we know why.

Maxi · 04-08-2008, 01:49 PM

Oh those poor babies!

I am glad they shut her down! I hope all the babies will find forever loving homes.

Ichabob · 04-08-2008, 01:51 PM

no where on her site is her name mention or where she lives, just odd pictures of her so call dogs and her phone number. really weird

AKC Suspenders her BUT she has glowing inspection reports. Hmm, makes ya wonder how much green went in the inspector's pockets.

Poor babies!

urbnalbino · 04-09-2008, 04:59 AM

That is really sad -- I was looking at her website, http://www.raffinankennel.net and you're right the pictures do look like they were doctored in Photoshop with the pinch tool.

Also, does this woman show??? She doesn't any Yorkie champs, but has Maltese and Pom Champions?? That is definitely odd.

There is a breeder in chattanooga, TN that is a puppy mill - I'm not sure if she has just Yorkies or what, but she has nice quality dogs and once or twice a year, she will pick ones she feels are good for showing and champions them out. These dogs get to live in the house and get the 'good life' but the rest of her dogs are chained in the back yard to these little wooden welping boxes under an overhang. Mothers and babies are out there, puppies, etc. She sells her puppies at a local flea market and doesn't allow anyone to visit her property. The law won't do anything because they feel these dogs have adequate shelter and food and water. I think her name is Cathy.

The only reason I know this is because my mom is good friends with another Yorkie breeder down that way who sells his puppies at a flea market, but he has an amazing kennel. So spotless you could eat off the floors and he takes super good care of them. He became 'friends' with her and she let him come take a look around.

I just saw this last night and I was going to post a thread about. You know the weird thing when I was researching a breeder, I recall finding her kennel as one place to check out. Here's 2 other video, the second link is from today....

The dog pics on her website dont look right. Almost look like faces are put on different bodies (if that makes sense). If it is its a very bad photoshop edit

BuggieMom · 04-09-2008, 05:59 AM

I think it's more than just using the pinch tool...those faces are dubbed over...she has cut and pasted the same face on pretty much every dog. If you look at the last full row of pics, the pic on the left has the face misaligned with the ears...the face is tilted, but the head is straight! Crazyness!

MyPeanut · 04-09-2008, 09:41 AM

Some more heart breaking information....... alot of the poor adult dogs have NO teeth

at all and nails. The follow up said the dogs can be ready for adoption in thirty days as long as she is charged with criminal charges according to Florida law. So the way I understand those that can qualify can adopt these baby's

Its just so sad, she even admitted to leaving them in their cages for over 4 months. Just horrible!
