Did I Buy From A BYB??? After everything I've read on here, I'm questioning whether Jasper came from a BYB. Will someone check out the website and give me your thoughts. Please? I feel like I need to know and let my vet to as well. I can tell you that there were kennels behind her home in a large chain linked fenced in area. There were no dogs outside that we saw or heard. The pups were in the home along with a 2 yr old female. We did not meet the parents. We did not hear any other animals in the house. The site is yorkiepupsrus.com. Thanks for any help. |
for me not a ton of red flags but the dams there is one under five pounds and the sirs are all under 5 pounds. technically a "good breeder" will not use any of 5 pounds from what ive read on threads here. im sure others will chime in. in not really sure if this is classified as a byb or not. if your baby is healthy that is what matters most. :) |
I'm not sure, someone else may be able to check that for you. I just have a question, what was the reason for not meeting the parents? |
Thank you and so far he has had no.problems. Guess I just got paranoid with so many out there. Its really scary when you think it about it. |
She didn't offer for us to meet the parents and I didn't know any better, at the time, to ask. :( |
it is very scary and im glad no health issues to date. did you have a bloodwork panel done??? i believe this is a good double check. sorry meant to add you shouldve met the parents that another red flag to me but i am no where near educated on this as the long time yt's. so well see what they add. |
The female in the nursery is Jasper's sister. She has dropped the price on her twice. Jasper's name was "Felix" in that litter. |

Not enough info. Don't like the name of it, lack of info bothers me....the fact that you are wondering bothers me too...means you have no communication. |
No I have not had a blood panel done. He gets his last shots tomorrow and I can have the blood drawn then. Thanks for bringing that up. :) |
Well, a few things, They are in Arkansas and I don't see any recommended breeders by the YTCA in Arkansas. They don't mention anything about a health guarantee so I'd need answers to that - did you get one? What did it say? How old was Jasper when you were allowed to pick him up? AKC registered doesn't always mean, best breeder. They link to AKC, which is good, but I am not liking that one of their ladies is not only under FIVE lbs..she is barely over THREE. I wouldn't have bought from them knowing what I know now. How's Jasper? Which two were his parents? |
I wouldn't call her a BYB, She does have one female that is under 5 pounds but that doesn't make her a BYB. |
Also, can someone tell me what "AKC DNA Certified" stands for? Does this mean that they were allowed to register with the AKC based on DNA proven purebred testing? (not via past AKC lineage papers)?? |
No health guarantee was given. I signed a form stating I would have him checked out by a vet within 72 hours. We picked Jasper up at 11 weeks old. But, we could have gotten him at 10. His parents are Mindee and Levi Garrett. Oh, Jasper was micro-chipped. |
She gave me an AKC registration form for me to fill out. If that tells you anything. |
