Welcome to YT. What an awful tragic story. Poor baby. They sound like
horrible breeders and only in it for the money. If not you, then I hope
someone will sue the pants off them, however that would mean another sick pup. People like this should rot in h--l! Sorry for your heartache.

you guys have no idea how happy i am that i found yorkietalk

yesterday i emailed the apri and told them the story, they emailed me back and asked me to mail them all my documentation. maybe nothing will come of it, but i feel a little better. i also think i found a wonderful home breeder in ohio. here's the crazy thing........we emaild back and forth and i was asking a million questions which she answered almost immediatley. a couple hours later a friend called me to ask if i wanted to go to ohio on saturday for some car race. out of curiosity i emailed the breeder to see how far away she was from where the race was going to be. she sais she's 5 miles and told me to stop by and visit

i can meet the puppies mom and dad ( can't hold the pup yet as she was born on 8-8). i told my friend who said it must be a sign so...im going to visit. then my friend said there's a big car show slash race the week of hallowwen which is when the pup will be able to come home with me. i hope it works out and i have allready named her fergie (from the black eyed peas) and the breeder said as soon as i decide she will start calling her fergie so she will be used to it

keep your fingers crossed.

Welcome to YT.

I am so sortry that you lost your little one. So many people come to YT that way, so you are not alone.

It's a breeders responsibility to warn buyers about hypoglycemia and educate them on the care of their new babies.

They probably shipped him to young anyway.

How old was he?

dlynnturtle · 08-23-2006, 05:31 AM

hi, she was 8 weeks and 6 days when they shipped her.

dlynnturtle · 08-23-2006, 11:45 AM

one more thing, the place i bought her from was petconnectonline.com, my brain wasn't keeping up with my fingers in the first post. also, does anyone know how i would go about suing them? the breeder was ruth ann goostree of missouri and i am in michigan. thanks for any help.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Sometimes you can do as much research, and still be fooled. I hope the best of luck for you in your puppy search!

That's great, and the coincidences sounds like it's meant to be!!! Good luck!

scrapindee · 08-23-2006, 06:42 PM

How did you pay for your puppy?? If you put it on a credit card, notify them immediately of what happened and tell them you want to dispute the charges. Also notify the attorney general of the state you purchased the dog with a complaint. Also the FCC because the dog traveled over statelines.

I am sorry about your loss but it is important to fight back when and where you can.

dlynnturtle · 08-24-2006, 05:16 AM

You are right. I have been so sad over losing her, but now it's time to fight back. I have allready filed a complaint with the Missouri Attorney General and will now call my credit card company. I'm nervous though, I'm just one person and they are a bussiness. I'll keep you all updated.

fannie · 08-24-2006, 05:30 AM

Don't be nervous! You aren't the one that did anything wrong. Under no circumstances should a puppy that young be on a plane. I haven't had a chance to look at their website to see where they are from. I'm from MO too, so I might be able to help some. It's people like this that give good breeders a bad name in MO. I'm so sorry that you are even having to go through this! I hope that it works out with the puppy you found. I'm glad you are able to go there and see the living conditions and meet the dam and sire. Ask lots of questions and make sure you find out about the health guarantee!

fannie · 08-24-2006, 05:36 AM

Ok, petconnectonline.com is not the breeders website. That's just a place to post ads. Does the breeder have a website?

dlynnturtle · 08-24-2006, 08:34 AM

yeah, i think petconnectonline.com is kind of a "doggie ebay" where they sell the dogs for breeders. The breeder dosn't have a website i dont think but her name is Ruth Ann Goostree of Missouri. My credit card was paid to petconnectonline though. I have talked to my credit card company and even they were appaled. When my pup first passed away I and even my vet called petconnectonline. They said there was nothing they would do and the breeder never even bothered to call to say she felt bad or sorry or anything. I ended up with a heartless breeder. I do think petconnectonline should make sure the pups are healthy though before they agree to ship. Another thing, when I first picked her up her breath smelled funny, not like puppy breath.....it was different but I didn't think about it til I noticed she wasn't feeling well and took her to the vet, where they immediatley admitted her.

fannie · 08-24-2006, 03:16 PM

Does she still have any ads up?

dlynnturtle · 08-24-2006, 04:19 PM

I dont know. I just went and looked at all the yorkies available and they either have a 573 area code listed to contact or a 417 area code and i know the 417 number is petconnect because i called before to inform them of my puppies passing.

Dlynnturtle, I just read this. Before doing so, I emailed a private message. You can disregard it now. It sounds like things are working out for you.
