she bought the pup.........then wanted to return and after being so demanding insisted on then after coming to my house. She was a nutcase..i told her to KICK rocks with her weird personality. Her pup is gorgeous and healthy...did she say anything nice? Nope because she was just hung up on being hateful and aggressive......who needs to deal with those kinds? Not me. She bought a puppy and she'sd like people to think she saved him......not funny.

I am actually confused by the attack on the original poster. She said she felt guilty about talking her bf's brother out of purchasing the puppy. If a puppy is displaying out of the ordinary symptoms, even the breeder said he was a little spastic, and the breeder offers the puppy without papers should not you be a little careful? The breeders friends say the check out who gets their puppies so should not a new owner check out the breeder as well? I checked out the yelp reviews too. There are many happy customers who said that the breeder helped them with health issues. So why did the breeder family not explain the spastic condition better or offer have it cleared by a vet before final purchase? If the problem was not serious why not inform the original poster person here on YT that they were incorrect and explain to them why the puppy acts spastic. Then the poster and other owners would be more knowledgeable about the condition in case other puppies have it. I never saw once in the original post any accusation just questioning whether they did the right thing. Instead of correcting them about it they were accused of slander. Also in yelp you were going after someone with a lawyer who posted a negative review but who seemed to be willing to work with the breeder. I also wondered when the poster mentioned the dog there was confusion about which dog. Is that because more than one dog has this problem since I saw somewhere the father had it so it must be passed on to your litters. I am not attacking the breeder as I do not have the knowledge of good breeding practices. I am just questioning why the original poster was attacked not educated.

Thank you for making some really reasonable comments Buster.... Our kennel absorbed and rescued the largest ever Animal cruelty/animal hoarding case ever in Palo Alto this year..google it. We rescued 50 dogs and cats and re-homed every one of them at our own cost. Palo Alto reached out to us (because an officer met us at an event and I am the only USDA kennel certified to testify in abuse cases about the space requirement for animals) Every animal was to be Euthanize d and our family went above and beyond the call to PAY for the care and boarding of the animals until we could get them well. So MAY 27th we leased another private kennel and transported 27 Yorkie/maybe yorkie mixxes and 23 persian cats riddled with mange and ringworm. We spent $14,780.00 of our own money treating bad teeth, bleeding mouths, open sores and two pregnant yorkies(guess where Louie came from) My beautiful 19 yr.old daughter Alex slept overnight the first two weeks at the kennel with two of my other nieces and my sister's Stephanie and Golda watching over these babies with the help of Turlock veterinary and Sonora veterinary (who donated discounted vet care )(GOD BLESS them) My beautiful daughter gave herself blood poisoning accidentally because she must have inhaled some of the ringworm while trying to shave and dip 50 animals with volunteers. She was sick for 2 weeks from giving 24 hr care to these poor babies that had never been out of a cage. back to LOUIE~ he was the only survivor in one of the litters born to the rescue dog. When the "FEELING Guilty quoted the dog had no records ..she is sadly mistaken or just heard something she wanted too(again the martyr)because there has never been a more miracle puppy born into a better situation. Louie had more documentation than any dog I know........I just said quote -unquote that he did not have "papers" meaning AKC and that I cannot certify his long term health because he is a rescue puppy. Which is true. All the rescues now have been spayed and neutered and re-homed at a great loss but huge satisfaction to all the people involved. We held a massive rescue event and many people were on the list were surprised to get stacks of vet records with every dog. I personally help Louie back and molly coddled him because he was so small and special. It would have been a feeding frenzy and no adult yorkies would have gotten adopted if Louie had been at the adoption event. So, when I saw the sweet couple a week or two later in OCTOBER(that makes Louis about 11 weeks old) I thought to myself... this looks like a very nice home for hhim. They were not even looking for a dog but looked very well to do. I jokingly approached them and they did not even seem serious. Gosh, was i more wrong. They came back too late because Louie was gone to one of my older customers who was standing close by when I showed him to the couple. As soon as they left Marge jumped on me (as i knew most people would) and begged for him. Honestly, I have thousands into these dogs that I will never re-coup but I also threw in about a hundred dollars worth of Innova food and some very expensive clothing and a carrier...I feel very proud of our serious commitment to our animals but to call me a pet store when I'm not is ridiculous and rude and just Sinister. ya know, sometimes when i work at my sisters flower nursery i take a playpen of puppies to her store...does that make her a pet store? Sometimes when I work at my dad's Ford tractor repair shop, I take the playpen of puppies and let customers pet them and hand out card too...does that make it a pet shop? hm maybe. I've never bought, sold or shipped a dog in my life. But it is my recipe how I show and exhibit and socialize my dogs and I am a tax paying citizen and I take better care of my animals and they live better than 99% of the humans walking this earth. I get to show my little dogs in a boutique that sits right next to Versace and Ann Taylor because I am the BEST at what I do...so stuff that in your pipe and smoke it . To everyone else, C'mon down and meet my family and some of the very prettiest nice pups in the bay. They are my pride and joy and I do everything I do in the light of DAY...nothing SHADY. But buyer beware..I'm one tough cookie and these are my babies. ...the writer is just mad that when they came back and said 'we'll take it , " it was tooooo late. ha ha too bad , so sad..I'm glad. See what kind of whiners they turned out to be and all the hub bub they tried to cause . I rescued 50 animals this year and if you google my name .. this is the stuff that comes up. BTW...I did it for the love of the dogs.

he was a rescuer pup with all documentation..no pup leaves us without vet checks/records/ we are very professional. The original poster was mistaken. What was said is ..this is a rescue pup for $350.00. Not one of mine but a pup born into our kennel on a huge rescue effort, I cannot guarantee the long term health ...but vet checks say he is perfect. All pups too young to spay/neuter get back a $250.00 rebate for spaying/neutering..so that made the pup $100.00 after all was said and done. Had he been a registered pup he would have been at least $1500.00 ..he is gorgeous but not one of my bloodlines. he is happy healthy and doing wonderful... thanks for caring.

She got a gorgeous yorkie-poo from MY mom(not me) and forgot her records and wrote us to say she wanted a pup for $300 not a penny more and if we did not give her a refund she would ruin us.....I told her Oh please try and I'll sue you . 1 yelp in a few decades....fine. We're cool with the many happy people who KNOw and love us. Merry Christmas.

She was the first to review, as stated on yelp and that was in January of this year 2010.

Can you explain all of the filtered reviews? Reviews don't filter for no reason.

i wouldn't pay a penny more than $300 for a mix either. Much less actually

If I had so many dogs to be on the usda list, I wouldn't be able to keep track of them all either.

Anyone who has ever sold a pup has NIGHTMARE customer stories....I know I have a couple that you just cannot make happy short of coming over to their house and poop scooping their yard and mowing their grass.....Are there any real people out here in this blog that are actually human? jump in anytime folks...Merry Christmas.

The yelper said her puppy may have a liver shunt. that's healthy??

I agree with you on this one issue so please, stop being hateful and aggressive towards ME in your private messages.

I do not take back anything I have said and I know that you will never be satisfied until I make some sort of public apology for you. I will not do that because I have not done anything wrong. So let's end this here and move on with our lives.

Good for you. Stand up for your posts, you may have helped steer away potential victims from this USDA commercial multiple breed/mixed breed breeder.

Over the weekend, my boyfriend and I went to visit his family in San Jose. My boyfriend has a twin brother who has a 3 year old Silky Terrier and he and his wife are currently searching for a little yorkie pup. His wife found out that a certain breeder in their area would be doing an adoption event that weekend we were there at a doggy accessory store at a local mall so we agreed to go with them (Let me clarify that is was not a pet shop that sold any kind of live animal). When we got there, they fell in love with the cutest little guy ever. When asked about his price, the breeder just kept saying she would give a "crazy good deal" to whoever wanted him. There were four yorkies there total that day, two from the same litter, one from a different litter, and the one my bf's brother and wife fell in love with who also came from a different litter. Just hearing that they had so many different litters at one time made me a bit suspicious. What also made me confused was the fact that she was saying that the puppies were one price but when she walked away and her daughter came, the daughter said a dramatically higher price (for example: the one we all liked was originally $500 but when a different group asked, the daughter told them $900). When the breeder saw that my bf's brother and wife might actually buy him, she said she would sell the puppy for $350 cash with no papers or health guarantee. We could hear her muttering to her daughter "I am not coming home with puppies today...I have a new litter coming in that I need to make room for." My bf's brother didn't want to pass up on the deal (because that's a pretty crazy deal...) BUT the reason why he was going for so cheap was because he had, what the breeder called, a "spastic" thing about him. Meaning, he was always jittery. It wasn't because he was cold or anything, she just said he's always full of energy and just has these shakes to him. We eventually persuaded my bf's brother and wife not to get the puppy because I just found her too suspicious with all the comments she was making (it really seemed like she didn't care about them at all despite the fact that she kept saying, "These are my babies!").

I tried researching what could cause these "spastic" movements of his but came up with nothing. He was an adorable puppy with the most beautiful face I've seen...but something just didn't feel right about the situation and the breeder. I did do some research on her after I came home and found a sad review about her here on YorkieTalk so I do feel better for telling my bf's brother and wife that I didn't think they should purchase that puppy. But I still feel a little guilty because his wife was so in love with the puppy. She didn't mind that he was "special" and was willing to take extra care of him so I do feel bad about it but I just didn't think everything added up.

Anyways, sorry for the long post. Just wondering what you guys would have done if you were in my position? And if anyone here has a yorkie who is like the one we saw (jittery all the time)? I'm still so curious about what could be the cause for it. I'm thinking it's something neurological but I'm not sure.

You did the right thing...now it is up to them to make the decision. : )

My name is Maggie and I'd be happy to show my Louie to any nay Sayers. You are all very mean people. I must say how much I really appreciated Kelly attitude over many poele that are snooty patooty in this business. I am though going to tell her about these haters writing evil things. I believe her husband is the District Attorney in San Jose and would like to know that someone who did not get a dog from them is on a mission to hurt them and their family.

Normally you don't wind up being licensed and inspected UNLESS you are selling large quantities of pups and more often because you are selling wholesale to pet stores and brokers. The small breeders, breeding for quality and not profit do not have to get involved with the USDA licensing and inspection routines. Puppymills and large scale breeders do.

The District Attorney for Santa Clara County (San Jose is the city and as such uses the county DA) is a WOMAN! So, I don't think you have your facts right unless it is an unconventional marriage using "husband" as a term.

I thank you for your service -- I too am a vet -- retired Navy (22 years active). Hardly think it a good entrance to say everyone here are mean people. We have some of the most compassionate, caring, and charitable people in the world as YT members.

It was specific things from the first post that we spoke to. I still believe what I wrote. If those things were said and done, it was wrong. Woundn't matter who did it -- still wrong.
