apparently, this is the hardest breed to potty train. I got my puppy Peter from Chaffin. At 5 months he was 2.5lbs, and although I didn't care about his size I was extra thrilled to see that he was small. I paid $500 + $200 for his transportation. Peter arrived de-wormed, but skin and fur was VERY dry and he had an ear infection. I found out that they had been feeding him Eukanuba. Any good breeder will know to give the pups the best dog food. Eukanuba is NOT. Just because there's a picture of your dog's breed on the bag doesn't mean that it's the best food for your dog. As someone who has worked with dog trainers, vets, and dog nutritionists, I know. Eukanuba is better than Puppy chow and the commercial brands, but the general rule is--if they're advertising on TV, they're not the best product. It'd be better that they put their advertising money into the ingredients and the quality of the food and rely on word of mouth. Also, AKC endorses Eukanuba and gives breeders special deals on food if they agree to feed their pups the food and get future pet parents to continue feeding Eukanuba to their pets. After all, you always assume that the breeders know better than you do what to feed the, right? WRONG. Peter's skin was horribly dry and his fur felt like straw--we had to shave it. It was horrible. I had to put him on this fish oil stuff that made him smell like fish because he'd sweat it out. After switching him to Blue Buffalo, the problem went away. (You can also try Nutro ULTRA, that stuff is also fantastic. But Blue Buffalo is better.) Chaffin was good during the transaction, but was angry that I switched Peter's food after I suggested that his skin was dry. Whatever. One of the very hyper dogs in one of the training classes was a 16 lb female yorkie. I kid you not. SIXTEEN POUND FEMALE YORKIE. I found out that THIS 8 month beauty ALSO came from a Chaffin kennel. She was WAY hyper and did not have the demeanor that well-bred yorkies are supposed to have. She costed her owner HUNDREDS of dollars for training classes. Now, if you try going to www.yorkiebabypup.com no website pops up. Hopefully her operation was shut down, and she didn't open a new website. |

| Is this the breeder? http://puppydogweb.com/puppies/index.php?a=2&b=1429# Website down, but found still selling puppies. Look at dallas. So sad. It looks almost like a rat body with a yorkie head, and coloring is odd.

| Chaffin puppy Hello All, I'm sorry for the people that got treated horribly by the Chaffin kennel. I just have to mention my experience with them. My little Archie came from that kennel and my experience was totally professional. He arrived safe and sound at 3 months old. While he's a bit bigger than the 5-6lb he was 'advertised' to possibly be at adulthood, I understood that this was a guesstimation. I couldn't ask for a nicer guy, he's smart, friendly, happy, and loving and I think quite handsome. He's 7lb and his ears are as large as his sweet dear heart but so what . At 18 months old he's so far [knock wood] been healthy. I love him and wouldn't trade him for the dog that was BOB at the dog show last weekend! Cheers, Karen Archie [7lb] Minnie [3.2lb] Beau [53lb] Standard Poodle |

he was leash trained within minutes [he walks beside me] and I had him barely a week and he knew sit and come. His sis Minnie does NOT come when called even after a year, but she's so tiny and cute she knows she can do whatever she wants. BTW, this is a spay and neuter household Cheers, Karen and the gang | |

| When I saw this thread my heart sank. While in Texas on business in 2003, my stepfather drove out to her place in Atoka and purchased a male and female from her. I believe her prices back then were a lot cheaper before she really got started in the puppy mill business ($550 male and $750 female). The female lived with my mom and the male came to live with me. He flew back with both pups and we expected to live happily ever after. When the pups arrived they were both small. The female grew to be 5.5lbs and my boy who arived wieghing 12oz (she claimed he was 8wks but looked maybe 5wks old). He grew to 3.5lbs. The female was spayed and fine until just after her 2nd birthday she started having issues with kidney stones. They were so severe that she needed surgery to have them removed. She appeared to be doing fine after the surgury but she unexpectedly took a turn for the worst when she coulndnt process the anesthesia. A blood test revealed that she had a liver shunt (completley genetic) and she could not process the anesthesia. She died shortly thereafter in the emergency animal clinic and we were all heartbroken. My little boy was fine, or so I thought. When he had come from the breeder he had a hernia (again genetic) and there were still stiches from the surgery and he had a testicle that had not decended (genetic). He lived 9 months longer than the female did. During his surgury to neuter him and remove the retained testicle he also did not survive the anesthesia due to a liver shunt. Both pups were from seperate litters and both met the same fate all because of poor breeding. I cannot tell you how heartbroken I still am after losing my little boy. He has left a hole in my heart so big that there really is nothing that will fill it. I have another dog now and I adore him with all of my heart but there is still this gaping wound that my first left behind. I really urge all of you to avoid this person. It is so much easier to walk away from a cute puppy then to burry a best friend before his 3rd birthday. Last edited by Bravo916; 01-30-2008 at 05:10 PM. |
