Me and my husband adopted a Yorkie…
Me and my husband adopted a Yorkie puppy from a Mary Yoder living in Baltic Ohio. Seen the puppy on lancasterpuppies.com We drove out Ohio and picked the puppy up, all the way from Connecticut. We did have an appointment but when we arrived the lady wasn't there and some teenage children helped us. We were very disappointed. We drove a long ways 9 hrs. We did not get to meet the parents like they said we could. We did not get to see the rest of the siblings. They had just bathed the puppy and gave it to us wet. Even though the puppy was just bathed, he still stunk. Since we had given them a $500 deposit two weeks prior through a check and they had told us it was not refundable, We thought it'd be best to leave with the puppy for the time and money we had already invested. We paid the remaining balance of $1000 cash, got some really basic paperwork, the guarantee they told us about we did not get in writing. the paperwork they gave us was just the dog's breed date of birth price and shots. It was basically just written on a piece of paper by them. We got a receipt and later on a room at the Holiday Inn with the puppy who pooped out worms immediately. We drove home the next day and about 2 days later our puppy was very ill with a very heavy case of Giardia Coccidia and hook worms. We spent $1200 to save our puppy's life and we never got a refund. There are lots of breeders on this site but definitely avoid the Amish. They're never available on sundays never so hint hint. Common last names are Yoder Troyer Miller Hershberger Keim. I noticed a lot of them live in Sugar Creek Millersburg Baltic New Bedford areas. Never again.
