This is has been an emotional and trying time and I thank you all for support. You all cared and shared. Giving advise to help us cope with our loss.

This is wonderful news . Very happy for you.

I'm glad they finally lived up to their end, but with the pressure and all....what choice did they have...really. In the end this breeder and her mouthpiece showed me all the reasons no one should ever deal with them....stay tuned for my "formal" review of this breeder....

I look forward to your "formal" review.
IMHP, this is a bad breeder, it took OP to turn to YT and YT members coming to the aid of the OP. This put a fire under the Mediator (Jen) butt. Why did zook4mud have to come to this length to have contract honored. I don't care about breeders so called illness, you get sick you still have to pay your bills, pay your mortgage / rent, so pay the buyer or do we now call buyers "adopters" which ever, honor the contract that the breeder herself created. What about the rest of the litter little cash came from? what about the breeding pair that produced a liver shunt baby? I have waited for the conclusion of buyer vs breeder for refund of genetic illness that caused the death of a puppy that died 4 weeks after purchased. Now I can address this breeders tactics with my Facebook friends & family that live in NY, NJ, CT, PA, MD, N, FL.. They will spread the word and tactics of this breeder. I do not CARE if breeder is refunding purchase price and autopsy cost, look at what it took to be refunded.

I'm glad the breeder is going to honor the contract she provided to you. It's so sad the loss of your pup happened. RIP sweet baby.

Diane can now get back to business, after all this disruption must have impacted her bottom line and caused her some financial set backs. It's now full speed ahead on that production line. (smh)

Yes, it will be interesting to see if she continues to breed the 2. From the contract the OP put on here the mom and dad are Pebbles (4 lb. 16 oz.) and Enzo (2 lb. 6 oz.). Obviously bred to make tiny babies and to charge a ridiculous amount of money. Hopefully she does the right thing.

It will be more interesting to see if the OP is refunded, If it was me, I would believe it when that check clears my bank…... This breeder sucks, has no breeding ethics, not breeding to “better the breed”. Breeding tiny’s to “better her pocket”. IMO, she is no better then a BYB ….The breeder has medical issues, that puppy had genetic medical issues. Maybe this breeder’s medical issues is “what goes around, comes around” …..I doubt she will pull that mating pair, after all, she has a waiting list for her “awesome tiny” puppies“. My heart bleeds for that poor innocent little baby that suffered for weeks before having to be put down, and for the family that had to go through this pain with a wee little baby. No amount of money can erase what this family went through.

I am happy to hear this is being resolved and hope you receive your refund promptly as agreed. Again, I am sorry for all you have gone through. The loss of a little one after having him only a few weeks is painful enough, and to have to battle with a non-responsive breeder just made it so much worse.

Now that you have found Yorkie Talk, I hope you will stick around and enjoy some of the good that this site provides. We are just a bunch of people who adore Yorkies, and love to share all things "Yorkie".

Chachi - Thank you for your clarification on the "silence" question and the answer is no. There is no amount of money that would keep me silent. I am not that kind of person.


Diane took full responsibility for her actions (lack there of) and her harsh words. She admitted she let her emotions get the best of her as she had herself just received news of her own health concerns. She doesn't blame me for the actions I took to have this resolved. To Joyce who asked about siblings that too is a concern and since I have an almost 2 year old from her out of the same parents I cant help but pray she lives a healthy life and that I couldn't possibly go through this again..... I offered my opinion on retiring the parents and trying to identify who carries the gene but I didn't push it when I realized she had her own opinion on that.


Mauigirl - I will most certainly be continuing my relationship with YT and I don't think this would have been possible without all of you!


I will let you know when my check clears!

I'm so sorry that you have gone through all of this. Little Cash has most certainly touched your heart, and it's so sad that you lost him so young.

For peace of mind, I would probably have a BAT test on your other little one to rule out a shunt or PVH-MVD. If there is any indication of slight liver disease, you can treat it with a different diet. I'm sure you are very educated on PSS and PVH, but I have attached a link for others.

I hope your heart heals and that you find another little one who is healthy. He will be a lucky little boy to be loved by you.

Im so sorry for you loss

[Zook4mud]

Thank you for the suggestion on the BAT test. I will talk to my vet.

[Ieprnt]

I just read this thread and am heartbroken at your loss, "Zook". While "happy" things will be resolved, I'm sure that emotion isn't really what you feel. There is no "happy" when you have lost a love, and now have the additional worry for the health of your other baby.

I am shocked and in a state of admiration at the power of this forum to get this issue resolved for these "yorkie'rents".

[AZME]

Sorry about Cash and although I am in NO way agreeing with the Breeder it sounds like she simultaneously got devastating news and acted based on a boatload of emotions that sometimes tragedy breeds (no pun here). Her behavior may not be the person she is. I don't know because I don't know her, but I have seen people who are blindsided w/ their own health issues crumble, act out and then regroup. I am in no way excusing her actions. She should be a woman of her word and do the right thing. It sounds like she was up to her ass in alligators and this news of Cash tipped her over the edge. I am glad that she is resolving this, but the issue of the bloodline and the shunting is worrisome for the puppies born previously including your own pup that you got from her. You obviously had a relationship with her previously and thought she was an upright person and perhaps she is. What happens next will be telling in regards to that.
It is good to know that the power of this forum/community helped to get this resolved financially although it will never feel resolved personally dealing with this loss. So sorry.

I am going to share something that not all vets are aware of...specialists are, but I can tell you that my vet was stunned by what happened to my pup. My Teddy Bear had a shunt that was not diagnosed until he was about 8. I had him for 7 years and he seemed perfectly healthy. I had blood work on him every year during his annual and nothing was ever out of the normal range. He suddenly one night got sick and ended up hospitalized with bladder stones..and they found a shunt! This actually is very common...more than people realize! It all depends on how much blood flow is going through the liver. The specialist told me they often see this in adult pups.
HEre is a link about Teddy Bear:

BATs are easy to do and very inexpensive (around $80) . With this breeder, and your recent experience, I would highly recommend it.
