Where did you get Cloe Primrose, is the breeders name Pat? Roscoe's dad is one of Pats MOST adorable males (who has since passed). When I saw Primrose I thought I would ask.

I disagree :) I didn't pay thousands of dollars for either of mine, but they are both perfect :)

Does anyone know the steps I need to take to report these "Puppy Stores?" Or is a pet store allowed to get their puppies from mills and then treat them like crap!

Still disgusted and heartbroken about those pups. :(
It sure is a sad, sad story about those poor little puppies! You can contact ASPC or the Humain Society and they will go and look at the circumstances the puppies are held and force the store owner to change it according to laws.

Look at the lower right corner of a post and you'll see a button saying "Quote". Just click there and your answer will include the post you'd like to reply to...:)

It is so sad. The bad part is that as long as people buy from folks like this, they will continue to thrive. I hope at the least they make them change the living circumstances. What scares me it that it is a PUPPY place. What happens to the dogs that dont get bought? I dont even want to think about that.

I am sorry to say I did look up the website of Forest Ridge Kennel (the one mentioned earlier with such good comments) and I really think that it IS a puppymill. Here is a list of the dogs that they have available. :eek::eek::eek:

This is what was advertised:
We carry many popular pet breeds such as:

Beagle
Bulldog
Cairn Terrier
Boston Terrier
Chihuahua
Cocker Spaniel
Cockapoo
Dachshund
Fox Terrier
German Shepherd
Golden Retriever
Jack Russell
Labrador Retriever
Lhasa Apso
Miniature Pinscher
Miniature Schnauzer
Papillon
Pomeranian
Poodle
Pug
Rottweiler
Siberian Husky
Shetland Sheepdog
Shiba Inu
Shih-Tzu
Springer Spaniel
West Highland White Terrier (Westie)
Yorkshire Terrier (Yorkie)
Poodle Mixes
These Breeds are always available and ready for a caring home!

Not Good!!!!
You're right - all I had to see was "Over 40 breeds"!!! :eek: I didn't look any further. Puppymill and Puppy Broker :thumbdown:thumbdown

To the original poster - tell people about this place. Word of mouth can do a lot of damage to their business and that will help close these places down.

Don't forget about your news station or local papers. They may be interested in doing an article and they'll do the research.

Good job! :thumbup:

mickey is 9lbs (def big according to the standard) but i think mickey is perfect beyond perfect and even if someone offered millions i would not sell him EVER
though he was $400 to buy
I wasnt trying to dispute what you said. :D Im sorry if it came across that way. I was just trying to let the OP that she will find her perfect little baby!!

To the OP, that is awesome that you contacted the spca in your area. I will keep my fingers crossed that they can put them out of business. :thumbup:

I bought her in southern Indiana about 30 miles from where I live (just across the river from Louisville.) What is significant about Primrose?:confused:

While visiting we met people from different states who will only buy a dog from Forrest Ridge. We paid $950 for our puppy and we got him in October. He had all his vaccinations and we got all of his papers. I hope this is helpful.

That looks like a puppy mill to me, how can one kennel carry SO many different types of dogs? :confused::confused:That is almost a shame! Of course they are nice, they are trying to get your money :(

Well then... some word of mouth! Hopefully the NJSPCA will be visiting these places TODAY and no one will be getting a tip-off. So I will post the names of these facilities late tonight or tomorrow. Anyone can join YT for free, and I don't know if the store owners have any contacts on here. I'll post them in a new thread later so that evryone can read them.

I don't know if I will be getting a call back from the NJSPCA, they did take a first name and phone number in case they had any questions.

Fingers crossed for CITATIONS! And even better yet TOTAL SHUTDOWN!!!

LilMissy 01-31-2009 09:52 AM
Don't get discouraged! You will find your puppy. Just keep looking. You will know when you find "the one". I instantly fell in love with Missy after looking at Yorkies for months. She only cost $995 Canadian, I would have paid much more for her. Just keep your hopes up. It will all work out. :)

Primrose is the kennel name of the lady that had Roscoe's daddy and I dont think she is breeding anymore. Just didnt know if Roscoe had a distant cousin! LOL She was in Maryland but retired to Florida. I never met her personally but actually met her a few years later on a yorkie forum and she sent me pictures of Roscoe's daddy.

Sorry everyone, I didnt want to hijack this thread..... forgive me. I will get back on topic now.....:rolleyes:

For the lady that is looking for a Yorkie but won't pay the awful prices they ask for them. I got my beautiful baby from a private breeder, meaning she just bred her female and is not in the business. I got my baby for $700 and he is a love and she pampered her pups till they left her and his personality shows it. I do not know if she is going to breed again but I can certainly find out if you are interested.

Living in California costs are higher on ewverything! However, I looked around for a while and found a breeder who had three yorkie puppies. IT was the parents first litter. Their was only one female. i was able to get Suzi for $600.00. SHe is jsut 7lbs and 10 months.
It is a matter of doing the homework and being patient. Suzi was not from a puppy mill either. I may have gotten extra lucky on her, I know I had. Becasue I have seen many Yorkies that are thousands of dollars easy .You will find that perfect little Yorkie puppy! I understand your frustration, just keep looking and don't settle for anything less then ideal.
