New Here..:-))with a few questions.

[llc328]

Hello all......... .

I have been lurking here for a bit.. GREAT Board..:-) Sooooooo Informative and friendly...

I am owned my a 5 month old Yorkie girl named Daisy Mae........ a black lab mix girl named Keita......... 4 parrots.. Cockatiel.(Cutie). Quaker..(Boomer) Electus.. (Sami) and a Blue and gold Macaw (Sydney)).. and 2 cats..(Boots and Bandit)......... I also have 3 human children and One husband..lol..

I am looking to possibly get another yorkie girl to add to my loving family.(Daisy desperatly needs a playmate.. Plus.. while I am in Puppy mode over here.. I thought it might be easier to add another.?. while I am training her... I came across this website/breeder..www.yorkiepup.com and fell in love with one of their babies............. I wondered if anyone has purchased from them?.. I purchased my baby girl from a pet store......... before I knew of the puppy mills.... .... and how terrible they are.. I learned all about that from here......... I LOVE her dearly and do not regret getting her.. but if I learned what I know now.. I would not have even entered that pet store.. But.. fate has it.. that she was meant to be with me.. She is a doll.......... so well behaved.. and fits right into our crazy home..lol..

Please.. if anyone has any information about that site.. please let me know?.. I am so afraid of scams.. and loosing money once its paid.. with no puppy in return...I have never ever had any animal I own shipped to me.. so that scares me too.,...

I hope I posted this in the right section.. I wasn't sure where to post it..

I have to say hello to Joy!!!! from Furbabyboutique..We have spoke several times and I have a few of her Wonderful creations.. and also Shana from Tinkerbells closet.. I have her Beautiful heart rhinestone clips..They are such lovely ladies..

I am glad to be here.. and I hope to learn how to post picture soon..:-))) I would love to share my fur/feather.. family with you all..:-))

Thanks.....Laurie

Hi Laurie and welcome to YT.....You sound like you have a great family!!

I have never purchased from this breeder but I have spoken to the owner, Jeff Dane on the phone and I have read his site and looked at the photos and description of his facility. I have nothing bad to say about him and one of the reasons is that a member here that I love and trust, Laura, got two babies from him, visited the kennel and raved about it. She loves her babies, had a litter and kept them all I think. I would PM Laura for more info if I were you.

There are people on here who will say they do not like this breeder for many reasons and they will even tell you that in their opinion he is a puppymill due to the sheer numbers of yorkies he has and the prices he charges. They will also tell you that there are bad stories about him on the internet. He has sold a lot of dogs and people who don't know any better and want someone to blame will blame breeders for some things that are not their fault. I think you will find negative stories and you should research him and talk to him and judge for yourself. JMHO

Good luck.

Welcome, its so nice to have you join us. Wow! you must have a lot of fun at home with all those companions. I am sure your are showered with love. As for yorkiepup, If you decide to purchase from that site I sincerely think you will regret it. They are mass breeders and from what I've heard (horror stories) they don't stand behind their puppies when they are sick. I don't think they would steel your money but as far as quality companion goes that sure ain't the place to look for one. I really think you would be better of looking elsewhere. I read a story online of someone who bought a pup from there it got sick she contacted Jeff dane the owner and he prescribed cough syrup and said the pup would get better, long story short, the pup died this lady contacted him (Jeff Dane) and he never answered phone calls and when she was able to get a hold of him he was very abrupt. Welcome again and I sure hope this helps in making a decision.

Hello and welcome to YT. The website you listed has been discussed here and people have some very strong feelings about it. Maybe do a search - here and the rest of the web - on Jeff Dane and decide for yourself. Personally, I would not buy from him.
I can't wait to see pictures.

I totally respect your opinion but I am sorry, you can see on his sight he is a mass breeder, and some of the pups he has for sale speak for them selves. They sure scream out the fact that not much thought was put into their bringing into this world as they are very poor quality. I really don't believe in this person . I will say though I have never spoken to him or meet him and I never intend to.

Try maybe www.puppyfind.com and speak individually to anyone who has a puppy you may like. Here is the down fall though. There are very cute pictures of pups for sale at cheap prices and they are stolen pictures and these people just want to scam you. Anything from Africa or Cameroon you want to stay away from. It will show you where the person is located at the bottom of each ad. Good luck. maybe someone here can help you if you tell them what your looking for and what you budget is.

[llc328]

Thanks....

I did look there.. but the whole site scared me..lol ..Not sure what to think?.. I am sooooooooo afraid to be scammed..

thanks for the idea though.. I would rather maybe be lead to a reputable breeder.. maybe from someone on here..

I have never seen this site before, but I looked at all the pups available, and some of them were quite darling, but others did not look too good. I really didn't like that he had special deals, like he was knocking down the price to get rid of them easier. Usually when people care about there pups and where they end up going, they try their hardest to look for quality families, not the first person to offer them the money. I also did not like that he purposefully breeds t-cups, and says they come from champion lines, thats bull, most of them looked real sickly. Some of them were like 1 lb full grown, that is way to small!! to even be healthy, and then to ask for $7ooo for the pup is outrageous. I personally would buy from someone who doesn't mass produce, I mean how much attention do you think these pups are getting, and how much socialization is he offering them, he has way to many, to take care of them responsibly. I like breeders who know their dogs and let them live with them in their house, that in itself would be reassuring to me. Well thats just my 2 cents. Good luck with your search!

[llc328]

Thank you for your post............ I did ask about why some were reduced.. and it was said that they are expecting more.. so thats why..

I know.. some were so adorable.. others looked sad....

Thanks.. I hope the right puppy comes along.. Daisy did.. but she was from a pet store.. I really do not want ot go that route again.. Althouh.. if I didn't walk in there that day.. she would not be mine,,

My thoughts exactly.

My suggestion would be to find a local breeder, go visit their house, see the parents of the puppies, what kind of environment they live in, How well socialized the pups are... then you know more and will feel good about it.

check www.breeders.net and type in your zip code....

Happy Hunting
