Over the last 6 years I have dealt with Dream Puppys on a very close level. I have followed them through 3 different locations as they grew bigger and better. Here is merely a snipit of MY story. In 2007 I decided that I wanted to fulfill a personal goal of breeding happy and healthy Yorkshire Terriers. After extensive research and many recommendations, we chose to work in conjunction with Dream Puppys and Debbie. And so our journey began. When we met and explained to Debbie what our future plans were, she was more than happy and willing to share her boundless experience and knowledge with us. Over the years, we have purchased 7 beautiful, healthy Yorkies from Debbie. Before the breeding process actually began, my husband, a 22yr Army veteran was transferred to Ft. Campbell, and we moved to Tennessee, a 6 hour drive from Dothan. Though several successful pregnancies and deliveries, Debbie was right there with me on the phone, no matter what time of day or night, to ensure all was going well, and was even there to share my pain and tears when all had not gone well. Each my litters returned full circle and came to Dream Puppys to find their forever homes.
It makes me sad and I must admit, a bit angry when I hear of someone like Cheryl W. I have to say, someone like Cheryl has no business purchasing a puppy in the first place. It is because of people like her, that so many animals end up in shelters. First things first; If you are a "business manager" rule #1 would be to KNOW the product you are dealing with and/or purchasing. Hence, if you are purchasing a LIVE animal, meet it first, to insure that you even have a bond before you walk out of a store with one, only to change your mind. Second, if you were so "in love" with this puppy as you claim, there would be NO NEED to return it. If you had a child that was born missing a finger or toe, would you RETURN him/her? As a breeder, and a human being, if I thought that any puppy in my hands was malnourished or sickly, the LAST thing I would do is take it back, I would take it straight to the vet to see what we could do to insure that the puppy has a happy and healthy future.
I wish there was a better way of screening potential buyers, prior to letting them leave with one of these tiny treasures from the store. That way Cheryl W. and others like her, would never have the opportunity to lay a hand on any of these babies. I just thank Heaven above that she did not have the opportunity to touch one of my Yorkies!
Cheryl you are right though, when you say, "one word-despicable." This word describes you to a T. As I see it, Cheryl you are the only one that is dishonest. You don't choose to take on the care of a "little life" then return it to, as you say, "call someone out." I pray that the Lord does not allow you to go somewhere else to purchase a puppy whose life you will undoubtedly destroy.
Dream Puppys has an impeccable reputation, for happy, healthy, pre-spoiled, loving puppys available for the best of homes, that even Cheryl's review can not diminish. read more
