Well after reading and meeting a few people that know Renee and of her operation, it truly saddens me.. I too met a puppy that I had to have, a ""chinese crested"" little girl. I was quoted a price over the phone for a crested and by the time I got out to her home it was sold.. So her price jumped up to $2500, she knew I had very good yorkies and in exchange I traded a yorkie male puppy with a show background who was absolutely gorgeous, I wanted to see the living environment.. where he would stay..Renee promised that he would be one of her house dogs and he was to my few visits.. I can't say that Renee is a bad breeder, her home was spotless and the puppy pen was clean..she is extremely knowledgable. I will agree that she is not most honest person breeding dogs, I was promised AKC papers and never received them. I have called a few times and still am not able to talk with her, too many excuses! I have not had any health problems, since learning that my dog is likely mixed with chihuahua. she does not look all Crested which I now breed.. but I love her anyway and take this experience as a part of learning. Renee also has many dogs that are co-owned by other people, and off her property. You never see the adults, which a former close friend confirmed that she has another place where they are housed in another building in cages..If she is closed down and the dogs are taken, I would like to get my yorkie male back, even neutered.. his name is ""Frankie Junior"" or at least know someone has him and he is safe.. I regret trading with her and can only hope that he is still one of house dogs and treated well..I think people are taken by her home which absolutely gorgeous and the pretty acres..Impluse buying is also the main reason why people buy from her.. she is set up to take credit cards.. to sum it up she is a PET STORE. Lastly, I do not believe breeders should sell mixes as purebreds!!
Pros: Cute puppies are misleading.. nice home, pretty grounds and Renee is a smooth talker
Cons: Bad ethics.. selling dogs with ""papers"", but not sending them..how many dogs does she really have housed at her ""other building""??
