Complaint Review: Natalie's Wee Yorkies - Internet

 

"I would like to share with all of your friend the experience that I have had purchasing puppies from you. First of all I want to let them know that you have the most beautiful puppies out there. Second of all, for some reason they are so much smarter, more happy than other yorkies from a different place. They are very active as well. I first bought two girls from Natalie and she send them by airplane. Then unfortunately one of them past away, I we recently bought a new baby girl from her. Her name is Maya she is the most adorable girl, very happy, smart and active. We decided to pick her up and we drove to South Dakota, I have to say that I didn't expect to see so many beautiful dog. For those of you who haven't visit Natalie, well let me tell you, all of her dogs, except for the babies, the new moms and the ones in heat, they are free to run around the house; although, she has many dogs, they are all clean, brush, dress and feed. They have access to food and water all the time, and she keeps her house very clean because it doesn't smell bad. When I picked up Maya, I met a wonderful little puppy, his name is Gabriel, he is sick and he is very fragile and you can see how much Natalie loves this little guy and that's when I realize what a good person Natalie is and what a great breeder she is, because a different person would have put this puppy to sleep but she decided to keep him; even though, he requires more care. So, if any of you is wondering what kind of person and breeder Natalie is, well I hope this helps you; otherwise, you can go to her house and confirm what I just said. Thanks Natalie for taking care of all of your babies and ours. Take care and Gad bless you.

You by chance didn't get your baby from Natalie's little Yorkie in South Dakota? A friend of mine bought a little boy from her and he had to be put down because of vertebrae in his neck missing, she replaced with a puppy . 2 days later that puppy was died, I hope your baby a speedy recovery, she will be in our thoughts.

I'm not sure if they offered her surgery, I don't think so or she would have tried, the second pup, my freind found her dead at about 2am the vets couldn't find a reason but I guess they did find a worm.

 

First let me say Im sorry for your loss. Second I commend you for your honesty. I too purchased a dog from Natalie in fact we just lost him at 7 yrs! That poor guy has had more health problems than any dog should have to endure, and bless his heart he is finally at peace.

I also tried to post a negative review. I dont like being negative against someone, I for the most part try to find good in all but felt it needed to be said.

 

I know exactly who this little girl is out of and where the parents reside(not with you) because I have a female from the same breeding. The fact is I purchased 5 dogs from you for my breeding program, 3 of which have had to be spayed or neutered due to genetic abnormalites. When I purchased these dogs, it was you I spoke to, your contract I signed, your health certificate from the your vet, your pedigree, you cashed the checks totallying over 16,000.00 and you flew the puppies to me and in all our conversations you never spoke of a "little old lady" until you had to start laying blame. Would you like to see a picture of the little girl that was produced by the male and one of the females you sent me as breeders? You have enough people producing pups that when there's a problem you just toss them another, it's nothing to you.

Who do you think pays for the long term health of these pups? Your victims!!

I know with the vast amount of puppies you have sold, you have people who are happy with their babies, congratulations to you and count your blessings and luckily for you,you can hide behind them however, I know that I am not the only one you have hurt by your practices. You should never sell your dogs as breeders, they are not the quailty needed to be breeders, 2 out of 5 is not a good average.

Thats not comletely true. She did sell me a dog she led me to believe was hers and it was not. Long story short he came with health issues and continues to have them and my boy who wasnt supposed to get to 5lb is a whopping 10 lb, or close to it. I dont know her personally, but I do know she lied to me.

First off the last dog who was found to have genetic abnormaities is 2.5 years old not six. The lady did not replace Dixie you did with another one of her dogs (a 9 pound female). I have NEVER dealt with the lady. Yes I got to keep Dixie and ALL of her Medical Expenses along with the rest of the dogs with ailments you sent me and you never once offered to take back, why would you? Thanks for the favor!! As far as not knowing what your dogs will produce...I went to you because of your YEARS of knowledge and experience You Led Me to believe I could trust that you knew your dogs. We have already covered this in emails and I can prove you not to be honest. Selling "Nice Pets to happy homes" is one thing, Selling dogs as breeders you can't stand behind is a whole nother issue and thats what you do. This hurts people beyond me.

 

I am new to YorkieTalk but once I came across this discussion, wanted to tell of my experience with Natalie. I told her that I was looking for a very tiny male. She said she had one but when following his growth it appeared that he was getting too big too fast. She then told me that she had a 5 month old (she said it was a friends - but the paperwork had Natalies name on them) that was very tiny - 1.5 lbs. I asked why he hadn't been sold yet seeing as how he was already 5 months and she said that she was thinking of keeping him. When he arrived, he was so emaciated. I took him to the vet who confirmed that he was very malnurished. Needless to say he gained .5 a lb in two weeks. He also came with giardia which took 2 bouts of medication to get rid of. He also came with a cough, which to this date - 6 weeks later - still has. He had not been socialized because he is still afraid of people. So although there are very happy people out there with her puppies - I am not one of them and would never recommend this puppy mill to anyone.

 

she is not a good breeder only in it for money, she is nice until you buy puppy then don't no you. Liver shunt problems

 

Hello, this is my first post here. I wanted to say that I have dealt with Natalie a few years back when I was looking to buy a sweet tiny girl for a pet. She took a deposit from me for a pup that I decided on, and I told her the pup would not be bred, would be spayed, and did not have to be show quality, as I wanted her for a pet. The next time I contacted her to finalize things and pick a date and time to meet to pick her up, I was told she was selling MY PUP to someone else who offered her a lot more money for her! Previous to that, she had mentioned that she "wasn't in it for the money". I can't tell you how devastated I was. Yes her pups are gorgeous! But anyone who could do that to someone, well, what can I say, judge for yourself.

I realize that this is really a late posting, but after several years away from YT, I came back with a new account. (new email address)

 

I was really impress with Natalie when I purchased our boy from her. She spent a lot of time with me on the phone, and I really trusted her. I realize now that I had a lot to learn, but I thought she had the nicest dogs, and was impressed with how clean all of 20-25 dogs running throughout the house were. We wanted a little male, and Natalie assured me that this puppy wouldn't get over 3 pounds. I was impressed by her stated policy to me that anyone that wasn't happy with one of her dogs she would purchase back. I picked up the little guy at about 12 weeks of age, and while he didn't look as nice in person as he did over the pictures she emailed me, I happily paid her $2500. and went home.

At 4 months when he was already 3.5 pounds I was concerned and called. I was told that he wouldn't get any larger than that. Regardless, he was a loved part of our family, and his weight wasn't going to change that. What I didn't know when I purchased him was that Natalie wasn't the breeder. To make matters worse, AKC had problems with Natalie, and wouldn't register him. When he was over 5 pounds at about 6 months I again called and she couldn't have cared less by her attitude on the phone. All I got from her was that if I wasn't happy, I could ship him back to her at my cost on Northwest Airlines. As I said, he had long become a part of our family, and even if he hadn't I wouldn't send a little puppy on an airline. I just wanted her to acknowledge what she had done to us, and although I never asked, I thought she would have offered to maybe refund some of the 2500 since we didn't get what we were told we would have, and he wasn't going to be recognized by AKC.

This was several years ago. We still have Beau, and we eventually got things straight with AKC, but no thanks to Natalie. We now show Yorkies, but Beau is just the family pet. I have no doubt that Natalie loves her dogs, but don't kid yourself, they were a business to her first. I don't know circumstances now, but at that time I dealt with her, that was how she supported herself. What is the difference from going to a pet store?

I often talk to people interested in purchasing their own Yorkie not be be fooled by pretty pictures on a website. Many people are just not honest when they think

that they may make a sale. You are rolling the dice if you purchase without doing a lot of homework.
