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?...

So nice of you to join us "Mel". Sounds like you got very lucky with your puppy. Like others have said, your post is just one more bump helping Connie get the publicity that puppy buyers should be aware of. Thank you.

Wow, you just joined today and your first post is to defend this breeder, that's not suspect at all.
You live in Boston, eh? So you didn't visit this breeder in person, you didn't see where the dogs are living, how many dogs she has, etc...
If you are not actually the breeder or work with the breeder and are actually a buyer, did you research her first?
I mean if you really have a puppy, I hope it stays health, but it's early.
Do you not see how this breeder is breeding way too many breeds of dogs, selling & shipping them at a young age. Did you not read the vet report in addition to this one person?
This breeder is USDA, that means it's a business, that means she breeds for profit. If it doesn't bother you that someone makes a living off their dogs, then I don't really know what to say!

Yes, very suspicious.This sure reminds me of another forum I was on - work related, not Yorkie related. Someone would post about a non-paying company, and soon after there would be a slew of new members saying what a great company it was (right before some of the companies went out of business!)

But, it is bumping this thread up and keeping Connie's name out there, so those looking for a healthy puppy will know to avoid her like the plague.

Looks like she has changed her website: PuppyPatch

I saw that! Oh and I will add another red flag, a breeder who has a website and can't spell!

Nope, not suspicious at all. Especially right after a certain person was suspended. Someone who posted about themselves in 3rd person. Nope, not at all curious.

Ah! I hadn't seen that Connie was suspended. makes sense now.
Guess we'll see a few "new members" posting about how great she is

I too have received a very sick puppy from Connie Fahey. My baby was sick from day one, Connie stated it was a cold, it is not a cold! I have owned the dog not even two weeks, she's been on medicine since I received her with no results. The Vet states there's something going on with her Trachea, more tests on Sat. Everything I have read here is what she stated to myself as well. Connie was able to remove my negative response in less then an hour! All I wanted was a friend for my other baby.
Now I know why you should never purchase a pet online. I learned my lesson!

I don't use myspace but when you create a FB page, i'll be happy to help!

I have all emails etc so I created the myspace page as added proof of the support in shutting this place down of hers. So if anyone on here has a myspace please add yourself and I would also like pictures of your baby(s) emailed to me to post in an album called Lexys friends all over the US to help Lexy through this with your permission. I'd like your baby's name and the state and/or city you live in if your willing? Send pics and info to lovelexy2009@gmail.com

Also, I'm in the process of creating a Facebook page as well per request. I will keep you all updated. Thanks!!!

I'm so sorry about your furbaby. I hope the vet is able to give you some encouraging news on Saturday.

Hello Everyone, first I want to thank you for your well wishes. My little girl, Gracie,
has a moderate collapsed trachea, I was so upset!!! Connie saying she had a cold
was bogus, all her gasping and gagging is so upsetting! Connie is impossible to deal with and just plain mean! Anyone that has a sick baby from her, PLMK...I will take your info and mine and call, e-mail, fax, whatever it takes to try and get the word out! All e-mails welcome! Thank You so much and wish me luck!
I'm not one to give up! Thanks again, CC

I am so sorry to every who has ended up with a sick baby from this horrible person. I hope people who are thinking of buying from her will find this thread via search engines and see her for who she really is.

Hugs to all!

I'm so sorry about your little one!
Given the attitude of the breeder in her posts here, it's not surprising!
The good news is her name is out there for anyone who is researching her.
I can't imagine any informed, caring buyer would purchase from her after reading all this info and seeing all the red flags on her site.
