| New Puppy from Trena's Toys near DFW, TX Hi, I've posted this question in the regional thread but noticed that thread is old, so I'm resubmitting it in the hopes that others will have info in this breeder. Thanks so much! A few weeks ago, I visited Trena's kennel and placed a deposit on a male puppy of hers. The plan is to pick up the puppy next week (it will be old enough then). I was very impressed with the cleanliness and Trena's apparent wealth of knowledge. The mother appears very healthy and energetic; all the Yorkies I saw appeared energetic & actively playing, except for the sire, maybe he was just very tired then. The dogs were well groomed, and clean, with short cuts. All were quite happy!! The sire, a very tiny Yorkie (under 3 lbs.) had sparkely eyes and showed no sign of distress, but he didn't want to get up on his feet - I observed him being weighed. He did not appear to be hurting or in any distress, just didn't get up on his legs. Are there times when this breed just likes laying around, maybe like a bloodhound likes to do? I have been reading all the posts and books I can get my hands on and want to be as sure as I can that I get a healthy pup. Is anyone happy with the pups purchased from her? When a dog is "pet-quality", does that mean that the coats are not capable of being long?????? I am very early-retired (spine disease) and will have the time to attend to the needs of a longer coat. Do you think it will grow out ok? The puppy's parents are pictured on her website - Kim and Tatum. They are so adorable! If someone has the time, could you take a peek at the pics and tell me what you think of them? Does Tatum's legs look like what is referred to as a "red legged Yorkie"? Maybe this is just the quality of the pic. I didn't get a good look at the sire's leg color at the visit. Please do not misunderstand, I have nothing bad to say about this breeder!!! My first impression was very favorable! I am just very concerned because I have no experience with this breed (used to have weimaraners) - a big change for me. Trena seems very sincere. I'm just a worry-wart. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks. |

Checked the Guarantee and will only offer a replacement put if the pup is found with a congenital defect within two years. Will only cover parvo or coccidia for 72 hours.....mmmmm

| I just noticed in the other thread where you originally posted that FuFu Fashions on YT has a Yorkie from Trenas toys. I noticed that the website says all her puppies are registered with the Universal Kennel Club - I have never heard of that one before.

Like I stated I've had my hands on one of her dogs....cute, small and soft coated, with LP. The other pup as I stated had ring worm, this person wanted a pup from me but, I only hand boys and ended up with a girl from my mentor. I haven't been to her site in a long time but, I do remember her dog's were on the small side and soft coated. I thought she was in Grandbury, but she's in Weatherford not far from each other.

| Yes, Trenas Toys Yes this is Trenas Toys. She is in Weatherford. How can a puppy get ringworm I guess has to be from the mother? Would it be reasonable to ask her to include guaranteeing to be free of ringworm since puppy is slated to go to otherwise nonhuman, mammal-free home since pup can't contract it from new home environment? Anything else? Please feel free to be concrete with suggestions, I would appreciate that. Thanks. Feel so confident in my puppy behavior skills and so IGNORANT in my puppy purchasing skills! Thanks all. |

| From UKC home page/ "Established in 1898, the United Kennel Club is the largest all-breed performance-dog registry in the world, registering dogs from all 50 states and 25 foreign countries. More than 60 percent of its 15,000 annually licensed events are tests of hunting ability, training and instinct. UKC prides itself on its family-oriented, friendly, educational events. The UKC has supported the "Total Dog" philosophy through its events and programs for over a century. As a departure from registries that place emphasis on a dog’s looks, UKC events are designed for dogs that look and perform equally well. Our mission is to be the world's best registry of purebred dogs, to offer our customers the most efficient and creative services possible, to use our data to help our customers breed the best dogs in the world and to create a wide spectrum of performance and conformation events in which those dogs can prove their instincts and heritage." Again, this is the United Kennel Club not the same as Universal kennel Club. |

| Soft Coat? Do, does having a soft coat mean that the fur is unlikely to be capable of attaining a long coat that the Yorkie breed is known for? |

| It will grow just fine and probably be very thick as well. But, a soft coat mats much, much easier and it will be a lot more work on your part if you want the coat to be long. It is easier for you (and the dog) to have a short cut if they are cotton coated.

I would be very cautious in purchasing a dog without more information regarding her breeding stock. If not, be prepared to afford the vetting that could come from a dog with problems.
