| John and Margaret Smith in East Texas? Is anyone familiar with this breeder couple? Just thought I'd check before I put a deposit down. Thanks! |

East Texas is noted for BYBers, Puppy Mills and those that sell their dogs at the Canton Flea Market.

i bought a male from them a few years back...and he was a beautiful puppy. i paid like 600 bucks for him and all was well until he bit my son. i have never had a problem with a yorkie being tempermental. but i thought they were very nice and always answered questions i had regarding his care. i no longer have him...but if i had to choose again i would call them. the only thing i didnt like was how i received him....when he was old enought o pick up they met me in a walmart parkinglot and had him in a playpen. when i asked to come by they kept putting it off. and i know she has more than 20 or 30 breeding females so all year long they have 2 or 3 litters available at once...there is never a point they dont have pups www.littlehappyheartskennel.com Last edited by yorkiemama1986; 12-10-2009 at 11:20 AM. | |

You would call them again??....I certainly would NOT recommend a breeder who would not let you see where the pup's are raised....That is a huge red flag that something is wrong......20-30 females!....Again how could they give that many dogs the proper care and attention they need......I would certainly look elsewhere for a pup......Sounds like a mill.......

| They have approximately 16 puppies listed on petfinder ranging from 4 weeks up! If you go on their website and look up available puppies... then look at the names of the parents... I could only find one that they had under their sires. No - I wouldn't suggest these people.

| Good Lord - she's letting these puppies go to new homes at 6 weeks old!!! Oh, unless they're going to be shipped then you have to wait until they're 8 weeks old!!!

Well that must be new...i remember when i put the deposit down on rambo he was 5 or 6 weeks and wasn't allowed to get him til he was 8 weeks exactly. now its younger? i know she takes deposits at like 4 which even then i think is too soon because anything can happen, even until the 8th or 12th week. i know he was hypogycemic the night i brought him home but was overall healthy minus one ear infection | |

| As said, East Texas is KNOWN for BYB's and Puppy mills selling at the flea market in Canton, Texas.....no reputable breeder would sell at a flea market UGH.....I wish people would really reconsider wanting a puppy for nothing and not try and save to buy the best puppy from a reputable breeder. Patience is the key and not wanting something "NOW" and buy from the wrong person! Donna |
