Collier Ranch

My husband found Kelly online. He texted her and she called him back and screened him. Asking him why he wanted a puppy. and other questions and information. It was obvious she wanted to make sure her puppies go to good homes for the right reasons.
I picked up our little Leia the next day after signing papers and more info from Kelly. We have never been puppy owners before and didn’t really know what to expect. So I have followed all of Kelly’s instructions. I took her stool sample in to be tested and it came back negative. I took her to the vet last weekend and she is perfect. She eats well and does not pee or poop where she sleeps. She is such a good little doggie and we love her so much already.

I purchased my Lola a few months ago from Collier Ranch. I am not exactly sure why there are so many bad reviews. Kelly was very welcoming to me and let me see Lola and hold her. The thing people dont understand is these puppys are super fragile because of their size. I ran into the same problem with my Teacup Maltese that I did with Lola, the dogs are in a new environment and now is all by her self. My Maltese would not eat either and was losing weight. I took her to the vet and they helped me get her well. I sent a picture of Lola to Kelly and she immediately told me that her eyes did not look well. She drove to meet me half way at 9:00 at night, she brought me medicine and checked her out. She has been ok ever since. I am very pleased with my dog and she is a spitfire with a great personality. I am sorry other people on here feel otherwise about this breeder. However, I truly believe if a breeder was a scam artist or heartless, they would be like that with everyone. There are only two times I write reviews, it is when I am extremely pleased or extremely disappointed. This is one the time I am extremely pleased, Kelly continued to check on Lola, and I can tell she truly loves the dogs and is particular of who she sells them to. I could tell, she was not willing to sell me the dog right off the bat until she knew what kind of home the dog was going to. If you are looking for a cute adorable Yorkie, this is the place to get it..

Wow, 2 + years to reply is a bit long, but you are attempting to reach out, so that is positive. Unfortunately, you are wrong again, I had my dog DNA and he is not a true pure breed as you stated. I would love to get those papers you offered for «free», what, two years ago. Now everyone reading can understand why you first tried to give me another dogs papers. The real ones would have revealed that you were mistaken about the pedigree of my dog. Yes, I’m happy with the loving pet I got, I unfortunately, I way overpaid for him because I took you on your word and then you never came through with promise on the «papers». I hope you change your practices and do not «dupe» anyone else.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS BREEDER!!! BUYER BEWARE!!! Here is my testimony:
We recently purchased a Biewer Yorkie terrier pup. When I first brought her home everything was fine but she was not eating at all. We called the breeder the next day because she was not eating and she told us its because she’s in a new environment so she’s just stressed. Didn’t seem stressed to me because she was happily playing but just not eating. So this is all BULLSHIT. So fast forward to a week later she is still not consuming any food whatsoever and at this point I am worried. She finally ate a tiny bit of the food that was sent from the breeder that was given to all the other pups along with this stuff called Albon this yellow liquid med which I thought was funny that it was sent with the food in order to supposedly boost the immune system and kill any worms. Anyway she threw all that up with a horrible odor. After that incident happened she just laid there with no movement at all flat on her belly. At that point I got scared so we called the breeder and she told us to give her pancake syrup to supposedly get her to eat? ONCE AGAIN BULLSHIT. I held her and at that point she was lifeless in a state of coma/​shock. Then it gets worse! Everyone in our household was freaking out because she started having seizures. At midnight that night we rushed her into the ER vet hospital. They rushed her in right away and actually had to resuscitate her to get her breathing again then put her under I-​V. Aside from the $ 1000 that I had to pay upfront, our worries were out of control. They kept her overnight and in the morning we picked her up at 7am and rushed her to our vet where she stayed for 4 days. When we went to pick her up they did tests on her stool and found out she had coccidia which is an intestinal parasite along with Hypoglycemia (low sugar levels). We were also informed that it is contagious towards other pets. The doctor confirmed that she contracted this from the BREEDER, and being around too many other dogs and pups in a small area and not cleaning the stool/​urine in a long amount of time, and being in an unsanitary environment. After paying a large amount of money for my pup and accruing more money for the vet and hospital because she had to be on IV and under intensive care, being hand fed every 2 hours, This poor little puppy had to suffer and I assume now that the other ones under her care are infected with parasites suffering as well or God knows what else. It all makes sense now as to why she would have IV and other medications ON HAND, offering to take my pup for 5 days under her care NO THANKS. I’d rather be under the care of a professional not a breeder for this infectious parasite infection. And the vet even thought it was INSANE for her to offer that and even have all those meds. God knows where she got them from or if they’re expired. I showed the ER doctor the meds my pup was sent with from the breeder, and she was shocked because of how potent they were for a pup that only weighs 1 pound 9ounces. We called Kelly the breeder and her phone was disconnected so then I get a text from her at 3 in the morning which I thought was strange, with her new number. Anyhow, when we called on the new number there was no answer so we left a message letting her know what happened and to care for the poor other pups under her care. Still no answer or call back from her. PEOPLE, this is what me and my family have been going through this past week. This lady has a lot of issues and should be investigated by authorities or the humane society for this neglect and what she’s doing to these poor pups. Seems like all she cares about is the money and not about the well being of these precious animals. Especially after reading all the other reviews, it makes sense now. I should of done my research on this breeder before I bought my pup but hey, atleast I saved a puppies life. I’m sincerely worried about all of the other pups she has. After 5 days of being in the ER and the vet, she seems to be doing fine although she’s still on medication, she should have a full recovery in my family who genuinely loves and cares for her.
ONCE AGAIN DONT LET THIS WOMAN FOOL YOU SHE IS A MANIPULATOR AND A SALESWOMAN WHO ONLY CARES ABOUT MONEY DEEP DOWN AND NOT THE WELL BEING OF THESE POOR ANIMALS!, IN MY OPINION.
IF I HAD THE OPTION I WOULD GIVE HER ZERO STARS!!!

I bought a maltese/​shiz-​ztu mix from kelly last year… While i wasn’t sure about him at first, he turned out to be the cutest little boy ever and we love him to death. He is such a rambunctious little guy and can finally jump leaps and bounds all over the house. Amazing what a little love can do. He was bred very well, with strong teeth and pretty smart little guy, learns quickly. We named him Cosmo, and he has turn out to be the perfect companion for my little Yorkie. So glad i found him. Thank you!

My review is based purely on my personal experience.
In fact, I have gone to 2 allergy specialists and my dog has had an allergy test. He has no allergy to food. We have done all the food elimination tests. He is allergic to pollen and grasses. He also flares up if he gets bitten by just one flea. His problems are genetically inherited. I have quite an education in dog allergies as a result and the vet bills to prove it.
Buying a dog is a big commitment and Yorkies can live anywhere from 10 to 15 years. I just hope that someone reading my review learns from my experience and gets educated before purchasing a dog. That’s it.

My boyfriend and I purchased our little Rambo from Kelly on 12-​24-​2012. He is absolutely adorable and is truly tiny. He is 6 months old and is only 2lbs, we could have brought his siblings that were twice the size but half the price. Kelly has been extremely helpful anytime I have called her for anything she gets back to me immediately. I’m not going to lie after I brought Rambo I was nervous because I went online and did more research and saw all these bad reviews, but honestly people always complain and hardly ever write about a good experience. Don’t be scared to purchase your yorkie from Kelly her babies are beautiful! Rambo is my second yorkie my little girl came from another breeder and I have to say Rambo is the ideal yorkie everyone looks for ;).

DO NOT BUY A DOG FROM COLLIER RANCH /​JUST MY PUPPY /​Kelly Collier!!!
There are so many reasons why I would strongly encourage anyone seeing this review to buy a dog elsewhere. Had I known so many of her customers were disgruntled, like me, I would have never purchased my dogs from COLLIER RANCH /​JUST MY PUPPY /​Kelly Collier. (I bought two dogs from her in a 10-​day period).
During the first week of having my second dog, he had Giardia… Giardia typically manifests 7 – 10 days after initial infection. I’m not the only one who has bought a sick puppy from COLLIER RANCH /​JUST MY PUPPY /​Kelly Collier:
.
Before I bought my puppies from COLLIER RANCH /​JUST MY PUPPY /​Kelly Collier, and a few weeks after, I asked if I could see the parents to have an idea of what the puppies would look like and how healthy the parents were. Kelly Collier kept giving excuses like the dogs are out of town. I didn’t want to press the issue… but then when I informed her that one of the dogs was 9 pounds at 5 months of age (today the dog is 14 pounds), she asked for the papers back so she «would not be breeding her line again.» Turns out, she was never the «breeder», according to my dog’s AKC papers. Another Unilocal review (Jennifer Z on 8÷22÷2012) also provides evidence that she sells puppies that she did not breed.
After telling Kelly Collier about how big one of my dogs was, she offered a replacement dog saying that she expected to have new pups in «120 days» and wanted me to send her back my dog’s papers and proof of spay beforehand. I had the dog spayed, and came to Kelly Collier for a replacement, but she said she could not give a replacement after all because her dogs were sick and were not producing offspring. All the while, she was advertising puppies for sale on websites like Pet Classifieds and Animals in the USA. I actually took Kelly Collier to court and the Judge ruled in her favor because she claimed we had a contract in place that stated she wasn’t responsible… if only the Judge noticed that the contract she was waiving around wasn’t signed, and that we never had a signed contract. The same day, she had the audacity to harass me by talking about how handsome my boyfriend is and his «pleasant presence»…she even offered to sell me another «discounted» puppy for $ 1000.
Finally, the puppies I bought were supposed to be «AKC-​registered, pure-​bred Yorkies.» As a supposed reputable breeder and seller, Kelly Collier promised that the first dog would be 6 – 7 pounds and the other would be 4 pounds. The first is now 14 pounds and the second is 8 pounds. Plus, just to make the matter worse, I had my dog genetically tested and the «pure-​bred Yorkie» actually is part Biewer and Beagle mutt!
Do not be fooled! COLLIER RANCH /​JUST MY PUPPY /​Kelly Collier is a bad place to buy a dog from. Most of the 5-​star reviews on this page are not real! STAY CLEAR!

My Boyfriend and I Purchased our Lulu from Kelly a few years ago and we are extremely satisfied with Kelly’s professionalism and how she truly care for the puppies.
Lulu turned out to be a very beautiful and loving Yorkie! We love her so very much.
The reason why I am actually writing a review now after a few years was because I was looking for Kelly’s contact info to ask her a few questions and I came across Unilocal and all the negative reviews. I am really shocked because Kelly is such a great Breeder.
I also find some of the reviews ridiculous, like the lady complaining about her dog eating poop. I mean, really. If you cleaned up the poop then your dog won’t eat it.
As for me, I think that Kelly is an excellent breeder and will only go to her if I will ever get any puppy. I just wanted to write this review to show her how much I really appreciate all her patience and her understanding.
THANKS KELLY!!!

My pups have a lot of issues
When I took the dogs to my vet, she informed me the dogs were given a lot of the vaccinations that were not needed, no longer required by California law, because they do more harm that good.
Also the girl puppy has had problems with eating her own poop and not caring if she was peeing or pooing in her kennel even if you put her in for an hour.
So I just came back from having a professional trainer had my two dogs for a week to get trained, and she told me that that happens when dogs are left in small cages and their feces not cleaned regularly when they are puppies… so I don’t know what to think… I do remember that the girl puppy /​Yorkie Biewer seemed to come from somewhere else, because Kelly called her mother or someone else to find out about the birth date, she didn’t have the info there…
The Biewer is A LOT bigger than what I was told it was going to be, she is double the size as the Yorkie, and Kelly said she was going to be a small dog, maybe a pound heavier than the boy. Also she has buck lower teeth… it looks weird, but if she is pure bread and from a good breeder, that should not happen. She looks like an Ewok from Star wars.
I would not trust this «breeder» at all.
You have no idea what you are getting from her. She gives you a couple of days to take the dog back: as if you will know in a couple of days that the dog will grow to look like something completely different than what she tells you it will be. And then a year to change your dog for another? really? it’s not a car, you get attached to the dog and the dog to you — no matter what size or shape they turn out to be.
I payed top dollar for what looks to be a mutt (the Biewer), and the normal Yorkie has tons of skin and allergy problems.

I haven’t yet purchased from Kelly yet but I have spoken to her and she
has been incredible. In a society where there are so many backyard
breeders, it’s refreshing to talk to a woman who is passionate about
her puppies. Kelly is also extremely knowledgable. I highly reccommend
giving her a call if you are seeking a new family member!

My boyfriend and I recently purchased our precious little girl and I MEAN precious from Collier Ranch Yorkie and we had the best experience.
Kelly is a wonderful person to deal with! She super nice, professional, knowledgeable and very passionate about what she does because you can see how happy and healthy her puppies are.
We can’t thank her enough for giving us the best present ever, Abby!!!
She was extremely tiny and perfect!
For the record: Kelly is a great and responsible breeder, she really cares about her puppies and their well being so make the right choice and don’t hesitate to check out Kelly’s puppies!!!
Thank you Kelly!!!

Kelly, it is just a matter of time before this all catches up with you. Mama G, your review is factual. We are all here to help other Unilocalers. It’s unfortunate Unilocal didn’t exist at the time I purchased my dog from Collier Ranch. I just feel sorry for the puppies. There is definitely something not right with this place. I think they need to be investigated. It’s just a matter of time before we see Kelly and Coliier Ranch on the news.

I have to say that the experience of purchasing a Yorkshire puppy is a daunting one. I have been looking for my furry best friend for 3 years. I had to determine what breed I wanted first and since I am allergic to dogs and cats, it really limited the selection. I know that I wanted a dog that was small enough to carry w/​me everywhere and be comfortable in an apartment, hypoallergenic and of course beautiful. Finally, I decided that a Yorkshire terrier would be the way to go.
I have met and spoke w/​several breeders in the north bay. Of the top ten criteria that I had, Kelly Collier was the only one that met all my criteria and more. Here is the list of things that I needed: (1) I wanted a female Yorkie (this probably the hardest thing since they are probably the first to be sold), (2) A Yorkie w/​no health issues, (3) I wanted a Yorkie that was on the smaller side (not a teacup b/​c there is no such thing), (4) A beautiful doll face, (5) Intelligent and trainable, Yorkies are known to be difficult to house train, so I wanted a puppy that had it pretty much covered, (6) Socialized enough to be comfortable with various noises and situations, (7) Non-​agressive, i.e. food guarding issues, (8) A Yorkie that wanted to interact w/​me, some say that a male tends to bond more w/​it’s owner, (9) A breeder that had a lot of knowledge of the breed and recommended sources and supplies (list), b/​c getting a puppy is similar to welcoming a newborn, and I wanted someone that had the patience and time to get me prepared, (10) And the most important thing was that I felt comfortable enough w/​the breeder, so that in the future I could call the person and ask what to do if there was any concerns.
I happy to say that Kelly more than met all of concerns and criterion. As of today, Gypsy (the name of my Yorkie) is 100% healthy and happy. She is adjusting beautifully. She is 14 ½ weeks and she is getting her 4^th and final immunization vaccine. I have already taken her with me to San Francisco when I had my hair appointment, and even though there was chattering and hair dryers on, she did not get frightened. She behaved wonderfully and everyone thought she had the most beautiful little face. Even though she is too little to take outside, I have been training her indoors. So far she has learned the command: sit, down, go get it and bring it back. Kelly really just has the most beautiful, healthy and well-​behaved puppies. She knows what she is doing and she really made this a wonderful experience.

My Boyfriend and I got our healthy biewer puppy from Kelly C. It’s our first time owning a dog and we were a bit hesitant due to lack of experience. But Kelly made the entire process smooth, she gave us all the information and answered all our questions. We really appreciate how she went out of her way to help us out even after the purchase, and received all the proper documents together with the dog.
Before i forget to mention, the few times we went to check the puppies, we’re really surprise to see how neat and odor less they’re maintaining the puppy area. In the past we went to another breeder and it’s totally the opposite experience thou i didnt make a big deal about the smell back then, coz i thought that’s what is usually expected in a breeder’s place. But meeting Kelly and seeing how she kept her puppies, gives a buyer a pretty high expectations if they end up going to another breeder.
After a week of purchase i called kelly for more questions, I guess being a first time owner i never run out of questions. But Kelly was very helpful, answered all my question. I will definitely recommend Kelly to anyone who’s looking forward in purchasing a puppy, And If kelly didn’t have the puppy they’re looking for (as she said) she knows a lot of reputable breeder and will help to find the puppy you are looking for.

I bought my little girl from here a while ago. She is great. the experience was nothing but positive. I am minusing a star because Kelly C who reviewed below me is the woman who runs the whole thing. Its a little shady that you would pretend to be a customer to get your ratings up. Disappointing

In response to Kelley’s Comments on ⁵⁄₁₉. I have no complaints about the health of my puppy and have never claimed that I do. My complaint is directed at the crazy, unprofessional dealings with the owner, which include threats she has made to me more than once (stating she knows where I work and live), setting up fake Unilocal accounts that she used to send me messages and and constant harassment. I did at one point contact the local police due to these threats.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
THIS IS MY 4TH UPDATE (HOPEFULLY THE LAST) TO MY REVIEW OF COLLIER RANCH IN RESPONSE TO COMMENTS MADE BY THE BREEDER AGAIN THIS MONTH.
I am really hoping that this is the last time I need to respond to your comments but I WILL continue to respond when you claim outright lies in response to what should have been a reasonable transaction.
My response to Collier Ranch’s Comments on my Unilocal review:
1) TO DATE I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED MY IMMUNIZATION RECORDS FROM COLLIER RANCH YORKIES. They were not available the day we bought our puppy. The breeder assumed we would have her do the follow up immunizations but I preferred to have my vet to them. When the Vet requested I obtain the original immunization records, Collier Ranch never did produced them, for whatever reason.
2) In Collier Ranch’s Comment to my post, Kelley states something to the effect that she offered replacements, this is absolutely untrue. I never even was able to receive the first set of immunization I requested.
3) I did not forget my immunization records, they were never made available to me, even after several attempts on my part.
4) I have never been hostile to this person, I am a professional and believe in doing business as such. My Unilocal review was just that, a review of my experience with this company. Her claim that I was ever hostile was absolutely untrue. I on the other hand have received threatening emails from her long after this business transaction was completed. The stalking and harassment is ridiculous at this point.
5) Kelley also forgot to mention how many time I asked to see the parents of my Yorkie Poo. I was told that one of them was out of state being bred :-/​and that the other was also not available for some strange reason.
I would also state, carefully look at the tone and innuendo and inflection in each of the positive Unilocal comments listed for this breeder. I am sure you will find certain interesting «similarities». ALSO NOTE: ALMOST EVERY COMMENT LISTED HERE IS THE ONLY COMMENT MADE BY THAT UnilocalER??? Hmmm… I wonder why?
Finally, I would like to say that it is very sad that I must continue justifying my Unilocal review for this breeder. It is over a year later and she continues to obsess over it. If you were to focus your efforts on your business ethic rather than spreading lies it would be a much more valuable use of your time and I am sure would pay off ten fold over review.
************************************************************************
I am writing my third update in response to comments from this breeder. Please note that to date, I have NEVER received the records I requested. This breeder makes untrue statements for reason that are obvious. Be weary of purchasing from this breeder! She continues to harass me over a year later.
**********************************************************************
I am writing to update this review one more time in fairness to the breeder and in response to accusations and threats by the breeder that I have claimed that my puppy is not healthy. Let me clarify that for the most part, I think my puppy is healthy and that I have never made a claim that he is not, although I do fear he may have a liver shunt issues, which I hear can be common in this bread and I dont necessarily think it is due to the breeder.
Secondly, after several attempts to obtain my vaccine records I went ahead and moved forward vaccinating him based on verbal records from the breeder. She has also offered to send me the records but at this point I no longer need them.
So, moving on to the situation as it stands. I did offer to update my review once the issues were resolved but now I continue to be threatened with a lawsuit by the breeder. In this modern age we live in we all must function to an acceptable lever of professionalism and if so, that will also be posted on a professional forum such as Unilocal.
I have tried to be as clear and honest as possible in my review and I realize that this has been my experience and other customers may or may not share the same experience with Collier Ranch. The breeder sells lots of dogs in the bay area and I assume if things improve or if my experience was and isolated one, their rating will improve over time. But I will not be threatened into removing my review and my right to free speech.
I hope this clears the air and I wish Collier all the best luck, I do love my little bo
