Hi guys, I've been hunting around for reputable breeders near the eastern side of iowa and quad city area and chicago area. I have found a breeder in Milan, Illinois called Precious Little Paws. Has anyone heard of this breeder.

After going through petland's mess of a deal with Kylie, we really want to find a great breeder for the future.

the website i found was www.preciouslittlepaws.com

Thanks all!

She has designer breeds?

tobysmom328 · 03-19-2008, 07:55 AM

yeah.. i was kinda questioning that myself. Does anyone know anything about Chocolate Yorkies? Are they an actual "breed" like Briewers or !?! I'm just wondering. I have been interested in morkies in the past and just can't decide what I want.

i heard that there is another site yorksmorksandmalts.com that is her mother's site!?

i just came across this site yesterday and wondered that because i am looking for a chocolate or a biewer!

I'd keep looking. First off...I'm not impressed with her breeding females looks. She has females registered with two different registries...apri and akc. Her chocolate male is ckc, two maltese, and the biewer which is not recognized by akc. If you are seeking an AKC registerable puppy....you will not be able to. Other than the chocolate...she doesn't appear to be a yorkie breeder to me unless she is using a stud not on that website. He is a recent addition. Chocolate yorkies are not another breed...they are yorkies with a color deviant. Mating a standard colored yorkie to a chocolate...will probably not result in more chocolate puppies.

I am not a fan of guarantees that do not offer refunds only replacement puppies.

Liver shunt has become quite an issue in biewer lines. I wouldn't purchase one that did not have genetic testing, nor any yorkie for that matter.

I wouldn't purchase from anyone selling "designer" breeds. I don't care what spin they put on it. If I were looking for a mixed breed dog or puppy, I'd go to my local animal shelter...they are filled with them.

Good luck!!

If you want to find a reputable yorkie breeder I highly recommend going to www.ytca.org and looking at their breeder list. These breeders should be following the YTCA's code of ethics. Being on that list does not guarantee they are ethical but its a good starting place...always ask questions.

Please don't support unethical breeding by paying a high price for a mixed breed dog. There are plenty of mixes (and purebreds) in shelters and rescues if you want a mix. Don't support a backyard breeder

there are way to many mixs in pounds shelters and on the streets i just do not get how someone could sale or buy designer dogs ! to each their own i guess i just dont like the whole idea myself!

Thanks, I have looked around more on their site and decided they aren't even an option anymore. Thanks all!

I'd pass on that breeder also....her guarantee is worthless. Most congenital conditions ARE treatable...whether the puppy survives is another story. Congential heart failure is treatable, lp is treatable, liver shunt is treatable...the list goes on and on...

Personally I think her prices are outrageous....especially given her no guarantee, guarantee.

Copied and pasted from her guarantee page

Purchaser may have this puppy examined by a licensed Veterinarian and call the Seller within 24 hours of receipt of puppy if there is a congenital life threatening, non treatable condition only. Seller warrants the puppy for a congenital life threatening, non treatable condition only
