I answered an ad on Puppyfind to purchase a female Parti Shorkie (1/2Shih Tzu & 1/2 Yorkie) to mate with my male Parti Shorkie. My male weighs 5 lbs, & I wanted a female SLIGHTLY larger, as I explained to the breeder who placed the ad. This female was supposed to be from a 3lb Yorkie stud and a7lb Female Parti Shih Tzu, & I was told she would get to 6 1/2 lbs. She is now @ 6 mos 13 lbs & it appears that she is not a Shorkie, but a Shichon (1/2 Shih Tzu / 1/2 Bichon...which breed attains 12-15 lbs normally.) I have e-mailed the breeder numerous times (very non-combative to try to establish some communication for resolution...asked when I might receive her papers) and have never rec'd a reply except when she thought I was inquiring about Shichons she had advertised. Once she knew who I was, there was no more communication. She has put us in a horrible position...we do not have a female we can mate with our male - the entire intent of purchasing another dog, and what do we do with this dog with whom we have become attached ( which I feel she counted on when she sent this dog which she knew would not be appropriate for our needs)? She shipped out 3 puppies the day she shipped ours, and either she sent us the wrong one, or she misrepresented the puppy as a breed she is not. Either way, this is a horrible way to do business, and there has been no offer to correct the situation - only a refusal to communicate. I wanted a small dog that is easy for me to handle - I am 67 and small stature - this female is terribly hard for me ... to lift, to bathe, etc. and she is still growing !
You, Thud, should mind your own business. It is none of your business what I do with my dog. FYI, there are friends and family who would like to have offspring from my male Shorkie. Any puppies we might be fortunate to have are already spoken for. If I wanted to play "mad scientist, " as you so rudely suggest, I could go ahead and use this female that is obviously not a good match, and I would not have gone across the country to what I thought was a reputable breeder to ensure that I did not dilute the Shorkie breed, to purchase a Shorkie female. I have a feeling that you, THUD are one of those disreputable breeders like the one with whom I have just dealt. Small reputable breeders are far more desirable than puppy mill jerks like you.
Thud, Dud, whatever your name is (have to remain anonymous - afraid to post your name?)...it is always a good idea to grasp the concept of an issue before you comment. Your comments have no relationship whatsoever to the issue.
Peggy Weise of Peggy’s Terriers in Nevis, MN sold me a Welsh Terrier with a congenital defect, verbally telling me I would get a refund, and then later telling me in writing that I had already received one by check (never asking for my address). She then sent another email 5 minutes later telling me she didn’t give refunds, only replacement puppies.
She complained she could never read my vet records which were sent directly from the vet clinic I utilize. She claimed she had never heard of mega esophagus, which is unfortunately a defect that can plague the terrier breed commonly.
Please do not purchase animals from her, or support her breeding business. You will not receive any support from this breeder after you signed your contract.
Hi. Just saw your review. Did you ever get anywhere with the breeder? I would love a Welshie and she appears to be closest breeder to me. Have you seen her kennel in person? Were there any other red flags? Thanks
Shorkies? Morkies? Florkies? WTF. Can't you spell "M-U-T-T?" Get another hobby. Mutts or mongrels, whatever you wanna call 'em are not in demand these days - as already pointed out, there are too many puppies floatin around, for pete sakes!
And PS, Read your story...you been had - proof you only THINK you know what you're doing.
Peggie's puppies in Nevis, MN is selling their puppies to New York Pet shops. BEWARE of this backyard breeder/puppy mill!
