I bought a Yorkie-Poo from Renee about 6 years ago. When I went there there were several dogs barking outside, about 15 of them in what looked like a pen on the side of her house. The dogs looked dirty and some had agressive behavior but didn't know better. I looked at the Yorkie-Poo she had for sale for $500 and he seemed spunky and in good health. I asked to see the parents but Renee said they were not available but didn't give me a reason and changed the subject. That should have been a red flag. I fell in love with the puppy so I bought him. My new puppy Oliver was my little companion and loved him more that anything. After I took him home Oliver had bowel issues, cronic cough all his life, teary eyes and was always very anxious around other people and dogs. I'm sad to say Oliver passed away a few months ago from a liver issue. He suddenly was sick one day so I took him to the vet, they ran several tests and found his liver enzymes were elevated. They believe he had liver failure. I was devestated when he passed. I couldn't even imagine my life without him and I'm still coping the pain and loss. I believe the health issues were due to poor breeding and also his anxious behavior was a sign of a dog that was not well socialized before he was sold. After seeing the horrible story on the news about the county trying to shut down Renee's puppy mill I would not buy from her again. The odds of receiving a puppy without health issues are slim. I can't tell you how much I spent on vet bills with Oliver's health issues. Of course I would have paid anything to help him but he shouldn't have been sick in the first place. I'm just glad I was able to rescue him from that horrible place and give him a loving and caring home. Toe everyone: PLEASE do your research before you buy from Renee or any breeder. DO not support her puppy mill business it's just not ethical.
Cons: Everything! DOn't buy from a puppy mill
