I can't believe it that really sucks. I feel just awful for the all the dogs. I hope if she rebuilds this she builds it with all the high tech things that should be.I feel sorry for her and her family as for the paper I would only believe 1/4 of what they wrote anyway. I know they exagerate to get the ratings.

I was sitting on my tailgate at a show when I heard of this terrible tragedy. I remember my heart just sinking. My prayers are with the family as they cope with this terrible loss.

I feel so sad for the dogs and the family who kept these precious babies..please send your friend my condolences...

Such a tragic story. A fire is something that could happen to any of us.... we don't know what is in our futures. Bad luck falls on everyone occasionally.... no matter if they are a caring responsible Yorkie owners or not. We just need to hope that it doesn't! I think that the owners of the kennel need us to wish them well.... and a quick recovery from their great loss.... You know how much we all LOVE our Furbabies! :ghug:

Just about a month ago we purchased our precious JoJo from Cindy Hill at Edgewood Kennnels. This news was particularly shocking to me. I did a lot of research before choosing Edgewood Kennels and her facility was clean and well cared for as were her dogs. She had been up all night feeding puppies the first day we went to visit. She shared all the same concerns for this tiny breed that we do and was careful to place the puppy in a proper home. I am sure this devasting occurence has hurt her and her staff deeply. She certainly is a caring and dedicated breeder and I hope in time she and her staff can recover. So sad. :(

Another horror story! Buddy lost two of his friends to a house fire 6wks ago.
The complex where I live had a horrific fire down the hill from me caused by a gas leak it is thought. Both dogs perished. I cry evey time I think about them and to read this only brought back the tears. Animals are so helpless when locked inside with no one to help them. It tears your heart out. In a cage or in a house running loose it still happens and it's no ones fault.

They have stickers that can be put on the front door and windows to alert the firefighters that there are pets inside.

Wow Pretty Harsh for someone who doesn't know Cynthia or how she keeps her home and Kennels. We have 2 beautiful Yorkies from Cynthia with the sweetest temperments. We have seen her at the shows as well as her home and she is nothing less than a very loving, caring person who had a very unfortunate incident happen, Yes twice in her life time. SO please cut her a break, as I am sure she is suffering enough without people bad mouthing her .

Wow! I sure hope no one confuses our board names. V...that wasn't me!

We purchased four beautiful dogs from Cynthia. She is a great, responsible breeder who truly cares about her dogs.

Terrible
 

O.K. so I deffinately do not know this lady, and will deffinately not talk out of turn of purpose, so correct me if I do.I live in a house, and I have 4 dogs , several birds, and an assortment of other pets.....if an accidental fire broke out, first of all, I would have no possible way to get every single one out, but would certainly try.I would have to of course face the facts of when it was no longer safe to get them out, as a dead me does the surviving pets and my husband no good. There was a fire here in England recently, the lady had done everything right, surge protector, turn electrics off at the wall and had smoke detectors.Still her Christmas tree went up do to faulty electrics....is she a bad person for having a christmas tree in her home with no sprinklers? Things happen, lifes full of things we can only describe as tragic.I don't think this lady meant any dogs harm, as it takes tons of dedication and a hell of allot of yourself to get to the level of pedigree she was producing.....someone who don't care don't produce that level of animal......it's a complete way of life, morning noon and night..why would she want to invest so much of herself into this to watch it go up in smoke...and murder her family of dogs, that she has spent all of that time and effort rearing, caring for ect? I get angry too when I see things that could have been prevented, and yes I personally think an unattended coal fire in a old wooden building was a bit un thought out, as coals are always falling from them, I know Englands full of coal fires.The proper fire safety should have been put in place for a coal fire, deffinately, but even with the best fore thought, some accidents are un avoidable.I wish her and hers the best and hope the remainder of her stock are well.Don't be so quick to hop on the band wagon of bitching and moaning, as its so easy to tare people down, what this world needs is a few more people willing to build folks up.

I agree people judge way to quickly now...

:thumbup:

I know this is an old thread but I think someone mentioned that she has or had 150 dogs, regardless if they are in immaculate crates, fed the best food, bathed every week, or if the breeding pair is health tested to me that is just way to many dogs to own, because it's to many dogs to give love and attention to, even with "kennel help"
Sounds like an upscale breeding farm:(:(
