| Got 2 bad yorkies I know relize that the people I dealt with here in Colorado in fact get their dogs from a known listed puppy mill lady located in Kansas her name is Izene Hynes. I guess she supplies thhis Colorado location where I got both puppies. Well just to let you know, I got vet papers to back up everything about all the health issues on both dogs. They refunded my money and let me keep the puppies so I will get them the vet care they need to become healthy pups. Walter was NOT happy, called me a liar said there was no way his dogs was unhealthy. And that it was unheard of for 2 to go to the same person. His wife Linda heard us yelling back and forth, she asked what was going on I told her, and I heard her ask him which breeder was they from and I told them Izene, and I asked how many breeders do you deal with? It got ugly, but his wife was smart and she told him to shut up because I have the paperwork, and I told him I was going to shut his place down, at first they wanted me to bring the puppies back and get 2 new ones, and I told him I wouldn't take any dogs from him, then came the well bring them back and we will put them down and refund your money, again I told them it wasn't fair to me or the puppies or all the other people out there that may not realize what they got. I said forget I'm going to the news, that's when I was offered to keep the pups but get refunded. So now I have a lot of vet care to deal with, retained teeth,tracheal collapse, and cryptorchidism in one dog, the second one has a liver shunt, and retinal dysplasis. I think its time someone look into this breeder in Kansas, I mean come on I have all the health issues documented by 4 different vets, and this is just 2 dogs that came from the same place, different litters. I'm looking at a large amount of money and some issues I can not afford, so he will remain with me until he is no longer healthy, then I will relive him from his body. This is so not fair and in my heart I hate myself for supporting a puppy mill. |

| If you cant afford to vet them why dont you just surrender them to a yorkie rescue. If I understand your previous post, one is just a puppy. Dogs can survive after liver shunt surgery, and they can still live with CT.. if you cant afford to properly vet them, please contact a rescue!

| So sorry to hear about your pups... they sound like they have many health issues the poor things.. If you cannot pay for the care they are going to need...why not give them to a rescue who will look into liver shunt surgery,the trachea, spay/neuter, and what ever else they may need....

| I am planning on getting everything done that i can afford, it depends on the liver shunt and how bad it is, when i find out total cost i will decide. Everyone is worried about me not fixing them, if you knew me then you would know i do everything i can for my dogs, i spent 1,000's on my last dog that had issues. I was told that a liver shunt could run around 3,000 and it may or may not work. Dont you think we should be worring about this puppy mill and the seller here in colorado? |

At this point right now we need to worry about the situation at hand which is you having 2 puppies that may not survive if you dont fix the problems they have NOW.. they only reason we talked about a rescue is that you said you dont have the money.. Liver shut surgery can be thousands!!! Alot of liver shunt dogs survive and lead a very normal life once they have had surgery, if surgery is an option. Its not something that you can just sit on , it is something that needs to be done NOW!!!! Just so you know there is a Colorado Yorkie Rescue, all we are saying is PLEASE CONTACT them if you do not want to shell out the thousands of dollars this may cost. I know of a Yorkie rescue that has yorkies that bite , that are agressive, that have neurological problems they do EVERYTHING and would never Put a dog TS unless there was NO other option!!!

| Did you get the puppies from a pet store? Pet stores get their puppies from puppy mills. The breeder is on the USDA "puppymill" list. http://www.prisonersofgreed.org/ListA2006.pdf Unfortunately, it is perfectly legal to operate a USDA licensed commercial kennel. These places churn out puppies for profit and don't waste money on health testing. If they do produce a sick one, it's cheaper just to replace it. The only way to shut this breeder and others like her down is to stop buying from pet stores. Only when the demand stops will they stop supplying pet stores. It's important that you continue to share your story and educate others. |

| They claimed to be the number 1 breeder of quality yorkies, its called Yorkie Palace, or the web site is QUEENYORKIES-PALACE.COM, you look at their web site, I really thought it was a good place, it was a very nice place, clean, well groomed, and handled puppies that I seen. I did NOT know that they came out of Kansas until AFTER I got the papers and later noticed the breeder name was not who I purchased the puppies from, that was when I started researching, then the vet visits set everything else into motion. YOu have to understand I just lost my beloved shepherd in Feb due to a long list of health issues, and I did everything for him, I spent 1,000's for his health care and did without so he could have everything he needed. Does not help that vets charge a arm and leg for every little thing. With all the issues these guys have, I can afford to get everything done which I will this coming week, the only one I do not know at this moment is how bad the liver shunt is and if he would even survive the surgery, he is 8 months old and barely 2.5 lbs. I also need to make sure before I get in this deep, if my heart can handle another round of health issues for years to come, if not I will turn them over to a rescue, its just this is a lot for me to take in so suddenly, it went from being happy to have something to hold and love, to this long list of things that are wrong. |

| I hate myself for supporting a puppy mill, I feel so guilty, and ashamed of myself, I am SO pro puppy mill and pet stores and back yard breeders. It is not these puppies fault, and Im trying to tell myself it is meant for me to save these 2, but I still have to live with the fact, even though I did get my money back, it still makes me sick to think, once again I was had because I went and purchased instead of going there, leaving, and doing research BEFORE going back to purchase, Im guilty of falling in love with dogs that seem to know I will help them. I will be there for these guys, and I will do the best I can. |

| Obviously they are brokers, not breeders, but it's impossible to tell from the website. Queen Yorkies Palace You found out the hard way that anyone can put together a slick website, but it doesn't guarentee the quality of the puppies. My heart breaks for you. My Lady is a rescue and has a laundry list of health issues. I adopted her at 4.5 years old and she had been healthy up until then. Her genetic "time bombs" started going off shortly after I adopted her and I have spent a fortune on her. I spend $5,000 a year just on medications and routine checkups to monitor her conditions. Unexpected illnesses/complications usually run another $1,000 plus. We've had two in 2009. Since yours are both puppies, I can't imagine how expensive it will be going forward with two dogs the same age since they are very likely carrying "genetic time bombs", too. It is very costly to own a poorly bred dog. The financial costs are nothing compared to the emotional costs of loving a chronically ill dog, though, as you found out with your Shepherd. I have been blessed to have Lady for 14 years, much longer than anyone (especially my vets) would have imagined. |
