| OMG, did you check out the boys pedigrees(i couldn't open the girls)? Tons of Champions. I have never gotten a puppy from them. I liked how they had the boys and girls listed and on the puppy page had who the parents were. I wonder what the prices are. those are really impressive pedigrees.

| I don't recognize the kennel. Pups are at least 12 weeks old which is good not too young to go to a new home. If you are looking for a pet, likley would be okay but check on any guarantees on the pup. Yes the pedigree is reasonably impressive but that doesn't mean these puppies are show quality. Show quality cannot be determined in Yorkies until at least 6 months, older is better. There are many important things to consider in determining a show quality that in Yorkies, can change as they get older. Some things that you won't know for sure until closer to a year are colour ie will it stay a steel blue/tan or go light? and size ie too big or too small. Often coat type can't be determined until 4- 6 months of age to be certain. In my own dogs, I can do a wonderful breeding, many many champions in the pedigree. There can be say 3 pups. One may be show quality, one could be going too light, the other too big, or bad earset, or not a good topline if you get the idea of what I am talking about. All three pups are the same litter, same pedigree. The one that looks like it could be show qualilty I would hold back until it is much older, at least 6 months. As the other two mature to over 3 months, I watch them and when I see something that says, no this is not a show quality, not something I want in my breeding program or anyone else's, those are sold for pet, either already neuter/spayed or under nonbreeding neuter/spay contracts. |

| Lorraine, you are so right. I had a little male from the first litter that I adored. I kept him as a pet and I swear, I worshipped the ground he walked on. Pat and I repeated that same breeding 4 more times and never got another Jesse. Those pics that say" This is how the puppies from the last litter looked" are worthless in an ad.. Pedigrees often do not mean diddly-squat but that does not affect the quality of the puppy as a pet.. |

| When you are looking at websites you want to see puppies perhaps sold before and more important the adults. Puppies are cute but what will they look like full grown? Is this a reasonably good Yorkie even ones for pet? It has taken a while for me to establish my line. I have a certain type that I breed for and keep in my show dogs. The ones I have sold for pet, I am told by their owners, when they run into someone else with one of my dogs can look at it and will ask them if theirs came from me as they recognize it is very similar to theirs that they got from me. This is true of many show breeders for those they have sold for pet. they are still pet quality but very nice pet quality, look like Yorkies with no doubt that they are purebred registered. Over the years I think my puppies I have sold for pet have improved in type along with the show dogs I have kept of my breeding. I learned that from a show breeder, it isn't just your show dogs you want to focus on, also see how the ones are turning out that you sold for pet. When I look for other bloodlines to bring into mine, I look for similar type and find it. I like to see the prospective stud I want to use, especially see it in the rings so I can see for myself movement animation etc. I compare what this stud has to offer to what I have and want to improve. Pedigree on that stud is important and I also want to know the dogs that make up that pedigree. If the stud has been used for breeding before, then it is really important for me to see what he has produced with different bitches. If the stud isn't local, I like to ask a friend that has seen it what they think of it. With that mating I am hoping for a show quality. Doesn't always work out that way and what I have that isn't show quality again are exceptional pets. And no, I don't charge more because there are champions in the pedigree. I wouldn't be breeding them at all if there weren't champions there. The only time the price is higher is when I have a known show dog I am selling to a known show home and have been convinced that I can trust them with my line and the lines that established my kennel name. Otherwise they are sold for pet either already spay/neutered or with non breeding contracts if I decide to trust the buyer who is local anyway, and sold for pet prices. |

| Jendas yorkies If you're still interested, I've purchased 3 dogs from Jendas yorkies. The breeders name is Mary Lou and I've found her to be trustworthy and very helpful. I'm just starting a dog that I got from her and after 3 matches feel that he's very promising. I've bought a show prospect bitch that looks great so far and my pet quality dog (my first yorkie) sold me on the breed. She's got beautiful animals so check it out! Tami (Ladyhawk Yorkies) |

| I made the error in judgement of buying a dog from Jendas. The breeder's name is Jennifer. I won't add her last name but I sent a wire for payment to her bank account, not any Mary Lou. It's amazing how so many people just joined to hype this breeder, TRY AT LEAST TO GET YOUR FACTS CORRECT! Jessica |

| Jendas prettypuppypink, I'm sorry if you had a bad experience with Jennifer. My facts are correct as I know them. Jennifer is Mary Lou's daughter. She does the bulk of the showing and assists her mother with the breeding. As I said I've purchased 3 dogs from her, one of which I'm presently showing and have found them to be sound and of excellent temperment. Mary Lou herself has been helpful and honest with me. I don't know the circumstances behind your bad experience with them but my own has been good and that was what you asked for, my experience. If I can help you rectify your bad experience let me know. |

| My boy, Choco latte, is from Mary Lou, I have had him since early May. I had a good exper w/her and I would recommend her to anyone who asked for a breeder in FL. She answered all my questions and I send her an email and new pics every month or two. Here are pics of him when I first got him to a pic w/i the last month.
