Michiko,

i know how hard this was for you to post because i know how much you looked up to Stacy when you first got Haruka. At the time Stacy (aka sylvan) seemed like a great breeder and friend. She answered all your questions and was very helpful. You signed the contract with Stacy because you trusted her. Its written there that after you got haruka spayed she would send you the registration papers. You upholded your end and she failed to do her part. For 5 months she's been avoiding the issue at hand and she hasn't given you a proper reason for it. I hope this thread makes her see how big of an issue this is for you and makes her finally give you the papers. One can only hope. Someone else posted that you should follow up with the AKC and see if she registered the litter already and also to file a complaint against her. I agree.

You know its hard for me to say this because i too have a Sylvan Yorkie. We got out pups only a week or two apart. Morgan and Haruka grew up together at Stacy's house (from different litters). I know exactly how you feel about losing touch with her and things not being the same. Our situations are similar but different. I knew what i was getting into when i purchased morgan, but at the time was too excited to question the reasons. I trusted Stacy too and the opinions of others on YT about her breeding practices. I will not go into my story of frustration because i feel it is partially my fault for not being smart enough or demanding enough (tho demanding might not be the right word here) to do anything about it. i wanted morgan so bad and didnt want to be turned down.

Also i think its good that you posted your negative experience so that others can read it and formulate their own opinions on Sylvan Yorkies. This should be done for all breeders/stores/whatever. Negative experiences can and should be brought up in a tasteful way so that other people who are thinking of purchasing from them can see all sides.

michiko i know you wanted to post this after saying so many good things about her so that other potential buyers will be able to read this before making their decision.

I applaud your courage. You know i am always around to talk and listen :)

Wow Kalina...

I too applaud your courage to respond to my thread. I was thinking.. I would respect if you didn't. So Wow, Kalina...

You know.. how much I appreciate this...

I know there are people who have been afraid of speaking out. I too was one of the person who used to defend Stacy... if anyone said something negative about her. So I was afraid of being attacked on YT.

I am so touched that many of you believe me and are supportive.

I just hope that Stacy can come and be honest... If the money was an issue for her to register Haruka, I would have paid for it.. even I paid the "money" for an AKC dog.. I was her friend, and I could have done that...

After reading this post, I remembered seeing a review of her in the review section and went back and read it. I had tried to click on the website link and saw that it didn't work. I was wondering if it was just the link or if she deleted her website. I was surprised at all the people attacking that one person in the review. I thought she was asking legitimate questions, and really questions everyone should ask when looking for a top-quality dog. I didn't think she was attacking Sylvan at all - just asking good questions that everyone interested in buying a puppy from her should know the answers too. Honestly, if I was looking for a top of the line show quality dog, in my opinion she failed several of those questions... Some answers were fine if you were just looking for a pet quality dog, but if you were looking for a show/breeding dog like Yorkiek9trainer, some of the things she does just wouldn't cut it

i am so sorry this has happened. I, too, followed your quest to get a puppy and was joyful with you when you did get her. I have always felt Stacy was a far superior breeder than i could ever be because people on here held her in such high esteem. I know that I am very gullible in thinking that these other breeders are so much better than I am. Well, at least I am honest to people. I feel this post should have been made in the breeders review section so prospective buyers can find it.
