I agree Hi this is Meagan. My husband and I are going back and forth posting from the same name. Thank you Jenskwan for your comments. I appreciate you wanting to defend your friend. I never put her down for being a good friend or a good person. I made sure I was careful with my wording because that was not my intention. My intentions are to have her honor her signed contract agreement. That is all. I have tried to reach out so we can move on. Im sorry if you take offense from the support I have received from here but I was left no choice. If she trusts you enough to post for her then maybe she would trust you if you told her to do what she agreed to and the right thing. Did she show you then the paperwork I sent? Do you need me to scan it to you so you can see it in black and white for yourself? I am sorry Jen but there is no argument. Its plain as day. I had a puppy with a congenital disease (which i never blamed her for because that would be silly) who passed away from it. I had a autopsy to confirm that. I have a signed agreement stating I would get a refund or replacement if this happened ,which I have not received still. This is breech of contract. Maybe you can help her see this? These posts are not to blame her but hold her responsible. Thank you. |

Hello. My name is Cheryl. I am so look sorry for your loss. It is a shame how all goes well as long as you yourself are not the one doing the breaching of the contract. If the roles were reversed and you breeched then the other person would be all over you. People really should put themselves in the other person's shoes and honor agreements. Right is right and it doesn't wrong anyone. You lived up to your end of the contract at, I am sure, great cost to you. I admire how you and your husband have not taken to smearing her reputation in any way. If she had lived up to her signed contract, one she drew up herself I might add, this story would never have been posted here. You would be whole. Still hurting from the loss of your beloved Cash, but whole. My prayers are with you. |

If a breeder does not honor her contract, she is not reputable. Even online, her posted buyer agreement (which has red flags galore and should send any potential purchaser running) states if a puppy dies before a year of age due to a congenital defect, diagnosed as such by an autopsy, a replacement puppy will be provided. (Again a red flag here, as any legitimate breeder understanding the devastating emotional toil such events has on a pet owner routinely provides EITHER a replacement puppy OR a full refund, at the BUYERS preference). The pup died at less than a year of age. Michigan State Veterinary labs (a premiere laboratory & research facility in the nation) diagnosed it as a congenital liver disease. The breeder should not have to be dragged to the plate to step up to her end of the agreement. That this situation escalated to this point due to breeders negligence in promptly addressing the problem, speaks volumes to her lack of character, in my opinion. |

Future buyers beware of this breeder is the thought of the day. |
Zook4mud, I am so very sorry for the loss of your little one. That alone is such a heartbreak, when you fall in,love with them and cannot help them survive. I am also sorry that it has been so difficult to get the refund that is clearly due to you. I do hope that the breeder will quickly step up and settle this. If she is as wonderful and benevolent as her media rep claims, then she should already have your check in the mail to you. If it turns out she is not as honorable then evey future possible buyer will easily find this out by Internet searches. If she specializes in breeding tinies then I would guess that this is not her first loss. |
This comment is in response to the other posting the breeder's friend left in another thread here at YT. Quote:

While we're waiting to hear of a resolution, other forums and review sites will be filled with bits of info for google. To the OP, if you haven't already done so, I think there is a spot on this thread where you can actively tag it to google searches. Someone else would have better info on that. |
I hope you dont feel bad for anything posted here you are out alot of money and emotional angish and this breeder has treated you very unfairly and unprofessionally. Its interesting this spokesperson didnt know both sides of the story yet she is going to come here and chastise us for posting about this breeder. The breeder is free to come here and share her side of the story no one is stopping her. Or she can just get ahold of you and make right this wrong. Either way you have every right to be upset and you have every right to post about it no matter the responses you get. Im hoping since there hass been a posting from this spokesperson the breeder will do the right thing and refund your money for the purchase price and vet bills |
Thanks I just want to take a second to thank you all who have read, shared and responded to our posts. This support is helping us in ways I dont think we thought we needed. We do hope this "pressure" helps her see what she should do as well. We will continue to post and keep you all updated Thank you again |
I was able to add two "tags" to this thread. "yorkie" and "yorkshire terrier", I think that makes it more visible to google. If so, this thread should come up more often when someone is researching a yorkie breeder. I was only allowed two tags. If others add additional tags, that may help the visibility of this thread when potential buyers research their breeders. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks! |

What I am trying to say is that there are still good people out there who are willing to offer up their time to positively benefit others. It is a small family business built on passion and not profit and our numbers indicate that. Again, you assume that the prices that you have found are the final numbers that buyers are charged. As I mentioned before, Diane accommodates steep discounts for most of her customers. Please, don't jump to conclusions before making accusations. |

I am sorry to have learned about your situation this way as no living being should be remember like this. I am sincerely sorry for your loss and all the heartache that has come with it. I truly hope that you, Jason, and your whole family can come to amicable terms of agreement with Diane because I am a hopeful type of person. I hope both parties can remain positive in the midst of all this hostility that has been bred in light of your horrible circumstances. |

Many of you out there are calling for action, ganging up against this breeder without doing full research on the situation. Taking words out of context, jumping to conclusions, and casting judgements is not how we deal with this type of situation for all parties involved. We are civilized human beings, are we not? |
I am so sorry that you had to go through the heartbreak of losing your Yorkie and now are having to go through all of this to have you contract honored. |

I apologize that our website does not convey that Firebrand is what you consider to be a reputable breeder. I would love feedback on what improvements you suggest as we are always open to new ideas for the business. If you take a moment to consider the reality of a serious health diagnosis you should realize that life as we know it cannot simply stop. Diane faces incredible challenges ahead of her physically and financially. Since the recent diagnosis she has scaled down production although, believe it or not, there is still demand for Yorkies out there that Diane must keep up with. |

Your friend may be a very nice person. These posts are directed at her business practices. If she has a different side that justifys her not honoring her contract then state it. How she handles a customer speaks volumes on her as a person to others who may be concidering buying a puppy from her. Puppies can get sick it happens. It is heart breaking all around to those involved. The people who lost the dog is not blaming her for selling a sick dog. But it was sick and died because of an birth defect. She needs to honor her agreement. If she dont have the funds work it out with the couple. But to accuse them of killing the puppy is absurd. Who in their right mind would pay money for a puppy grow to love it and then go threw the heart breaking time before its loss on purpose. Let alone the expense of vet bills. I truely hope her health improves. Perhaps dealing with this matter would take some stress off her. I know it would me. I would think if your going into business to sell puppies you need to be prepared for this type of thing happening. If she is the person you say she is then hopefully she will deal with this, sooner than later. |

"Civilized" does NOT mean "don't form any opinions whatsoever unless all parties have chimed in". So, now that we can see we're all being civilized, perhaps we can move forward from continuously calling others uncivilized. Thank you. |
To the OP i'm so sorry for the loss of your pup. I know how devastating this is. It's terrible have to deal with a breeder who refuses to honer her contract when you're trying to grieve for your loss. jenskwan, this quote from your last post.... Since the recent diagnosis she has scaled down production although, believe it or not, there is still demand for Yorkies out there that Diane must keep up with. ....is so disturbing, I cringed reading this.To say a person has to keep up her production of pups up even in the midst of a serious health crisis makes me wonder where her interest really is. I really feel sorry for those dogs in her care when I read this. |
Jason...so to clear up a little. Piper was bought almost 2 years ago 2350 and Dianne waived shipping. Cash was 2500$ plus 200 shipping. I have emails saying this. When cash shipped with all his paperwork, my receipt said 2350. But I have back up. Jen all Id like is my 2500 purchase price. No shipping and as of now not either the 1700 in vet bills. I'm a easy guy. Money is tight I get it. But reach out and work out a repayment plan. Please if your friends with her talk to her. Soon I will be lawyering and spending more than my purchase price if needed on behalf of cash. I will travel and do what action is nessasary. Again nice person she is. Just needs a touch of help in customer service maybe. |
Continued Hi good morning this is Meagan. I am sure my husband is also going to respond to Jens posts also but I Would like to as well. I want to keep this thread in line and repeat what it was intended for. I did business with someone who breached contract. I am sorry she is sick. I knew she was because she admitted to shipping him too early due to her illness. I am sorry she has health struggles ahead of her. It doesnt change that she owes me the purchase price of the dog back due to our agreement. I said before and I will say it again, I was left with no choice but to take this issue to here. She wasnt responding to any other attempts so hopefully she will to this. Jen if you havent talked to her or read anything how do you know she is speaking with someone to respond to this? I am anxious to hear what she has to say. And your comment about steep discounts? Sure she adjusted her prices on both dogs I purchased but thats not the point. If you want to bring $ into this I can add it all up and let you know the exact cost. I appreciate you wanting to bring insight into her current situation and thank you for your kind words but her insight is the one I am looking for. Answers as to why she never responded to me. My phone is always on. I wouldnt turn her away if she reached out to me because this is exactly what I am doing. Trying to get to her and sadly this is the road its taken. The point is she should put a check in the mail and I will come back on here to let everyone know she did the right thing. I will then resolve my complaints with the BBB and the attorney general and we can move forward. Until that happens Jen this thread is going to continue and I am going to continue to share with whomever will listen to my experience so maybe, just maybe I can save someone else from what my family and I are going through. |
Sometimes the people accusing are the very ones being rude, members on here were called uncivilized. Of course when the OP gives there side of the story members are going to respond with support and also they are going to say this is a bad breeder. It is unrealistic not to expect that. If the breeder wants her side of the story here she can always bring it then there will be 2 sides and everyone can decide for themselves |
"If you take a moment to consider the reality of a serious health diagnosis you should realize that life as we know it cannot simply stop. Diane faces incredible challenges ahead of her physically and financially. Since the recent diagnosis she has scaled down production although, believe it or not, there is still demand for Yorkies out there that Diane must keep up with" I am sure that the judge would love to see this, has read, it appears that she would do anything to make a buck and sell a sick dog due to her health.... shame shame shame.... I can only guess that in her contract it states that she will not release a puppy under either a weight restriction or age restriction, and from the OP, that she did in fact release the puppy under age per the breeder, so therefore the breeder broke her own contract that then can and will allow the breeder to be sued. If the breeder had any common sense, she should pay for the replacement and all vet bills from the previous puppy, before this case lands in court, due to that if it shall go to court, she could be responsible for any and all court fees for both parties and possible jail time.... Jail time would be due upon fraud, cause in this case she committed fraud and most likely knew about it. You do not need to know that you committed fraud to be charged with it... |

As to there still being a " demand for Yorkies out there that Diane must keep up with", this implies that Diane is still breeding. ??? Any reputable breeder of yorkies, knows that small dogs are more likely to run into complications giving birth that may necessitate an emergency C-section and as such have funds set aside specifically for such complications that may arise when whelping. If Diane does not have the funds to reimburse the clients whose puppy died from a congenital defect, one would assume she also doesn't have the funds to protect the life and welfare of her breeding bitches either, yet she continues to breed. Again, major red flag that this is not the kind of breeder that a potential yorkie purchaser should do business with! |
