I'm not sure why you are referring to yourself like you are someone else, unless you have another user name and thought you logged in with that.
I think we have your number on here and you won't convince us otherwise.
You are USDA, your puppies live in a kennel. Is there anything you won't breed? You have over 20 dogs listed on puppyfind that are every kind of mix one can imagine. You have them listed as young as a couple of weeks old and you are shipping at least as young as 8 weeks.
You have plenty of excuses as to why these sick puppies aren't your fault, but with all the breeds, mixes, young ages, the prices you are selling these puppies for, SPEAKS VOLUMES!

Exactly, the perfect example of the kind of breeder I would advise everyone to stay away from!

No Matter who it is the puppies HAVE to have a healthy health certificate to fly !! Yes, at 8 weeks old they are old enough to get their own family but people need to continue the same loving care that the breeder has been providing them !!! They need to be loved and keep warm or they can get a cold/cough. Makes perfect sense ! I only sell perfect 8 week old happy, loving puppies hopefully to families that will give them alot of love!

You go Connie - keep bumping this thread up.

You know if you hadn't revived this thread many members here wouldn't even know about you. Now, they all know.

And a reputable breeder would not let puppies go at 8 weeks old. They may be healthy enough to fly at that age, but they are not mature enough.


Please keep replying so we can keep this thread "in the spotlight"

this is bumping of a different kind! Its not often the breeder helps by bumping it up themselves!

I know. This thread was pages and pages back so I don't think anyone would have noticed it. The thread "died" in April 09, then Connie revived it in March this year. The last post - by Connie herself - was then March 28th this year. Then yesterday she obviously decided it was time to revive the thread.

Guess bad publicity is better than no publicity.
Nice of her to want to keep the thread alive

Wow! Interesting reading indeed. I read from beginning to end and no where does it say that the collapsed trachea is now healed. I read that it had opened up with the use of the medications - but no where did I read that it was healed. I was hoping that the OP came back to respond. Obviously, being on the list of the USDA shows that you are not a "reputable breeder" which is what anyone searching for a puppy should look for - someone who does not breed more than one breed - and how many?? - more than 30 dogs. Not good!

WOW! I'm just amazed!!! very amazed!!! Speechless!!!

Thanks Connie for proving that you are the last person in the world that anyone should buy a pup from. 8 weeks? LMAO. Maybe for a Mastiff, but even 9 weeks is better. You should not quit your day job. There are members here that have forgotten more than you will even know. Please, have your dogs fixed, and take up Skeet shooting.

Could not have said it better myself! Well, you were a lot more tactful than I would be. This woman should not be allowed to breed Spiders

I say not even own spiders!

I hope she keeps reviving it, that way more and more potential buyers will get to know her name and know this is the last person you want to buy from!

Agreed. Can't believe she thinks I am living off the State! Shows her how much she knows about me. But ya know if I was living off the state it would be far better than making money off the backs of these poor little dogs.


Oh, Connie, for the past 40 years I have lived off my husband. He is of the old school and was raised that the man was the breadwinner and the woman stayed home and took care of the home and kids.
Which was nice because when I did start my own business the money was my extra to do with what I wanted - that was the way he wanted it.

Honestly, my fault ??!! come on now.....my puppies are precious and in excellent condition but some people do not care for them properly like I did the 1st 2 months of their lives !!
I raised these puppies from birth.....all perfect till they got to their new homes....SAD........VERY SAD..........

Puppies get REINFECTED from eating their feces. But they get the inital infestation from being exposed to contaminated soil/water/feces from other dogs. A good breeder would know that.

CT isn't cured, it's managed.

And yes, I do read English. I don't breed because there are enough people doing it out there that I don't need to add to the pet population. There are some very good breeders out there. Unfortunately, most are in it for the money , aren't very knowledgeable about the breed and want to blame everyone but themselves for their bad practices.

We have created this page together to support all animal lovers out there because I have a genetic disorder that I was born with, it's called Collapsed Trachea (CT). I have a wonderful family who loves me dearly and spoils me like us Yorkie's love to be spoiled! Some people think because I am so small that I am a tea cup, I laugh because there is no such this as a tea cup yorkie...teacups are cups you drink tea out of! hehe The lady whom my mommy adopted me from her name is Connie Fahey from Clyde, Kansas and her website is Connies Puppie’s she has over 8 breeds and is also inbreeding many of us puppies and not really caring for us before we are sent home. On the day I arrived by plane in Texas I was sooo happy to finally have a new home with a pretty pink bed, lots of toys and a colorful sweater to keep me warm when I went outside but I had a bad cough. Mommy took me to the Vet the next day for a check up and to see if I had a cold. The vet put me on antibiotics because my cough was raspy and after a few days of not helping much my mommy took me back to the Vet and she did x-rays and that's when she found out I had CT. She contacted my breeder and she seemed to not care much and not believe my mommy or the Vet that I was really sick with this hereditary disorder. I have already developed fluid in my lungs twice which is something I can easily get because of this and now I have to be on a special medication for the rest of my life to ease my coughing noise that I make everyday. The problem with that is I am only 2 lbs and they don't make this medicine for my size, so it is having to be specially made just for my pretty self, I was told I would be 5-6 lbs but that wasn't true and because of my disorder I can't have any type of surgery...putting a breathing tube down my throat while on anesthesia will kill me. So hopefully I will be ok the rest of my life and not ever need surgery. When mommy told the breeder all of this she didn't believe her and says this is why she doesn't have a Vet, how someone can breed so many dogs and not have a Vet is beyond me! Mommy has made lots of Yorkie owner friends on internet groups from all over the US and learned a lot of information on my breed and the red flags when it comes to finding a special dog like me from a breeder, a lot of people out there just use us to make money. When mommy asked for pictures of my parents she never received them and that is a big sign that she may have a puppy mill of some sort. So mommy is determined to find out all of this for sure and has shown several people in these groups all of the emails to and from the breeder. We are doing research to see what we can do about this to have her investigated. Mommy found me on puppyfind.com and discovered that all the breeds she has posted are all posed in the same doggy bed in all the pictures which tells mommy that my brothers and sisters, my parents and the other animals there along with myself my have lived or are living in cages all day long. The breeder told mommy 3 Yorkies have died in the last 5 years after they went to their forever homes, so she replaced them, who's to say how many new owners never told her their pup died. That is not a good thing at all to hear which means obviously something is wrong with this lady...we need to put a stop to her. She thinks mommy is crazy and doesn't know what she is talking about. Mommy left a review on the site she found her on stating all the problems I have been having and the breeder reported it as lies so the site would remove it, so mommy is getting all supporting documentation to keep the review posted for the site. This is a war mommy is going to fight to the end!

Update: She has just been reported to Humane Society of the United States and have several other agencies I still need to report her to.

My name is Mel and i live in Boston. I purchased my precious little baby boy cooper from Connie Fahey in June and hes as healthy as can be..As far as your poor little puppy goes i hope she's doing better but you cant put Connie out there like you have been doing. Granted i understand as to why you maybe upset if it was Connies fault but my puppy came 2 me in PERFECT condition!!!...Hes the most energetic, loving and playful puppy in the world.. 3months later and i still yet have no problems with my baby. Connie helped me out in every which way she was nice, understanding, and a very professional. As a matter of fact im about to buy another puppy from her. Why are you being the voice for the people who claim to have problems with the dogs they have received and purchased from Connie?...
