I spoke to a man who identified himself as Gary Zumbach (Caucasian male, about 50 years old, 5’8”, 185 lbs., with short black, grey, and white hair, a short grey and white goatee, and glasses). Gary told me that he and his wife breed Yorkshire Terriers and that they sell them to pet stores and customers “out the door.”
Statements made by Gary Zumbach contradicting pet store claims
I asked Gary, “Do pet stores come out and inspect you, and stuff like that?” He responded, “No.” He then added that he and his wife used to sell to Petland. He mentioned that Petland would inspect them as part of Petland’s protocol but that no other stores have inspected his facility. This contradicts the claim by Puppy City (Brooklyn, NY) that they visit their breeders every three to four months.
