We bought a puppy from Christin we met in a parking lot and the puppy died 1 week later, since day 1 the puppy was not eating, not playing, not active at all. We took the puppy 5 times to the Vet in 1 week and vet suggest to syringe feed him, but everyday he was getting worse, went back to Vet and was hospitalized for 3 days, then went back home still sick and syringe feeding him, he started popping black like blood, and had some reflux.. Apparently he had gastric issues, and he had Melena, the Vet said they could try a blood transfusion but that puppy was very sick and probably couldn't make it and it could probably had complications in the future, so we decided to put him to sleep, he was just 8 weeks.. Now we are stuck with Vet bills and lost $1, 200 from the cost of puppy. This lady won't even answer my emails or phone calls. She probably refuses to do a refund, please be aware of this breeder!
No one should ever buy a dog from her. She is a liar and a thief. She should be put in jail for her criminal activity. She knowingly sells sick puppies that she knows are going to die. She doesn't care about you or the puppies that she sells. The Lord and hopefully the law will judge her for her crimes soon. Cristin is a horrible person with no conscious...
We purchased a male puppy on 7/13/2023 and have nothing but great things to say about Blue Diamonds Yorkies. Renegade “Ren” was born on 4/5/2023 so he is weaned and eating dry dog food. The first day we brought him home I knew he was adjusting so I gave him honey a couple of times till he felt comfortable with us and started eating. Now he is a happy little fella that we love and couldn’t imagine life without.
You were just one of the lucky ones. She is a liar and running a puppy mill full of genetically defective puppies!
We also bought a puppy recently from Christin. She knowingly sold us a defective puppy with a liver shunt. After we took the puppy to a specialist for a sonogram confirming what our vet had told us and spent $1800 in vet bills, Christin would not return any of our phone calls, emails, or texts. We told her that she sold us a defective puppy and have the medical proof to back it up and sent it all to her so that any reputable breeder would have refunded our money or payed for the surgery that cost $5000 to fix the defective puppy that she knowingly sold us. Instead she said that she would do nothing and that it was our problem now. I have the emails to back up everything that I have said. She and her husband claim to be Christians, but her actions show her to be a ruthless crook who has no morals. She pretends to care about the puppies and her customers, but her actions show that it is all fake and that she only cares about getting your money. Now we have to sue Christin to get our money back from this disreputable breeder with no morals. Whatever you do, don't buy a puppy from her. They look and are adorable, but they have defective genetics from the puppy mill that she runs. She has overbred them to get them small and now they are full of genetic defects. You will only be one of the lucky ones if you get one that is not full of defects. Christin is a horrible person. Whatever you do, don't let her fool you!
I recently purchased a little girl who now is no longer with us due to a liver shunt. I am waiting on an email back from this shady breeder. I would love to hear your full story if you have time? I can sent my email address or number, thanks
I am in the same boat. Did you get your money back?
This was this month? I have been in contact with her about 1 of her puppies. We were wondering why we were not able to meet the puppy prior to make sure it was what we wanted. She sent me a video but that was it.
No...she is a horrible person and we had to sue her to get our money back. She is a liar and knows full well that she is selling defective animals. If you are one of the lucky ones that does get a healthy animal then praise Jesus...you were just lucky...she has no morals at all !
Hi Christine. Did you eventually purchase a puppy from her?
Hi,
I also bought a puppy from Christin. The puppy was PERFECT! and so was everything else about the whole
thing. I would not want strangers coming to my home either (especially in todays world) so I don't blame her one bit for not having strangers come to her home. She maintained 100% perfect communication from the initial
deposit right up to the day we picked the puppy up. I HIGHLY RECCOMMEND this breeder in every way possible.
You were just one of the lucky ones that didn't get a genetically defective puppy from her. She was only wonderful to you because you had no problems. Have a problem, then you get to see the real Christin. Blue Diamond Yorkies is a puppy mill that breeds genetically defective puppies. She has knowingly overbred her defective puppies in attempts to make them smaller. Whatever you do, don't buy a puppy from this breeder. We now have to sue Christin to get our money back from knowingly selling us a defective puppy and then ignoring all of our phone calls, emails, and texts. Stay away from Blue Diamond Yorkies and Christin's puppy mill.
Hello. Sir, was your puppy operated on before you got it? What age was it when you got it? Was the situation ever resolved: did you return the puppy to her? Appreciate any info as we are looking for a puppy.
Hi all. We met Christin in a parking lot for our little girl. At 6 years old, she is the light of our lives. Yorkies do require more special needs...such as diet and protection due to size. If you want a tiny dog, there's a trade off in attention and care. They do have a well known reputation for blood sugar issues because of body and organ size. Also, they due have teeth issues, again due to tiny mouths. We care for and love Talli as our child and are so happy we met Christin in that parking lot. We learned of her from our friend that had just purchased the little brother of Talli. He is just as happy and loved !
I can't imagine not having Tal to kiss my face, and we're considering a sister for her. I would certainly be open for the chance to have another Blue Diamond pup.
I guess you were lucky! And I do know how much care they need I myself own a 7 year old yorkie that is 3 lbs. we just wanted another baby pup
Whatever you do, don't get the next Yorkie from Christin. Blue Diamond Yorkies puppy mill is full of genetic defects. You were just lucky that your baby is not defective. Don't take another chance with her. Christin is a disreputable breeder who is only in it for the money. She is so fake and acts wonderful till there is a problem. Then she will treat you horribly and not return your phone calls, texts, or emails. She knowingly sold us a puppy with a liver shunt and then refused to help us out in anyway. I hope that I saved you from the mistake that we made with Christin...
Hi Kari. How old is your puppy now? Healthy? How big? Thank you.
Donna: Why didn't you just offer to adopt a Trisomy 21? People abort those living fetuses. Same thing as the mutation you paid big money for. Oh, wait...no show off value? Pffft.
Not everyone should have the privilege of adopting the tiny tea cup puppies. The tea cups require a great more care. Try and invision a premature baby. They need to be encouraged to eat and if you do not stay on top of their diet their blood sugar will certainly drop. The puppies were issued with documentation from a registered veterinarian from the State of Florida.
First I would have researched all there was to know about the tinies. I would let my veterinarian know about my choice to make certain that this would be a good choice. I would have taken my puppy directly home and taken care of it. I would have every conceivable product, Food, equipment thought of for the proper care. since the puppy came from a very protected environment, I would keep visitors away for at least the first six months. This is a baby folks.
I have carefully read all these supposedly well meaning warnings. Has any one of you check yourselves instead of the breeder? I know most people like to think they know what they are doing even when they do not. Sometimes people do not like to admit they do not know really what to do. It is so much easier to blame someone else. The fact is the puppy was healthy when you got it so says the Florida Certificate. Another thing...most breeders will take back their puppies. Maybe you would not get a refund. But is it really just about money? Because chances are the breeder would have to pay out for special care to bring the puppy up to health.
The breeders I have met invest heart and soul into their animals. They sacrifice their time and money for healthy well breed dogs. This isn’t just a job you can walk away from.
Breeders should provide protection for their family. Buyers need to honor a breeders private home.
I only wish there could be a better way to quality a buyer. Perhaps the veterinarian records from a past animal to see if proper care was administered. References can be forged by well meaning friends. There must be a way to check the buyer. The only real loss is the poor animal that had the misfortune to end up with a buyer well meaning but at the same time unqualified to be in charge of its innocent life.
I pray for all those poor animals.
My Yorkshire Terrier is also my registered Service Animal, she is my most cherished gift. I groom her myself and I cannot stand for her to be away from me. I could be over protective I will admit. However, I have over the years had four AKC Registered dogs each with a lifespan of fourteen years or more. I can say each of my companions had a loving cared for life and only pasted away from old age.
Some of these stories were written from a point of view and not by what really happened. If you are one of these people please spare the animal and breeders heartbreak.
This woman obviously did not buy a puppy from Christin or she was just one of the lucky ones that got one of Christin's puppies that didn't have a genetic defect.
I am in the same boat with my puppy. Just bought him 6 days ago. Christin gave me dry puppy food, which I questioned because he had very little teeth. He ate some, but struggled. She said to give him honey 3x a day to keep glycemic levels up. I gave the honey regularly, and offered food round the clock. He always vomited, and was very lethargic for a puppy. It got worse, so I took him to the vet on the morning of day 3. His blood glucose was a 24 (which is verge of death), got a dose of dextrose, syringe fed him, and came home. I gave him 2 hours to see if he changed. He got worse. He would fall over when trying to stand. I emailed Christin, who said she would be available any time I had questions, no response. I rushed him to the local vet ER. Blood glucose dropped to 20! He was in the ER vet hospital for over 2 days with IV's and monitored care. I was hopeful the ER stay would get him over the hump. However, there was no change and he is still fighting for his life. I have been to my regular vet twice today to test his glucose levels and go back again tomorrow morning. Only thing I can do now for him, is to syringe feed him every 2 hours, continue to go back to the vet for more tests, and hope he isn't dead when I check on him. Vet bills at this point have far exceeded the price I paid for a healthy puppy, just a week ago.
My husband and I came to the conclusion, that Christin didn't wean him properly and do her job as a breeder to ensure my puppy was eating and thriving before selling him. My husband stumbled on this site tonight, while trying to research her as a breeder. I was hopeful that my baby would pull through, but reading about others having the same issues, makes me very worried again.
I am not inconvenienced by caring for my little puppy, or even the vet bills adding up. I made the committment to having a puppy and doing what is necessary to care for him. I am just not pleased with the lack of care from Christin as a breeder to turn a sick puppy on to someone else without ensuring they are adjusted and ready on their own. Very irresponsible, and I wish I had found this site before I decided to choose one of her puppies.
Hello Everyone,
I did not realize until now that this site was out there. I am truly sorry to read that anyone has had a bad experience with their little bundle of joy.
I have a little girl, Lea Rose, actually full name is Lea Rose of my heart. Lea is going on four years old and she is the joy of my every day life. I treat her as though she were my own child. I still am considering a little boy. The Yorkshire Terriers have the most interesting personalities. Everyone has a preference. All well cared for pets are a reward to there owners.
My experience with Kristen has always been as very pleasurable. She went out of her way to help me with my decision. Kristen is a thoughtful breeder and I trust her fully. She has breed for years and does know what she is doing. When we lived in Saint Johns, Florida., the people I spoke to as I waited in the Vetrinarians Office had heard that she is the foremost breeder to go to for yorkies, especially the tiny tea cups. By the way, she has every right to meet outside her home. She has had bad experiences with some people. The rules are made to protect the animals. Anyone should be able to realize that there are good reasons to protect your home and families. She is wise and practical.
I have to say I do not like air travel for these precious bundles of joy. They are babies and should be treated as such. Why wouldn’t you want to go and personally pick-up your new puppy? Try to use your heads, as I said they are babies, respect that.
Kristen will work out any reasonable concern.
Seriously? So that is why she gave us another healthy puppy? She never answer my texts agter I
Told her the puppy passed away
You were one of the lucky ones. Christin is a horrible person. She was only nice to you because you were lucky enough to get a healthy one from the puppy mill that she runs. She has overbred her Yorkies to get them small and now has a puppy mill full of genetically defective puppies. I beg anyone out there, don't be fooled by her adorable puppies like we were. They are genetically defective from overbreeding and yours will die or cost you thousands and thousands of dollars in vet bills. Don't let the pictures fool you, Blue Diamond Yorkies knowingly sells genetically defective puppies and will offer you no help after she has your money. We now have to sue her to get the money back that she has cost us because of her disreputable business practices.
This is almost all lies probably written by Kristen...
I bought my yorkies also from Blue Diamond Yorkies where we met in a parking lot. Pictures of puppy for sale show ears standing and advertised as 7 lbs full grown. At 5 years old yy yorkie is floppy earred and 15 lbs!
I also bought from this breeder. She would NEVER let us come to where the pup was...pup died within the month. Also met us in a parking lot...quickly handed over puppy and left. DO NOT buy from this lady!
So, like, how much did you pay for this abortion? I'd suggest you leave your cash and cards with me. For "safe keeping." Capiche? You just contact me when you want to drop a buck for something. I'll advise you. No charge, babe.
