I bought a Morkie puppy from this store 6 mths ago. We adore her but she has many problems from health issues to emotional problems. The dog is adorable and very loving to me but has extreme fear based aggression issues to the point that we can not have company in the house, she can not be around other dogs, I can not use a dog walker because she is so scared to walk on the street that I have to put her in a bag and walk her many blocks away because the minute I put her down she runs home, I have to watch her at all times because she lunges at people as well as dogs - and frankly everyone is terrified of my cute and adorable 6lb puppy. I have spent thousands of dollars already on trainers (private sessions with top NYC dog trainers - she was basically thrown out of a group class because she was too agressive and scared to be in a class) and spent hours and hours socilaizing her from the day I adopted her on the advice of trainers and my vet, leaving work early just so that she could go to puppy play group and class. She has become so bad now my vet has told me that I need to see a vetrinary behaviorist because the dog may need medicine. EVERY trainer I have worked with and my vet tell me that this type of fear agression is genetic so one of her parents had this problem or she was in a puppy mill environment. I called and asked to speak to the owners several times and I never received a call back, despite the fact that I spent over $2,000 at the store with all the extra crap they insisted I needed to buy including a bunch of food she cant eat because she has such bad allergies. All I can say is that my dog is very lucky that I adopted her because many other people would not have the patience, time or money to take care of her like I do and she would just be another cast away and I cringe to think what would have happended to her if she had been adopted by another family that would not have put up with her special needs. I do not fault the owners of this store for my dogs problems assuming they are in fact purchasing the dogs from reputable breeders but I take great issue with the fact that after spending so much money at their store that they could not even have the courtesy to retrun my calls
