Has anyone ever heard of Misty Irwin, from TN? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Just wondering if anyone has ever heard of a breeder named Misty Irwin, in Norris, TN?

My little rescued Yorkie, Bear, was originally pruchased form her. His papers say that he is CKC registered and his Sire is Whispering Pines, Mr. Romeo, and his Dam is Whispering Pines, Tiny Venus. When I called Misty to tell her that I had Bear, and to ask a few questions about his adoption/shot records (assuming she had some record of who adopted him), and if she could email me pictures of his parents, she asked me what his birthdate was and what his parents names were. I had already told her he was 5 months old.

Shouldn't she know this? She said that he'd had his first set of shots and 3 wormings before leaving her. She told me that she only had a few litters a year. I again asked her if she could send me pictures of his parents and she said she was really busy. After asking a few different times, she finally asked me to txt her my email address and she would send me pics of the father. Wouldn't she have the mother too? I sent my email to her # but got a reply back that it was an invalid #?? I called her today to ask her if the parents ears were up or down. She told me taht both were up and that she was working and couldn't talk. She didn't say "I'm working but you can call me or I will call you at a better time". she just acts bothered by my questions.

Wouldn't a reputable breeder be willing to talk to someone who has rescued one of their pups and be happy to answer any question?

I certainly WOULD NOT RECOMMEND Misty Irwin as a breeder for Yorkies!!!

She also told me that she adopts them out at 8 wks if they are eating on their own.

She acted like his litter was sold a long time ago. It couldn't have been much more than 3 months. He was born on 7/30/11.

She lied to me and told me this was her cell phone. I just looked it up, and it's a landline!! She said to txt her my email and she'd send me a pic of Romeo.

Maybe it's a sign that she really doesn't care for the puppies.

If this helps, we care!

I'm sure he's happy and healthy in his new home.

I called her again and it must be set up to ring into this Sprint cell #
865-740-2325. I sent her a txt asking her to email me photos of Bear's parents. I hope she does.

Steph she is probably a BYB or worse a puppy mill. She couldn't have checked out where Bear was going to begin with or she would have never sold him to such a young girl

I am so glad he has you for his mommy now.

She must not. I hope I can prevent at least one person from buying from her in the future.

Thanks for caring!

I just wish I could see pics of his parents.

That's what I was thinking too. Thank you. As you know, he is such a lover boy!

I wish I could see pictures of his parents.

no wonder she had know idea what litter I was talking about! I'm going to go take a look. I had a bad feeling about her last Friday, when I called to ask questions. She was so cluless.

I bought my yorkie from her about 2 months ago, its hair is growing oddly and not very fast, her CKC papers says she is purebred but im not for sure, i was wondering if your yorkies hair also grew differently?

Just like people dogs hair grows differently in each dog in every breed....however your pups issue may be from poor quality breeding. If you can post a picture?
