That's a good idea. I doubt the results of a do-it-yourself DNA test would be accepted in court.

What sort of contract did you get with her?

rebeccag · 04-14-2009, 01:08 PM

That's what I figured that's why I'm going with the vet. She had us sign a contract which she said all she did was take the line out saying I couldn't breed out. It doesn't matter anyway because the contract is void because she sold the dog as a purebred Yorkie and if it's not a purebred the contract is as good as the ACA registration....

Does it specifically state in your contract that it is for a purebred Yorkie? A lot of these greeders put as little as possible in their contracts.

Did you check the Better Business Bureau or Rip Off Reports before you bought your puppy to see if anyone else has had problems with this breeder?

rebeccag · 04-14-2009, 01:33 PM

No, I didn't check first but I will. She has sort of a website with really good reviews that's why I chose her. I have emails going back and forth stating what I was looking for etc etc...so there is proof. I'll have to check the contract over. I'm going to see a lawyer anyway if the test comes back and she's a mix. If I'm right, she messed with the wrong girl because I won't stop until she's stopped!!!!!! I'll give her the option to make it right but if she chooses not to I'll stop at nothing....sounds aweful of me but I wouldn't do this to someone that's what makes me so angry! I told her about a puppy mill I drove an hour and a 1/2 to unknowingly see and this woman's Yorkies OMG! I accidentally saw the room filled with over 40 dogs....I explained to her what happened and she new how I felt about this kind of nonsense done with animals! ANGER!!!!!!!!!!!

cashsmommy · 04-14-2009, 01:36 PM

either way the puppy is soooo cute!!!!

Ladymom · 04-14-2009, 01:42 PM

How long have you had the puppy?

Did you notice she didn't look like a Yorkie when you went to see her?

rebeccag · 04-14-2009, 01:51 PM

Yes, I did mention her head being very small and that she didn't look anything like my male and she said some Yorkies hair takes longer to come in and that the broader head isn't good in a Yorkie and that her head was better. Like I said, the only reason I took her was because the parents were really good looking and I was thinking her looks would change???????? It wasn't until later I suspected they weren't the parents....Oh, it does say Yorkie on the contract but still....I just think she has something else going on...her bum curls up when she runs just like a chuahua and her head screams chuahua to me...maybe I'm wrong, who knows until the test comes back...Do you think she's a mix?

rebeccag · 04-14-2009, 01:52 PM

I got her on Saturday so 3 1/2 days...

rebeccag · 04-14-2009, 01:55 PM

Thanks, she is sweet and she follows me around like a baby duckling. It's just I paid for a purebred Yorkie who I could possible breed and I didn't get it....

CouversMom · 04-14-2009, 02:14 PM

I can definitely see how you could believe she is part chihuahua... Her head and ears look really chihuahua. I hope you find out what she is and can settle this.

She sure is a cutie though!

And yes, I'll still keep her.....but I'm angry because I would have rather rescued one if I was going fix and get poor quality anyway....not to say rescues are poor quality...my pekenese is 12 years old, has an overbite but is the best!!!! It's just I was upfront with my intentions and the breeder gave me something you shouldn't breed.....she knew better!!

As it is so hard to find a responsible newcomers to place very good quality puppies .

rebeccag · 04-14-2009, 02:36 PM

I think I'm responsible as far as taking care and loving my animals. All my pets live in doors and get plenty of attention. I think that should be first. I love to watch dog shows but to participate in one seems a little unneccesary because in my oppinion they're sappose to be companions and household members in which all of my animals are. I realize we need dog shows to set a standard and fun to watch! I'm not being fresh but should poor quality dogs be placed in responsible newcomers homes and not good quality???? I think if a person is going to take good care of and love an animal they should have access to good quality animals...I hope you don't think I'm not responsible?????????? My husband says he wishes he were one of the animals...lol

rebeccag · 04-14-2009, 02:38 PM

Yeah, the more time I spend with her the more I think she's chihuahua....
