| Get Ready...I think you will hear from lost of Yorkie Talkers about Diva Pups... I don't think it comes well respected~ I got my puppy from a local breeder...that is usually the best way to go..and Yorkie Talkers here on this board also know of Wonderful Breeders to share too~ Good Luck!

| I just posted to your other thread. Tino and Bunny came from two different breeders in TX. I know you said you wanted someone local and even though I'm originally from Winter Park, I don't know of any breeders in Central Florida. I would start with the local club contact or go to a meet up in Orlando and find out which breeders some of the meet up members used. Going to a meet up is great bc you can ask about health issues and you can see the personalities.

| If you know the right questions to ask and what to look for to find a good breeder (you can get all of that from a search here) you can also use breeders.net and plug in your zip code. You just must know that they are not all reputable so you need to check it out carefully. Good luck. |

| I know this is a little off the topic. But I just looked at thier site for the first time. Those are some of the most exdpensive dogs and products that I have ever seen. WHy do they think they can get that much for them? And alot of their items in thier shop are from petedge. They have them marked up like 400%! I was just kinda shocked.

| I have posted this before but I have heard HORRIBLE things about Divapup.. They are actually right near me (if its the place i am thinking of).. I know someone who got a yorkie from there and it died 2 weeks later.. They gave her another one and that one also died within a couple of months... There is another person in my town who did get hers from there and she was very happy.. I would never order anything from there (Shana said, they are VERY expensice) They even have a spa to take your pet!! Good luck and like i said I am 100% sure but i think some of there dogs are probably from puppy mills

| I have never done business with DivaPup, but they have been around a while. My understanding is that they are a "network of breeders" who pay for advertising on the site and I think Elizabeth, one of the owners, is a broker as well. Here is a link to what they define as their breeder standards. You all are smart enough to know that they can SAY or print what their policies and standards are but it is what happens in actuality that matters. Please be careful and check things out carefully before buying a puppy from anyone. http://www.divapup.com/standards.asp |
