Help.....On Feb. 19, 2014, my beloved Wolfgang died suddenly. He was a small Yorkie, and the love of our lives. He was 9 years old. I was so grief stricken that my hubby suggested I buy another Yorkie...I found a local breeder - Rose Hanson in Sun Valley California. Her website is myittybittyyorkies.com. I got our second Yorkie Axel in April. He was five months old. I paid $1500.00, $500 or more less, because he had allegedly been returned by the previous purchaser who did not have the time to deal with 2 new yorkies.
We discovered within days that he had a skin infection which she said was ringworm. The breeder sent him home with treatment for giardia and I went back to her for ringworm shampoo and ointment. I took him to our vet, had his skin tested and it was not ringworm. The doctor gave me different medication (for a bacterial infection) and it cleared up. The breeder refused to pay for the vet bills, but I am a lawyer and was actually happy my husband wasn't going to force me to duke it out in court. I get tired of people suing people.
I specifically purchased Axel un-neutered, so we can breed him, and my daughter was going to buy a female (for us....and not for a business). I contacted "natalies yorkies" on Rose's website to see if she had a female. In the meantime - I still have not received Axel's AKC papers. I received a text from Rose stating I purchased Axel as a "pet only" - and later a text saying she was waiting for proof he was neutered to send me his papers. Completely false. I am heartbroken because a) I trusted her; and b) I was willing to absorb vet bills she would have been responsible for because I get sick and tired of people being dishonest and having to hail people into court. Today, I was referred to the agency which licenses dog breeders - her name and address were on file and they said she is not registered nor licensed as a breeder. Can this be true? She has a website in California and at least 8 dogs....does this mean Axel cannot get AKC papers? I am hopeful the agency is wrong. My first baby - Wolfgang - came from Ron-Del Kennels in Oregon. Everyone knows they were stand up - and loved loved loved Yorkies. They were true to the breed and integrity. Does anyone know what agency I contact as a consumer? I am hopeful this is all some mix up......if you cannot trust people when buying a Yorkie then what is this world coming too. I am again heartbroken. | Update Yorkie Lovers:::::First, for clarification - My deceased yorkie Wolfgang DID NOT come from My Itty Bitty Yorkies - I purchased Wolfgang from Rondels Kennels in Oregan. Secondly, and most importantly - Rose of My Itty Bitty Yorkies is working to get me full AKC papers and allowing the purchase of breeding rights on my little Axel. Today was the first day we got to talk out our differences and understand what caused a breakdown in our communication. That's women for you....no offense to men on this site, but it were left to men there would have been a declaration of war!
Joking aside: as I have always said - her dogs were adorable, home impeccable - the dogs were playing with us, each other - and I was pleased with her as a breeder. I loved her dogs, and we connected....and it has bothered me to no end that I was not getting along with Axel's first mommy. In sum, I DID do my research contrary to the opinion of some of you, Rose is great (and as sensitive as I am) and above that.....my little Yorkie Axel is PERFECTION! :) God is good. |
