| How many? I can see that most of the breeders here keep all of their yorkies in their homes. The most I ever had at one time was 3, and I was illegal, (2 being the max in a city). Even tho my name on here might sound like a kennel, I actually live in a townhouse right now and can have only 1 dog. (I have 2 and just got quizzed about it from my HOA). How do you guys have 5 or 6 in a residential neighborhood. I'm sure this is a stupid question, but I have begun my search for property in the country that has animal rights. I could never imagine a yorkie in a kennel, so acreage seems extreme. Do you let them outside in shifts of 2 or something, or are my neighbors (soon to be EX-neighbors) just exceptionally nosey. I mean both dogs total 6 lbs. and are not barkers. I plan to spend the rest of my life striving to create the perfect yorkie, although I can't see having more than 5-6 dogs at the most. Shouldn't need an acre for that, especially when they're mostly in the house. Mine are never even outside long without supervision, as there are hawks and eagles. Like I said, I understand this is a stupid question, but I sure would like to know if there are ways around it. I'm already living in the boonies. Thanks, Janet |

| Thank you for responding to such a strange question. But, I'm not done with you, yet. LOL. What kind of license would I ask about? Other than kennel, which I will not get. (kennel and Yorkie should never even be in the same sentence, IMO) |

| Here is a site to visit: http://www.nokillnow.com/petlimitlawunconst.htm it was found to be against your constitutional rights to limit the dogs in your home. If the dogs are well cared for that is! You can also req. info from AKC to send to your city stating this. The owners did have pay all court costs. Then on the other hand there is this website to visit http://www.animallaw.info/articles/d...ordinances.htm.

| WOW. Thank you so much. Absolutely fascinating. Unfortunately, we live in a planned development that has CCR's that would take precedence. But, I can certainly use this information in my new place when I find it! I'm at least 15 mths away from puppies anyway, if not longer, as my sweet baby is only 15 weeks old tomorrow and still only weighs 2 lbs 7 ozs. (I weigh her twice a day). I've delivered 4.5 lb female before, but I don't like it, and if she doesn't reach at least that size, she' not dating! Again, thank you. Janet |

| El Paso, Texas does not have a limit on the number as long as they are cared for properly. I have three Yorkies and an Alaskan Malamute. |

| I think there are a lot of people who ignore the ordinances. the catchin come before the hangin. However, I have wondered the same thing. I live in the country and the county also has an ordinace. I believe I can have three females and one male, without having to apply for a kennel license. A kennel license is issued by the Dept of Agriculture. and then you have to follow certain rules cooncerning fhousing and such, and be subject to inspections by the dept of Ag. I know of one breeder that has 25 full time dogs. All of them in her house. But most breeders are probably hesitant to anounce over the internet that they have more dogs than they are allowed. You never know who might be lurking. |

| Wow. 25 yorkies. I just love them to death, but I can't imagine this scenario. Wonder if she remembers all their names. If anyone would like a chuckle, look up Beaver Dam, Az. on your map. I just bought an acre over there to build on. Thank heavens my hubby loves yorkies as much as I do. This hobby breeding is already costing me a fortune. LOL. But, I do have specific goals in mind, and one of them is setting the dark blue back in the color without sacrificing the true silk. |
