Rose, is it okay to ask who Blu's parents, grandparents are? My husband and I are very concerned for Izzy now! I can't help but worry....she is sleeping and I just keep watching her breath.

Thanks for the info, Rose...I will go check it out right now. I know that I have already told you this, but I truly so sorry for your loss. Blu was a precious boy....I even opened his picture for my husband to see. Please know that you are in my thoughts....you have been all day! I have felt guilty for not posting my experience with Stephanie sooner. Maybe it could have helped....

This is not totally about the breeder and I want this to be a learning tool
when I get the results back on blu Rip my boy
I can share how he behaved and the sign and symptom maybe that will help other's this dog could have had a stroke or a blood clot or a heart attack who knows
I just know I am going off what my vet has said and there was an under lying problem to begin with we just never saw it coming
I always thought blu had an odd way about him but you know how are precious yorkies are they can be different with there demeanor I am hoping it was not a genetic thing and it was just something that cannot be passed on I just do not know I thought about it all night and he just did not act any different yesterday morning my vet feels his death was instant and there was nothing I could have done he did not choke on anything his pee and poo was normal in the morning as I watched him miss the pad again lol

blu was my pedestal dog to say it was hey mom what are ya doing or don't step back I am behind you or oh no not another bath let me hide but you can still see me
or is it bedtime yet can I get the treat bag please can I have 2 or there is a stranger in the house can I bite them he loved a great challenge he was a bull dog in a little body or how about a car ride today he was one of the greatest little dogs I have ever owned and he will be with me a very long time he made you love him he was a very demanding little fellow i really think he was part clown
so now he can run and jump and roll and get dirty if he wants and I am ok

I will share the necropsy report with steph what she does from there I cannot not control I just know I will not ever answer and email or a phone call it is my job to make sure my puppy and dog owners are happy I realize you cannot please everyone but you can at least try
I am not going to always please everyone but I have to know in my heart I have done what is right for me and my program I like my sleep when I can get it I hope all of you that have brynstar dogs may they live a very long and healthy life
I do believe that sometimes as much home work we do and research some things are meant to happen no matter what we do the future is never to be seen until it happens and it is what we do with it from there

You know what my theory is on Blu and if that's the case I hope that there is some justice for him. We won't truly know until the report comes back, but whatever it is don't think for a second that it was your fault. You did nothing but love that baby and give him a wonderful home! I sit here looking at GoGo who came from you...and she is such a spoiled brat ;), it is more than obvious to me what kind of great loving home she came from. So don't you dare say this was your fault, I know better! You are a good, honest, and highly reputable breeder and the world needs more like you! :thumbup:

I agree, I spent the weekend with Rose and Blu and a few of her other pups, Blu adored and idolized Rose and she can get a dog to pay attention to her in about 1 minute. Rose really has a gift with dogs. Again I am so sorry about this - Blu was a very special little boy and Rose is a great momma and she tries her best to breed for health. I have one of her pups and she came to me with the best personality and attitude. God Bless you Rose

I groom a yorkie, all black, curly, like you can't believe. The curls are not just only on his body, but all over his head. It takes hours to dry him out, because even though I keep him pretty short, he mats horribly and I refuse to cut a dog down unless my clippers will glide through the coat. I've often wondered if he was a poodle/yorkie mix, but never had the nerve to present that thought to the owner. She does love her boy and I'd do nothing to upset her.

I just lost my show dog which is a brynstar dog and he was a year and a half old he was fine this morning and just killed over dead about and hour ago blu has been sent for a necropsy he was sold to me on a show and breeding contract now let's go back to the very beginning
when i bought blu it was for a show dog when he was shipped to me
he was shipped with an open font that was not diclosed to me until after he arrived and i called and asked steph about this and she said yes her vet had found it but neglected to call me and tell me before she shipped him
she did not give me the courtesy of refusing the dog because of this
problem i guess she did not think i would find it
i wrote her recently and told her i had breed blu and he produced an open font pup and he was in the works to be neutered she has not returned my emails or my phone calls
i am very devastated right at this moment and have no clue why my boy
dropped dead i guess i will know in about 10 day's

My vet says she has the best knees he has ever felt in a Yorkie, she bile acid and blood paneled perfectly, strong heart, perfect vision and hearing, strong hips, good bite with no retained baby teeth, etc. She is the one that had her first litter of puppies at 2 years old in 2009 and they are all super healthy just like their mom. I have had no issues with this line whatsoever so far.

Rothby is a very good and well respected line. The breeder just passed in 2009, sadly.

Rose, I know this must have been heartbreaking for you to show and champion this little dog with the open font and then have it drop dead. I was ready to cry when I read that it had just fell over like this. Anyway, did you ever get the necropsy results?
You must have worked long hours to get him to this point and I know you must just be still sad about it. Did you keep any of his babies to show? And if so, how are they doing in the ring?
Was just wondering how the necropsy turned out.

i finds this very interesting that it was brought up after this length of time
blu's font was very small and closed by 6 months none of his siblings had one
blu had a very apple head and was very baby faced
as far as champion i do not know you and where you are getting your facts from yes he was shown in akc but never championed i do not consider his ukc champion ship something to brag about it is more of practice showing to me

as far as his one and only breeding all three pups were petted out no breeding rights and all have been s/n and are doing well no issues to date and they are all close to a year old now why would i continue to continue the line knowing what i know of blus condition with his heart
i kept nothing out of his lines and all puppy homes were made aware of blue's death and i will stand behind this breeding if something was to show up with one of these 3 pups 2 live within 5 miles of me so i may be able to keep in contact with them and one went to a very dear friend
as far as a breeder i am very small i have had maybe 8 litters in 6 years
i get only 2 to 3 pups per litter and i only breed one or twice a year at most
i have spent many dollars testing my dogs read for your self where i lost a pup to liver shunt testing
i will say
if you are a hound for some one i am willing to play i never showed blue with an open font it was closed please get your facts straight
but i am pretty sure you do not want to go there it is funny to me that this be brought up after someone was just reviewed on this very subject open font and i would take a wild guess where your info has come from
as there is very few people that know my business

as far as blues necropsy he died from a cardiomyopathy
a heart condition and i am very sad by this but it is in the yorkie more than we realize
and another genetic fault that many are unaware of

but thank you for asking
and i do not feel i need to answer to anyone as i always do the right thing no matter what i take care of my pet owners always if a problem arises
and i have had only one problem arise in 7 years and it was due to a puppy being given a lepto shot
