New to site also Veterinarian and breeder of AKC Yorkies in Oklahoma

[Marc]

I posted in here about my cat cause I thought her intro offered it....I can make a thread on it if I get pointed in the proper direction..no problem there!

So, we just noticed that one of the grey spots is now slowly changing. It too is getting tough wrinkly skin and losing it's hair. All other grey and the entire head is still normal. Eek!

[Marina]

LIKE I SAID..... This poster smelled "fishy" (yes I said it again) from the moment I read her first post.... She has repeatedly stated that she is ONLY here to offer her advice.... but she hasnt done any of that AT ALL!!!!!!
Instead she advertised her "business" and I hope did not get any potential clients from YT.

[Kelz]

welcome to YT.. but all i can see are big RED flags.

I live in oklahoma, and my uncle is a licenced DVM, he looked up Laura Morphis, and there is no Laura Morphis licenced DVM, he use to teach at OSU, where she states she graduated from, he went back into his Alumni books, and the graduating classes from 1975 to current, and there is no Laura Morphis. There is no licence number for Laura Morphis. Another thing is, no Licenced vet. is going to raise numerous of breeds including mixes with her mother or mother in law. All vets recommend spay/neut. your pet, not raise a bunch of different breeds and mixes, they know the health issues that come along with breeding, and mixing, No vet would ever do that! Why would you state your a vet? When its so easy to look up and find out your not! BEWARE of this lady and her kennel business!

I looked her up on the link you gave and can't find her. It says, "No Results At This Time." As far as the BBB given her kennel an A rating, this means nothing.

I just looked her up also and I did see the info. I looked just using the License# . It could be that the site was not working when you looked . But i do agree with you that the BBB rating means nothing.

This sort of person could possibly be a puppy broker, which many Yorkietalk members find reprehensible. So you can see why many of us are apprehensive in welcoming you. Furthermore, so few vets believe in breeding mixes, you can see why we might be suspicious.

If one pays attention to the improper grammar used in the OP's posts one will see the lack of higher education. No vet I know would make such mistakes - not after so many years of college! Heck, My kids had better grammar when they were in third grade.

sorry but the original post was like 7mounths ago why would someone bring this back just to bring up more dissension among the members and the person who dug it up only had 3 posts that seems fishy to me sorry please don't crucify me

perhaps the newbie who brought this back up is the same person?

Yikes!!!...

[mccannc]

All,

Just a quick note, I was looking for a reputable breeder for a Yorkie. I started reading the thread because she is located close to where I live. I read all the back and forth regarding Vet vs. Not a Vet so I looked it up.

My statement was that she is a licensed Vet. which is a fact verified by the by the State of Oklahoma. This is not debatable.

Sorry if the thread was old. However, the information was incorrect. Sorry if the facts offended anyone.

Humm.... certification verified by the State of Oklahoma vs. your opinion of their grammar. I think I am going to have to go with the State of Oklahoma.
