Surber K9 Kennels Tamsyn and Ben Surber LIES, UNANSWERED CALLS, and HEARTBREAK Appalachia , Virginia
I'm not sure what to make of these people. I've read all the reports that keep coming up and I'm appalled by the things I'm reading. I have delt with them and find that there is some fishy business going on. My partner purchased a yorkie for me for my birthday in February 2009 from them I was first alarmed when they requested we meet them away from their home. I used to raise parrots and I know that when a breeder doesn't want you at their home they are hiding something. Non the less I went on with the purchase and pickup of my new puppy. I was a little taken back when Tamsyn who portrays herself as loving and careing more or less just tossed the puppy into the back seat. In my conversation with them I was informed of their quarntee and told my papers and copies were not available a the time. I was told I would recieve them in the mail in two weeks. I was instantly in love with my new baby as most people are. My joy didn't last long my baby was so small and had no teeth to eat on his own...I had to bottle feed him for nearly two weeks. That wasn't the end of my troubles within a few weeks I began to notice some strange behaviors that alarmed me. I took my puppy to the vet only to find he had earmites( not that uncommon) but much more seriously he had CRD( Congenital Renal Disease). I contacted the Surbers and they acted so sympathetic about what I was going through. I also inquired about the papers and was told one story that by the time I got them had become 4 different stories. In the end I spent nearly four thousand dollars and I am forced to accept that my dog has a genetic progressive disease that will take his life...I'm realistic that these things do happen but all the things that continue to come up about these people make you wounder what horrors await and lurk around the corner. My heart goes out to the animals that live there if all these things are what they seem.
