Pattyvaughn,
Hi, Patty.
Well, I am sorry to say, my faith in this breeder, was sadly misplaced.
We sent her all the medical reports, confirming that Max has severe dry eye. She e-mailed my husband on 1/10 and told him that her Vet didn’t think he had dry eye, but had hidden eyelashes.
Well, we contacted our Vet to see if she had checked Max for eyelashes growing under his eye-lids, and they said if he’d had eyelashes irritating his eyes, his eye would have been watery, not dry.
She refused to send our Vet a copy of Max’s diagnosis & operative report.
She had promised me a female puppy at no additional charge. My husband saw that she has an 8 month old female listed on puppyfind, and the listing states, that she held her back for Show, but she is too small, and needs to go to a pet home.
My husband e-mailed her, and she said the female is not out of her breeding, there is another breeder involved. And she said the puppy is $2,000. and we are only getting a $1,200. puppy from her.
She hasn’t honored her word from the start-told me on the phone that she would do the same as my Kia’s breeder said, and pay Vet bills, if Kia got sick and I still wanted to keep her.
It’s not in her contract, and now, she is sticking to the letter of her contract.
I expected better from a member of the Yorkshire Terrier Association of America.
Kia’s breeder was Susan Harasim, and a friend of mine bought a year old Yorkie from her, when Dixie died of renal failure, Susan paid all of the medical bills, and when my friend was ready, she gave her another puppy.
As you said, Patty, “Some are great, some put on a great show”.
