Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Both These Breeders Are Very Bad!! [B] If you are in Texas - here are 2 that I am filing on - I have personally been to both! http://www.lloversyorkies.com Betty and this is a REALLY BAD ONE - http://www.yorkiecity.com BRUSHY as (Shady) Creek Kennels - Check BBB On this they are in HOCKLEY TX. This woman had a dirty, sick puppy (with the most awful bite) - poor thing probably couldn't eat...and tried to sell her for almost $1000.00 plus many, many, dogs barking outdoors in the back that we were never allowed to see. Actually - we never made it through the front office! She was a very nasty woman when we called her out on the mis-representation of her dogs. (After driving a long way to see them) Llovers Yorkies has her dogs kept outside - shaved down all the time - breedes the same dogs over and over. Also - she will refer people to another lady - Sandra and these 2 have a scam going...(I've checked cause that's where we got our 1st Yorkie) and she also mis-represents her dogs. |

| Great Breeder I recently purchased two tiny sisters from a breeder in Ohio. Her name is Terri Wylie and the web site is http://www.fairviewyorkies.com. The girls were flown counter to counter from Akron to San Francisco and arrived healthy and adorable. They were vet checked; up on all their shots including rabies because we live in California and Terri provides a one-year health guarantee. The sisters are also AKC registered. All of this is standard from a reputable breeder. However, what was most impressive for me was the communication I had with her prior and after I bought the pups. She always answered any e-mail from me promptly. And whenever I phoned with a question she returned my call within a few hours. Yes, she does breed wee ones, my girls Martini and Sunshine are both under 3 pounds at 8 months. But she is a conscientious breeder who spoke to me over an hour about the health and safety of tiny yorkies...and this was a return call to me, on her nickel. Truly the very best way to find a reputable breeder is word of mouth. I would recommend Fairview Yorkies and Terri Wylie. I am going to post the girls pictures soon...they are so cute and what personalities!! One last piece of advice if you do decide to buy a puppy on the Internet and cannot find anyone who can give a testimonial, "Goggle" the breeder and the web site. I did this with numerous web sites and the bad sure does surface to the top quickly.... Once you are satisfied with the breeder pay with "Paypal" if at all possible. This way if something does goes wrong you have a good chance of getting your money back. There is something now called "Puppy Escrow" which places your payment in an escrow account. I haven't used it but it seems like a great way to make sure that both the breeder and the buyer won't be scammed. E-mail me anytime to find out more about my experiences. I spent a number of months researching and would be happy to let you know the good, the bad and the ugly... |

| Bad Breeders [ Wow...just goes to show...you can't tell the good breeders by their marketing strategies. I went to the website and they sound professional! 30 years experience...blah..blah...blah.. I guess the best way to find what we're looking for is to go to the shows and talk with the consistent breeders and exhibitors and get a better feel. Which poses the second question...where are the local dog shows for different areas of the country posted? One good thing though...at least you know when you see something physically wrong with the pup! I'd probably take a look at him and say "oh cute...see how his tongue sticks out!

| We got our pups from www.yorkiepup.com they are near Paris TX. Jeff Dane is a great guy. He raises yorkies full time for about the past 20 years. He has about 100 of his own that run around on his property, protected by these big dogs (i forgot what they were called), they are on camera in his office. His kennels are nice, clean. His children help with care, and do a little breeding of their own. He has a great website with a lot of helpful advice about yorkies. He stays up with each mom when her temp goes up to make sure everything goes good. I love to go back and look at his website and remember when we were there. His pups are reasonably priced and very good quality. We saw his wife's little 1.5# dog pictured on the website. He was offered $25,000 for him and turned it down - it was his wife's dog. They are also well able to care for such a small dog. Did I say I thought he was great!

| 100 pups? Call me crazy...and I know I'm really new at all this puppy breeding stuff...but if he has a hundred dogs of his own....who in the heck is taking care of the rest of them? It sounds like a puppy mill ...of course, I've never been there, so I could be wrong...but geesh...I don't know...I think I'd rather go with a small professional breeder...one that was raised in the home and socialized...I mean...how do you give the kind of one on one attention a puppy needs to be a great companion? (Scratching head on this one...shrug) : Quote:

Donating YT 14K Club Member | Does anyone remember a little while back posting a female pup he had on his site for $10,000? I couldn't find it the other day when I was searching.
