| Unfortunately I purchased Mac from a broker before I found YT. My husband found this "broker" and she lived locally. She has any kind of dog listed on her web site (which after my incident has been changed numerous times). When I was looking for a yorkie she told me she new many breeders that she dealt with all the time and if there was something specific I was looking for she would find it. Well needless to say I feel in love with Mac. This broker (who when things starting going wrong with Mac decided she was only and advertiser because in NJ we have puppy lemon laws which hold brokers responsible) said she would pick him up and bring him to me and that she knows the breeder and they are reputable. I had Mac for 3 weeks during which time he never seemed quite right. After being rushed to the emergency vet numerous times we were finally sent to a neurologist after poor Mac good not even be touched without crying in pain. It turned out that he had Atlanto Axial Malformation. (Thank God he is just fine now). I contacted the broker becuase of the health guarantee and the NJ law. I had the right to keep the dog and be reimbured for 2x my purchase price in vet bills which were actually 5 times that. Well it is when all this started that she became an advertiser. She then gave me the breeders name who lived in MO and raises various breeds. She stated that she never dealt with this broker ever before that the dog was also advertised on auction she also informed me that she sold Mac's sister to a pet store. She told me NJ law doesn't apply in MO and I bought the dog from the broker. The broker/advertiser decided that she would refund the money she made on the transaction. She actually marked the dog up over $800.00 Yes I was a fool at the time. This person actually advertises to stop puppy mills on her site. And now sells designer dogs. whatever they are. I would advise everyone to stay away from this site also. I think we should tell are stories so we can spread the word on any places we have had problems with

| Thank you for posting the site again. It came up on the "Solid White Yorkies" thread a couple of days ago. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...6&page=2&pp=15 It was first posted here by Reconsmomma and I began to research it and I have put a call in to the attorney who filed the class action lawsuit in 2003 to try to find out the status of that case as well as, why this company is still in business and what we might be able to do to help shut them down. It was also posted that Gilda Anderson was arrested for "abuse" and I am trying to find the public record of this so I can advise you of the facts of that arrest so you will be knowledgeable when you wanr people to stay away from them. The husband, James Anderson, is a convicted felon but his conviction I believe was drug related. He was released from prison in 2001. I have an inside number to Gilda Anderson and I will call her and talk to her directly as well. I will let you know what I discover. |

| I also thought it was important to make a correction. Again, it is important to be accurate to be credible in our fight and we should state the truth at all times. Please correct me if I am wrong. It was posted that the Hunte Corportation is "the LARGEST mill in the country." In fact, the Hunte Corportation is not a mill at all since they do not breed puppies. What they are is the largest BROKER in the country. They buy dogs from puppymills and sell them to pet stores. |

Those poor puppies, and all the people that don't know any better, that just want a baby, and end up with all the health problems/ and heartache. This IS a crime!

| Glad to hear that they are no longer apart of the BBB (Better Business Bureau). Hopefully, they get shut down all together! People like this make me physically sick, just by reading how they try to give the illusion that they run a legitimate and worthy business. What a shameful company you are Wizard of Claws!

| Kim, thanks for using your expertise and contacts to help us get to the bottom of why these people are still selling puppies. The skills you have will be very valuable in our fight. Please keep us posted.

| Please keep me updated on the news channel investigation as I would love to find out what they do about all this. You do realize they can open again if they get shut down under another name....I once had a dealing with a certain breeder here in Ohio and to make a long story short she did me wrong and I reported her to AKC only to find out she was listed before and shut down, the opened up under her husbands name then shut down and believe it or not she then went under her sisters name and got shut down. Now that's not all as now she is using her name again because she was only shut down from AKC for a few years....So this can keep going and going and going under different names if they want.. How sad... |
