| Oakgate Yorkshire Terriers Yesterday, my husband & I had the pleasure of meeting Kathy Weems, of Oakgate Yorkshire Terriers. We went to her home in Frankfort, IL to look at puppies. First, let me tell you, Kathy is an absolutely lovely lady. And she loves her Yorkies! They're her kids! We were so impressed with the way she interacts with each one of them. They are very well socialized. We were able to sit on the "puppy room" floor and play with a beautiful litter of 5 darling puppies. And the Sire & Dam, as well. We chose the most adorable little female. Kathy is very careful with her puppies. The puppies were 10 weeks old, yesterday, but she is keeping them until the 1st week of November, because she feels they are too tiny to go home yet, and need more time with their Mom. That really impressed us! Their Dam plays with the puppies, as if she were a puppy, herself, and I will admit, I fell in love with her! She is keeping two beautiful boys to Show, but, if anyone is looking for a puppy, she still has another beautiful little boy and a precious little girl, available. But don't wait too long, because someone is going to snap these babies up fast! The Sire and Dam were stunning! Both are Champions. Her home, her puppy room, are immaculate. And each one of her Yorkies, was perfectly groomed. Sheila |

But Kathy Weems is just an amazing lady! She has the Rothby and Pastoral blood-lines, actively Shows, and oh-so-obviously loves her Yorkies, that I had to post a review. Her Yorkies are just breathtaking, and all of her adults are Champions, with one that she is now Showing to her Championship. Very truthfully, each of the puppies in her litter could be Shown-they are simply gorgeous! Thank you for the congratulations-we are looking forward to the addition of our tiny Cheslea to our family. My husband and I feel blessed-we got her name from the YTCA referral list, and she lives 4 miles from my favorite cousin. Sheila | |

I was delighted to find Kathy Weems. I always visit the breeders house. I've always bought my Yorkies from Confirmation Show breeders. I think I was so fortunate, 31 years ago, because a friend, introduced me to my 1st Confirmation Show breeder, so my 1st Yorkie came from him, and I was never willing to settle for less. I learned, the importance of Confirmation breeding. | |

Actually, the timing is good-I have 5 more weeks of nerve treatment at the hospital for one of my MS symptoms, and I never would leave a new puppy home, until I was absolutely certain that she felt safe and secure in her new home. Just knowing that she is joining our family is enough. And I have so much respect for Kathy, keeping the puppies until she feels they are ready for their new homes. I know I am getting a healthy, well socialized, healthy puppy. So worth the wait! | |

| Thank you-it felt great to be able to post a good review! We see so many heartbreaking stories, about bad breeders, and I wanted to post my experience with Kathy Weems, so people would reliaze the importance of going to a responsible, Confirmation breeder, that stands behind her dogs. I hope to save someone, a heartbreak. Sheila |
