| Stop!!! Dont!! I contacted her last week and half of her pups have had underbites or hernias. She only gives a 6month guarantee for health. Also, there was that whole thread about someone else getting a puppy from her and many members of YT brought up the fact that she is USDA--hence a commercial breeder, which would then make her like my breeder that I left--a puppy mill. That YT member left this forum, but I wish I knew what she did. One of her references even though she was "happy" listed a ton of medical issues with the pups she got from there. It says on her website that she is USDA, but when I contacted the USDA (only because my VET is licensed by the USDA, so I wanted to make sure both were OK) SHe is not listed as being someone who has a license with them anymore. So her website is misleading. If you want a sick pup, go for it, but I did not feel comfortable, especially after I was able to get my money back from my first breeder. Be careful--just because a dog is cheap doesnt mean its good. What you would have put up front for a little more expensive dog from a good breeder, will save you from the heatache of getting a small dog with health issues. Countryhome Yorkies--breeder name is Denise Ronyan. I plan on going to see her this weekend in Boston. THere are also a lot of people that PM'd me about puppies they have and they are YT members. Be careful! Good luck! |

| call her or email her. She is a hoot to speak to! I know she has a few dogs, but they go fast. Check out her website and send an email. She has been featured on many news programs, newspapers and on the show. animal planet. there was also an aricle on YT about her. she really is a lovely lady that truly cares for her pups. Looking on the internet and talking with people about their breeders is one thing, but to speak to the breeder yourself.....thats the best. You can get all the info you want and really get a sense of the person. she is only 2hours from nyc. |
