This breeder is a gift from G-d! I have had 5 deeply loved dogs over the years bred by Kristy…read more I met Kristy many years ago when I took my beloved Shih Tzu Daisy to her for grooming. BTW...She was and still is the absolute best small breed groomer in the Lower Mainland. Anyways, at the time we met back in the early 90's, she was just starting out as a Yorkie Breeder, and her goal was to be among the best Yorkshire Terrier show quality Breeders in North America. She researched tirelessly, she did everything right in terms of being a bonafide Breeder, (not a backyard Breeder) and went to extreme financial lengths, and still does, to show her dogs in the best shows all over the world. Only a Breeder of Champions can develop a reputation as a serious champion show Breeder of exceptional quality dogs among other show Breeders, and the dog show world is extremely difficult to penetrate in terms of being taken seriously and regarded as a credible show breeder. It takes years and years of dedication, effort, incredible hard work and extreme amounts of money. However, Kristy understood that without that reputation and acceptance, she would be nothing more than a backyard breeder, and that was out of the question. She maintained a busy grooming business 7 days a week, in order to fund her HUGE expenses, which include outrageously high veterinary bills, show expenses, handler costs, supplies etc etc., and on top of that, she regularly rescues dogs from bad breeders, most with serious genetic health issues. So, for those who balk at the high cost of a show quality puppy, and think that all Breeders are "in it for the money", WRONG! A backyard Breeder is in it for the money, Kristy is in it for the love, dedication, devotion and preservation of the breeds she is involved with. You know, many small dog breeds need cesarian sections to give birth, and the cost of that is outrageous! A simple spay costs $1500 now, so trust me, the $4,000 price for a show quality Yorkie, for example may sound high to those who don't understand the true cost of quality breeding, but after all the vet checks, shots, Stud fees, supplies, CKC admin costs, (papers etc.) trust me, the profit margin is borderline "loss" when all is said and done. All of Kristy's puppies are well cared for in her home, and are even paper trained before leaving. I leave you with this...Without people like Kristy, those breeds would be extinct due to genetic damage and pain and suffering caused by backyard breeders.

*WARNING - BEFORE PUTTING IN A DEPOSIT WITH KRISTY FOR A PUPPY.*…read more She insists on a nonrefundable $500 deposit, and she means it under *ALL* circumstances. We waited 6 months on her waiting list, only to find out that 2 litters of puppies had died! Due to the highly unusual circumstance, and some doubts about the health of the dogs, we asked for our deposit back. She refused and told us to wait for the next litter (which would have been 9 months). We didn't even know how many puppies died under her supervision, or how they died! We decided she was unreliable, since we could not be sure the next litter would even survive. We searched for other breeders and even got a puppy from one, Kristy still refused to give us the $500 back. She is also difficult to communicate with, and said I was "threatening" and "blackmailing" her for saying I was going to write a negative review. She will probably reply to this review trying to play the victim, even though she's the one who's $500 richer. Save your time and money, she's not worth the stress, there are plenty of reliable breeders out there who will refund your deposit if anything happens to the puppy that they are selling you.

It's been almost three years since my Simon passed away (I still miss him a lot), and my husband…read morelooooooves cats, so we decided to adopt a cat, specifically an older cat, as kittens, while adorable, are a little high energy and high maintenance for us. We were planning on adopting a cat sometime this summer, when last week, I found out that the SPCA is reducing the adoption fees on older cats (not kittens) by 50% between May 25th and May 31st. So while we weren't planning on adopting a cat just yet, we decided to take advantage of the promotion this weekend -- it was the puuuurrrrfect opportunity! We had looked at the website ahead of time, and there were some cats that we were interested in, based on their description and appearance, but you really have to meet the cat before making a decision. At the SPCA, there were a couple that we liked (neither of which we had considered from the website), and in the end, we chose the oldest cat there, at ten years old. (According to his backstory, he was surrendered because a child in the family was allergic -- so sad that after ten years he was given away.) Not only is he old, but he's also really fat, at nearly 20 lbs! But he's a lovely cat, very friendly and affectionate, although a little shy. (So far, he's spent the majority of his time hiding under the couch or bed, but he purrs a lot and likes being pet, and he has come out a few times for cuddles.) While my husband and I had been discussing adopting a cat, and from where (SPCA, VOKRA, Cat Therapy & Rescue, etc), I was worried that it would be a huge hassle and that we would be rejected for some ridiculous reason. (VOKRA and Cat Therapy & Rescue seem a little intense -- I understand wanting to make sure that a cat goes to a good home, but good grief! Their rules and requirements are ridiculous!) However, we had no issues at all with the adoption at the SPCA. Once we decided on a cat, we filled out an application, a staff member asked us a few reasonable questions, as well as patiently answered all our questions about the cat, and it was done -- we had a kitty to take home! The cat's name was Seth Rogen, a name we hate (I don't even care for the actor), but it's wrong to change a cat's name when he's so old, so we tried calling him Seth. But the name just doesn't fit, and in the end, I'm calling him Beau, after Beau Nugget, an extremely obese cat whose weight loss journey can be watched on YouTube.

The extent Dr. Armstrong…read morehas gone instead of an apology and amendment is truly disappointing. -Review: Normally a great vet and I love Dr. Darla. This review is for an exceptional situation with a sub vet. Dr. Darla was on vacation and Dr. Kelly Armstrong took us. I had brought in my two cats more than 2 months prior to our move to Europe to make sure all their vaccine requirements were met. Unfortunately a mistake was made on their part where they missed the rabies vaccine for one of the cats. Dr. Armstrong took 3 full days to fill out the forms, instead of the day of, which I took with understanding. Once I picked up the paperwork and brought them to CFIA, I was surprised to find out that they were filled out wrong. The CFIA doctor called me in more than 4 times to clarify information written in the forms. My older cat's history previous to Dawson Street Vet Clinic wasn't added and indicated on the forms. I had to go back home and hunt down papers I had initially provided when we changed vets. My younger cat's microchip information was entered differently on different forms and had to be corrected. And worst of all my older cat couldn't travel with us because he needed to get the vaccine and wait 21 days within regulations. Consequently I lost my CFIA appointment for the day and had to postpone my flight. Since our older cat wasn't able to travel until he got a vaccine and wait 21 days, I am now force to move to a different continent alone with one of our cats, while my husband waits out the time period. We were forced to pay for 2 ticket changes, the cost of holding our place as my husband waits out the vaccine period and also had paid a few hundred dollars for the paperwork that was riddled with mistakes. I took it in stride and asked to get the missing vaccine appointment; they gave us an appointment 2 days after the incident, with no effort to amend the situation immediately. When I expressed the immense difficulty and loss I experienced due to the many missteps on their part, I was met with disdain and deflection. I was accused by Dr. Armstrong of missing the vaccine myself despite my visits to complete them starting 2 months prior to, and I was accused of not providing the paperwork myself despite having brought in printed forms that they didn't use because they also printed themselves. I was accused of not providing an address in my country of destination despite it having no relevance and having providing it to CFIA at the time of appointment. Dr. Armstrong also accused me of not telling them the country of my transfer flight, which they never asked, despite it also being an EU country and using the same exact form. She never once apologized for any mistakes. Instead she complained about having spent 6 hours on them, as if it was a favour, forgetting that I payed a fee hundred dollars for that service. After these bouts of deflection and counter-accusation and refusals of any attempt at an amendment of my losses, they denied me service for having pointed out all of their mistakes. I understand that they were also stressed about the situation, but their emotional discomfort caused by their own mistake is incomparable to the economic gravity and the extreme distress caused to me and my family by their carelessness. Luckily I found an animal hospital the moment I stepped out of there with my cat who is willing to give him the missing rabies vaccine the same day and they assured me that they have plenty of experience with filling out travel forms. Heading there now, which I wish I had done the day CFIA pointed out al the mistakes. All I can say is wait for Dr. Darla if you must come here. And to avoid working with adults who haven't learned how to apologize in person, amend their mistakes, or have consideration for the difficulties of her clients.
