found maci's breeder! so the day i brought maci home i immediately decided to see if i could track down her breeder via. the sire and dam's names on her registration. sure enough i found them! they remember her! she seems like an awesome lady, we're friends on the good ol' facebook now and she is going to send me pictures of maci and her littermates as puppies. Maci was pick of the litter and held until she was a little older, but because she never grew the proper coat she was sold as a pet to the people I got her from. This lady has given me a lot of great advice already, i can tell i already have a lifetime of breeder support! A lot of what she has to say, I've even read on here... although I haven't asked if she's a YT member yet haha. But I'm very happy about what I've read on the lady's website, and the fact that she shows her yorkies and does not just breed them. They have had quite a few champions, and some of them are the most gorgeous dogs! She has told me of two pups that she has spent over 3000$ on, only to sell them for less than half that to perfect homes, I envy that. She has also told me she will see if any of her show-friends now any yorkie groomers near us and has given me info on pet insurance and dental work! She has been doing this for over 25 years and honestly, if I ever decide to get Maci a li'l fur sibling I know exactly where to look first :D I just wanted to say how happy I am to have a dog from a great breeder and from a breeder who is there for us even though we aren't the initial buyers! I feel like I bought Maci off her, she is just so nice to us! |
That is awesome! |
Oh wow, I so very happy for you and Maci. I know ithas to give you much comfort to know she came for a good breeder. So many out there don't, she is one lucky girl. :) |
That is awesome most breeders could care less about the pups after the money is in their hand n pup is gone! She sure is lucky What's her website love to check her pups out |

Thats awesome :) |
Thanks guys :) she and I are very lucky because even though I didn't pay the 1600 for her originally or ever meet the breeder she is already offering so much great advice &help! It's quite comforting! I will send you her site later maci has had me up since 4:00ish lol so I am just checking my YT quick! :) |
Awwwwwww..... That is Great!:thumbup: I still keep in touch with Riley's breeder via email and Facebook. :) |
I am glad that you are getting the support and help of the breeder. My concern however, is how the heck did this pup get resold by the original buyer or I would assume it was the original buyer. Most show breeders contracts that i know of require absolutely that a pup be returned to them or a dog if it is older. REsale is prohibited and under my contract a substantial fine can be sought by me if someone resells or even gives away one of my puppies or dogs. I do have a few people that have agreements with me as to who gets the dog if something happens to them but I know everyone involved. |

Lorraine... actually this is one reason i also sought out her breeder, i had a feeling there was a contract involved due to her being champion sired, cost $1600 pet only, and that she was from showing lines. the previous owner had informed the breeder that they may possibly need a new home for Maci, but I guess didn't actually tell them they did it. The breeder did tell me about the contract, but said she felt good about me and that if I was ever in her area to come by for a visit as she'd love to meet me, and I could meet some of Maci's fur family! She has been great in this situation, as she knows and has kept contact with Maci's other owners for the past 2 years and knows they loved her a lot and wouldn't just give her to anyone, and the fact that I did try to contact her with in 48 hours of having Maci showed that I cared too. I am sure in a different situation with an owner the breeder didn't keep contact with as much or didn't know as much about the home, yes she probably would have been more upset and possibly enforced her contract. However she is working with me to make sure I am doing everything to be a perfect home! She has given me a lot of advice from dentals, to vaccines, to diet etc... a lot of what I already knew from reading here but some was new and helpful. :D Munchki... PetSecure is supposed to be the best in Canada. Their prices and coverages are more than reasonable too! |

Only exception my DIL( Who is an Lawyer), mentioned was a CO-OWNed Swissy and the judge ordered the defendant to pay 1/2 of the $1,300. he sold the dog for, to the co-owner. My contracts says the dog has to be returned to me, to be rehomed if they can not keep the dog for any reason. I also have a spay and neuter clause. I can NOT make them do either. Once I sell them the dog it is theirs by law. Their property. I can not sue them for custody or require them to follow through with any medical procedure. |
I believe what Teresa said goes for most states/provinces. If a person is providing care, food, shelter, water for an animal then in almost any case [especially if they have paid for it], it is theirs. If neglect can be proven then usually an animal will be surrendered or taken by authorities... whether the breeder will get the dog or a shelter just depends... I've been in a case like this with a foster dog, and if it does make it to court it can be messy and sad. Some cases may hold up in court if say, I was boarding Maci at a kennel for a month and I come back and she is missing. Mind you, I will never leave Maci at a kennel or with any "pet sitter" whom I do not know very personally or who is family. I think a good owner who has a good reputable breeder will often times be more than willing to honor the contract. In Maci's case I believe her owners were scared the breeder would be upset/disappointed that they couldn't keep her... but so far we are all getting along and no one seems upset. Maci's registration is even getting transferred to my name as well as her chip info and vet records. So I could have just gotten lucky to have easy people to work with... I know that if anything EVER happens and I can't keep Maci I would trust her with the breeder and respect that contract despite the fact I never actually signed it. But I plan on making Maci a part of our family in any circumstance, I believe a dog is just as big of a commitment as a child. |
Do you mind sharing her website? |
