Yes........mommas can and do eat their young, as will other dogs that are allowed to "visit" with newborns....They can accidently eviscerate the puppy, trying to chew the cord off....I always do my own cords and then allow mom to clean puppy off.....and all females are watched very, very closely for any abherrant behavior towards any of the babies.....especially maidens.

Sounds like dog abuse. I would report her to Animal Control. Those facilities need a good investigation and she needs some education by the authorities. It sounds as if she has way more dogs than she can adequately even begin to care for properly. Dogs should never have to live cramped up in cages or in a filth-filled home! They deserve to live free, a good and fun dog's life of fetching balls and sticks and running in the yard chasing squirrels and cats, napping evenings by the fire with mommie or daddy and tucked up for the night with love, getting several daily walks and presents for birthdays and Christmas - just like the family member a dog should be. Horrible picture in my mind about how you described that house and those dogs' quarters. Reading about dogs having to live their lives cramped up in cages like zoo animals or something goes against every fiber of my being. Why does she have so many?

I agree !

If these dogs are living in filth, cramped cages and are not being cared for properly someone needs to be informed and this person needs a visit by the proper authorities !!

Did you check with the AKC to see if she is a registered breeder

and sells multiple and cross breeds, I think you got what's that word when you put a screw through a piece of wood

did you report her to the authorities

I completely understand why you want your AKC papers. When I rescued my Yorkie, he had been registered with the AKC but because his old owner would not surrender the papers. Because he had been in the animal shelter, the AKC wouldn't release the papers because he was no longer "pure bred material". As a law student and future attorney who wants to work in animal law, the AKC papers don't prove purchase of sale and they don't do much of anything unless you would like to show the dog or be recognized at your local AKC kennel.

I know this will make several people mad, but the AKC doesn't even guarantee health of the dog and they honestly mean nothing but more $$$$. I can't even report the old owners of my dog to the AKC as people not to allow to buy breeds anymore even though they threw him out to the coyotes quite literally.

Sorry I didn't read the above messages about the deplorable conditions. But unfortunately that is happening all around the country with puppy mills.

AKC-registered breeders raising dogs in 'miserable' conditions - TODAY.com

This really opened my eyes on what the AKC has become :(

This is just another example of why it's so important to establish a good relationship with you breeder before committing to purchasing a puppy. Many are still out there who don't give a hoot about you or the puppy once they have your money,

WOW...you are right about it being an eye opener! They only have 9 inspectors for the whole country!!! :eek: Not even close to what I think is nearly enough. I'm just really speechless right now...

I know right! It makes me very very sad :( I believe all dog breeders should want to breed out of the goodness of their heart, to make the breed better, and make lifelong companions and best friends. Sounds like that lady in Colorado has lost the message. :(

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
And if you are dealing with a breeder that is TRULY committed to her breed and her dogs, she will be establishing a relationship with YOU before she entrusts her dogs to you! If your breeder is not that attentive and inquisitive and concerned....run! Because, as some "breeders" see it, the "problem" with establishing a relationship with someone you sell a puppy to, is if that baby gets sick later down the line, these new owners are going to come looking for you to help them.....they certainly dont want to be setting themselves up for problems in the future....!!!! So be sweet, cordial, get that puppy sold, then get scarce.....

It sounds like I am very lucky that I come out with a very good dog!

I did not mention that after we had Tawny a short time we had to take her to the vet with a very very bad stomach ailment. At that time we had her completely tested and everything was okay. After this stomach problem was solved and $700, she is in excellent health.

Did you call the "authorities" about what was going on there? You need to do something about this...please update.

Oh boy....yet another....this is just awful, puppymill after puppymill...is there going to be an end?...

So True Judy !
Every puppy Abba Daddy fathers I feel like I am their GrandYorkiema. I send, emails, photos and birthday cards. I take phone calls day or night and answer any questions I can . I love it when I get pictures and updates. My friends Kathy and Marilyn may own the Mamas but it takes two to make puppies ! And they love having a midwife helper and trainer at their beck and call. Breeders that care are there when you need them.

How she can claim to be Christian when she abuses these little creatures? Is there no way to shut these places down?! :(

Have there always been so many bybs, puppy mills and brokers? Or is this just really hitting in the last few years? It just seems so rampant now. It could be that I'm becoming more educated and I just didn't know what to look for before coming here. I don't know. But, its awful and it makes me literally cry when I picture the sweet babies in cages and filth. Then I get angry and don't know what to do. But, I feel like I'm just as guilty as they are if I don't do anything. I remember when our malls in Memphis used to have pet stores that sold dogs and other small animals. They've been closed for years. So how do you go about finding these people?

Why don't you call and follow up and ask them if they have helped those dogs yet. If not, I'd call a newspaper and a couple of local TV stations and tell them about what is going on with that breeder with dogs living in filth and I doubt they spend a great deal of time out of those cages except when people come on the property.

While there have always been problems with the breeding of purebred animals the rage for small sized dogs has made things much worse. Raising small breed dogs has become a sort of "cottage industry" in this country. Between the back yard breeders and the puppy mills there are just way too many animals being abused with this sort of careless, irresponsible breeding.
There still are malls with pet stores that sell puppies and most of them have an AKC litter registration slips. The majority of puppy mills and BYB's in this country are members in good standing with AKC. AKC has nothing to do with the quality of a pet. It is merely a piece of paper that is only as good as the breeder that possesses it.

I always thought that AKC even guaranteed the health because when we adopted our black lab as a kid she was for 2 years, but that was just the breeder. When I went puppy hunting the last 2 months I realized it meant nothing more than more money :-( It's a shame puppies cost $1000 upwards with that paper attached with no guarantee. More people should rescue and just go to their local shelters. I found Toby that way and he's purebred, a little older so I could judge his health and temperament plus he was housebroken which was huge for me. A lot of times they won't place their purebreds online so it's a joy to find out :-)

I totally agree that rescuing a mixed or purebred is a wonderful idea. There are shelters out there with many pets that families have had give up for various reasons. There are also private rescues that have many animals that need homes.
When you want a specific breed for a specific reason it is best to find a real profession breeder and bypass the pet stores, puppy mills and backyard breeders. Why support people who basically ruin truly beautiful breeds? Put them out of business! I gladly pay a truly good, experienced breeder $1200 to $1500 for a pet quality puppy. If the breeder has spent years creating a healthy, genetically sound line of purebreds that have great personalities and have been properly socialized then it is money well spent. Giving any money to the others is a waste and supports the degeneration of the breed.
Rescue and adoption are wonderful ways of getting a new family member and I highly recommend it to people who are open to doing so.

It's the same in the UK too :mad: The amount of Chihuahuas and Chihuahua crosses being bred is disgusting!!!! It just breaks my heart as you can tell folks are only doing it to make money from their pets :( And the amount of adverts you see saying ''Not Kennel Club registered as we want these pups to go to pet homes'' :confused: Or, as one advert I saw a few weeks ago stated - for a litter of Chihuahua pups ''£600 or £950 for kennel club papers'' :eek: An extra £300 for a registered puppy???????? :mad:

I find it VERY hard not to reply to these ads and give them a piece of my mind!!!!! :mad:

When I first designed my website, I wanted to put a very special Bible verse on my site, because it had come to me in a dream 30+ years ago....little did I know what it was 30+ years ago, and then one day, 2004, when I saw a gorgeous painting in an art book (which happens to be the avitar on a YT member here!...the little girl pushing the antique carriage with the Yorkies in it) and decided I needed that painting in my office.....the phrase under the painting in the book, was something like "For the love of Yorkies....". I thought that was perfect! So, I ordered the painting! When I got that painting, which was destined to hang in the office of my Yorkie nursery, the phrase under the painting was NOT what it had been in the book I ordered it from....the phrase was Jeremiah 29:11...."I know the plans I have for you....Plans to give you Hope and a Future".....which was the phrase from that dream, written on a piece of paper, that had blown across a field and landed at my feet, 30+ years ago! I insisted that be put on my website and my mentor who does my website, fussed and fussed because she told me it was sooo common for people to wrap themselves up in the Bible, all over their site, professing to be Christians...and they are nothing but con artists and scammers....she did not want to have anything on my site that would portray me as a possible scam artist. I told her the story behind this verse in my life and she admitted, it had to go on the site!! Way toooooo much of a coincidence she thought! So, unfortunately, you have to be very careful of people quoting Bible scripture and professing to be Christians.....they do that in all kinds of businesses, thinking it gives them an appearance of honesty and integrity and ethics.....unfortunately, it does to many, many people....dont fall victim to that.....dont think just because they SAY they are Christians, that they are.....
