Horrible Breeder
 

Hi,
I have written before about purchasing a Puppy from a Breeder who sold me a different Puppy with a different Birthdate from the Puppy I purchased online.
The Puppy had multiple Health Issues. The Breeder didn't want to hear from me when I contacted her about these Issues. I have reported her to the Better Business Bureau,as well as the Humane Society, Stop Puppie Mills,and other concerned Organizations.

My Puppy is now having Behavior Issues. I will be sending her to Puppy School for Six weeks to hopefully sort these issues out. After spending $1,750.00 on the wrong Puppy and over $1,000.00 in Vet Bills,I am now in for another $2,500.00 to hopefully correct her Behavior.

I Love my Puppy very much and will do everything I can for her. Just don't want this to happen to anyone else. Please don't buy from the Internet. Most of these Puppie's are from Puppy Mill's according to my Vet. I am not sorry for my mistake. I feel I have rescued this Little Girl from a World of who know's what? I will be more involved in supporting against Puppy Mill's.

Hopefully someday Dog's will not have to go through this to Support these Mill owner's who only want to make money from people like me...Not to mention the Hell all their Dog's go through Breeding constantly.
Thank you all for reading my post.. Maxi85

Hi,
I am so sorry you had to go throught that. But welcome to YT!!

Bad Breeder
 

Thank you so much. It is so comforting to be here with people who really love their Babies. I appreciate your concern.. Maxi85

I know exactly how you feel. Went through a smilar situation. I hope you're right about one day being rid of puppy mills.

Welcome to Yorkietalk, I am so glad you joined. We need more people advocating good breeding, and sometime I feel like so many people don't understand why it's important to look for a good breeder when choosing a puppy. You're right about buying over the Internet, lots of people have learned that you shouldn't buy from pet stores, but think it's ok to buy from the Internet, and according to the Human Society, no good breeder would sell their dogs this way. A good breeder is looking for homes in which to place their puppies rather than just selling them, and are very particular on who adopts their puppies. So many people believe if the can get a cheap dog, that they really have made out well, but many find out later that behavior and health problems can add up to more than what a show dog would have cost. I am so sorry you had to learn this the hard way, but I'm glad you are taking a proactive stance in helping your dog overcome these difficulties. I think a majority of people either rehome, abandon, or euthanize dogs that could be rehabilitated.

Welcome to Yorkie Talk.
It is so sad to see these pups suffer because of greedy people. :(

So sorry to hear of your ordeal you know you did rescue your sweet baby ~ Much love I send and hugs too for you and yours !

I can't believe how many thoughtful caring people are on this site. I have been so overwhelmed over this entire ordeal. The very day I purchased this Puppy, my Daughter-in-Law was coming home from work and got Killed by a Drunk Driver. That was about 10 hour's after placing my Deposit on the Puppy. I asked the Breeder for a refund on the Deposit.... she refused. Did I stop there?, no! My Grandchildren were so sick after losing their Mom, I contacted the Breeder and went ahead with the Puppy Purchase. I did it for my Grandchildren because I didn't know how to deal with the losss of their Mom. I thought a Puppy would make them Happy. Was I wrong????. The Puppy has been sick since the purchase. I am trying to deal with my Grandchildren's loss, and the sick Puppy I purchased for them. I also had to deal with the Harrassing, threatening emails from the Breeder's Husband.
This has been the worst thing I ever had to deal with in Life. Now I do whatever I can for the Puppy. My Grandchildren can't deal with another loss.
Thank you all so much for your concern. I have felt so alone in my fight. Maxi85

How devastating that this all happened at the same time. I don't know how you kept your sanity; I guess you had to be strong for the grandchildren. When we had our adorable, but poorly bred dog, I had small children at the time, and it was just so hard on them to understand all the things that the dog went through. As a parent, you want to protect your children from some of the realities of life, and a sick dog that has no chance for a decent life isn't one of the things that I wanted them to learn about so young. I hope you don't feel alone anymore.

I am so sorry for your loss.... it is devastating that some ppl are literally out there to make a buck and dont care about the dogs or the buyers.

I hope he gets better quick.

I really respect and admire that you decided to keep your baby and help her get over her medical issues and behavior issues instead of dumping her at a shelter, like some people do. What is your little one's name? I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter and wish you, your grandkids and your pup nothing but the best in the future, you all deserve it. Hugs and strength to you all.

Welcome to YT. I am so sorry about your loss and your puppy misfortunes, but you have come to a great forum where there are many supportive people. The best way to avoid others making the same mistake is to identify the breeder who caused the heartache.

I know things will turn out for you, because you are a warm caring woman.

Im very sorry for your losses and what you've had to go through with the puppy. I hope the puppy is feeling better.

And puppies do help you heal. I got my Triss a month after my infant daughter died. Having my sweet puppy and taking care of her has literally brought me out of the darkest place I have ever been.

I am so glad you found us. My heart goes out to you on the loss of your Daughter in law. Hopefully the puppy will be ok and bring you some much needed joy.

kennel name please
 

when you come out publicly with the name of your bad breeder, and the kennel name and website, you can help other people. and maybe help put them out of business.. the name shows up on searches so people will be aware of breeders who sell sick puppies and torture the parents.. so sorry for your sick puppy. hope hes all better soon.:)
