| Natalie Nelson Hello yorkie lovers . I have a quick question and I will appreciate any input. After sharing a horribly sad experience that I've had with my puppy and the breeder ( Natalie Nelson) I received a letter on her behalf FORBIDDING me to share my story online - though it's 100% truth because " it can be affecting her business" I'm assuming that went towards my yorkie talk posts trying to make people aware of what I experienced. USUALLY lawyers WANT the truth. Why doesn't this one want mine? Actually he was decent and listened to MY experience as I've reported on the Internet. Now he's informed. What's all your take on this? Please let me know. |

| Why the heart in your title ? IMO it should be a dagger. If I were jilted by a breeder, you can bet my story WOULD be told & copies of ALL vet reports & bills would be posted as well. |

| The only reason you would have to worry is if what you said was not true. It's only slander or defamation if untruths are told to intentionally hurt someone's business, or if you made some kind of confidentiality agreement with her in a settlement. If your story about your pup is the truth, you have absolutely nothing to worry about, as she would not be able to get any kind of judgement against you for giving honest customer feedback. That is what all those review sites and such are for. If I had a pup that was sick or died after I purchased it, you can bet I would warn others. Don't let her scare you into silence, she has probably used this threatening tactic in the past and its worked so she continues. Can she file a lawsuit against you? Sure, anyone can file anything they want, but can she win ? Not if your story is true, as the truth always wins. I would not let her intimidate you like that. You can threaten her with harassment especially after your emotional situation she has made you go through. I would fight fire with fire with an person such as this. |

IF she files suit against you...which would be a BIG "IF," take all of your documents to court with you. I personally don't think she'd have the balls to file suit because SHE is not going to want to be put under a microscope and have her shady behavior exposed. She's just trying to scare you into silence. I bet it's worked before so she thinks she can do it again. Her suing you would be like Kmart suing someone for complaining that the lines are always too long...or Burger King suing someone when they talked about how they found a hair in their food. You BOUGHT a puppy from her, therefore you are a consumer of her business and you have a right to share your experience about her. It would be one thing if you were spreading a bunch of lies, but you are talking about your experience. If I were you, I'd keep shouting about her from the rooftops!! What you are doing is obviously working if she contacted you and she asked you to stop. Hopefully it does negatively effect her business. Hopefully people will hear your story and they will think twice about buying one of her sick little pups. I hope that she's no longer able to rip anyone else off. Speaking of, did you fill out a rip off report? I'd definitely do that. Perhaps you could also call the humane society in your/her area. I am sure they'd love to hear about he breeding program.

| Thank you again for the advice and replies . I do not know how that heart icon got before natalies name it was honestly not intended. As for the tips you have all given I am working on all of them. I can't wait to look on dogster and read even more. I wish so much I did all this research BEFORE I bought my angel. ( Even though she's perfect) |

Sunnydayz post is 100% accurate, you are speaking from your experience, not just spreading lies, can she sue you for defamation of character, yes, will she win NO, as Sunnydayz posted you as a consumer are speaking of YOUR EXPERANCE, as long as you are telling the truth it is NOT SLANDER, your telling of the truth MAY be hurting her business, if it is good, she should be STOPPED. She is a BULLY and I am sure has scared other ppl into not talking against her. If what you say is the truth, you are BY LAW, are allowed you tell of your experience, it is NOT SLANDER nor defamation of character, Don't let this woman scare you into NOT TELLING THE TRUTH to as many ppl as you can reach. I feel so bad for you that you are under going all this bull crap. Keep us posted. (((hugs)))

| Bad breeder Natalie always threatens, she's a bully. It's just a cheesy scare tactic, there's no merit to her threats, I speak from experience. Telling the truth is NOT a bad thing, in fact, make sure you file your complaints somewhere online so people googling her will find your unfortunate story. If you search online and here you will find at least a dozen who have been through what you've been through and I'm sure there are so many more that don't report the many health problems they experience with her bad breeding practices. She charges super high prices for very sick little dogs.

| The fact that she is aware that you are telling your story is great! I think you should be shouting to everybody what a horrible person this is. Just think, if someone who had a similar experience a few years before you had been very public about it, you may have never been in this situation! I would be trying to get as much publicity as it takes to shut her down--wouldn't you love to prevent this for future puppies and families?

| Natalie Nelson's Yorkies Good morning everyone!!!! On valentines day I posted a very sad story. I thought for sure my puppy wasn't going to make it after being so sick with AAl. She had her final follow up appointment yesterday and finally got the cast off her neck.(she had it on most of her life ) miraculously, the vet told me that she is now 100% perfect!! She can live her life with no restrictions, like a normal puppy!! My family is so ecstatic and I can't believe the change in her little self lol besides being so incredibly spoiled she thinks she's a St. Bernard. Fearless. I often wonder what she thinks, does she know how sick she was, or remember not being able to walk? Or the groomer quitting her job after working on her cause she couldn't stand at all? It's been a long haul and I am counting my blessings today. I'm so sorry for all of you that lost your pets to AAl. ( any loss ) thank you for all your well wishes and prayers again. Have a wonderful weekend! |
