| BEWARE OF STARYORKIE.COM IN CA, Encino I was checking out some websites and come across this one. www.staryorkie.com I was a little alarmed because of all the breeds they had for sale. yorkies, pugs, poms, maltese and and more... They are located in my state so i gave them a call and asked if i could come see the pups. Gina, the lady selling the pups told me i could come by in a few days, i asked if i could see the parents of the pups also and she told me that all the pups she had available were from Korea and shipped to her at 6 weeks old. this immediately teriffied me. All i could think about was those poor dogs stuck in puppy mills in Korea. they probably dont have any regulations there for dog owns. So i called the local humane society, apparently they have been to Gina and Bens house many times but were not able to shut them down because it is actually legal to get dogs shipped in from other countries!!! I just felt so helpless. I wrote to our states representatives and the other politicans about this and asked them to pass a law so that out of country puppy mills wont profit from the USA. I have not gotten any replies but i do enourage any one who is equally upset about this to do so. And please stay way from star yorkie kennels. Buying from them is only supporting the torture that these poor animals go through on a daily basis. |

| Thanks for letting us know. We had a thread on here about a kennel in Texas that did the same thing but he was importing them from Ireland. The local TV station even did a couple stories in them. I am not sure what ever came out of the story or if they are still open for business and selling sick dogs. Maybe trying posting this on millbusters.com which is YTs sister forum. They are doing what they can to get the word out to everyone about puppymills and the horrors that happen there. |

| You can look up your states representative on an internet search or just go to this link and type in your zip code. https://community.hsus.org/humane/le...up/search.html I just sent an email to the news station in Encino, CA. So helpfully they will be interested in the story. Thanks Guys!!! |

| It is a very sad thing. Just like there are puppymills here, so are there abroad. I think this is why it is so important to educate one self when buying a pup. Maybe this is why puppymills buy from puppymills. They just think of the pups as an item to sell and make a profit on. 6 weeks old and shipping - way too young!! I bet they also loose some pups from the stress. I thought air lines had regulations as to when one can send in a pup. And I know that customs is very strict here in my town when pups come in from other countries. Looks like someone is not watching. Hmmm. But I also know - there are reputable breeders in other countries beside America. T. |

| I am always so surprised when I read about a site that I have looked at time and time again. I'm too darn trusting! Not long ago they gave away a yorkie to a home for I believe it was something like mentally challenged people. I thought they were a trust worthy site and their puppies sell so fast. I just shake my head and wonder how people can do these types of things.

| How about writing to airlines as well? If they cannot get airlines to ship to the US then they have no way to get the pups here!

| I thought this thread was a warning about staryorkies and importers. If it's going to start up again about Simbas, it's going to get locked and this is important stuff. |
