| hmmmmmmmm Can she find a Breeder near her home? I would want to go see the pup first. If she wants a on-line pup, I would check this site, we have lots of really good Breeders, who care about their babies. Some of the on-line places, are just breeding to breed. At least that's what I have heard. I would look in to it first. Good Luck!

| Yorkies. Breeder of Teacups, Toys, & Standards. Also, Teacup Yorkie males mixed with females of other breeds. We raise Teacup, Toys, & Standard sized Yorkie pups. We have a Yorkie health page, Yorkie shipping, Yorkie stud service. All our pups are registered with the ACA. We have been raising Yorkies for 24 years. Okay now I wouldn't consider this to be a good breeder. There is only one yorkie standard and she tries to push that teacups are their own breed or accepted as such. Obviously she's trying to push tinies for profit. |

| I agree. I would want to go see the puppy first and Meet the breeder in person. See the parents and take time to ask all the quetions before I would buy.Tell her good luck in finding a baby. |

| that is what is at the top of the yorkiepup site http://www.yorkiepup.com/ tell your friend that she should make an informed decision on getting a yorkie. It takes time to find the perfect one, but when she does it is worth it. If she goes to the wrong breeder she can get a sick puppy with hundreds of dollars in bills. |

| I happened on a site about Jeff Dane when I was researching for my first yorkie. It was ugly and since I was so new at it and not great on the internet I did not try to keep the site as a favorite. Later, I tried to find it again, since I could not remember the breeder and was getting ready to buy Chloe from Atlanta. I wanted to make sure the breeder I picked was not the breeder people were complaining about. I suggest going to YTCA website and look at their breeder recommendations. Also, try to go to shows near you, where you can meet people and educate yourself. This site has some breeders also and a lot of info. Definitely, I'd go to the home and visit the breeder and the pet beforehand. JMO |

I wish her a healthy baby, Its so sad she's in a rush. It took me a long time to find Princess, but when I did, I knew she was the one. And it wasn't easy, every time I looked at a Yorkie baby, they are so cute, I wanted them all. Princess let me know she was the one. She needs to know, seeing the parents, meeting the Breeder, or at least getting a real good backround on the Bredeer is really important.Like I said I wish her a healthy baby.

| I live about two hours from Jeff Dane. We purchased two puppies from him. They are beautiful, healthy, happy, and were reasonably priced. Full grown weight almost as guessed at 6 (Bronx) and 8 (Zowie) pounds. I found his home to be lovely as were his wife and children, all of whom help with the pups. His daughter, about 16, raises the maltese. He owns two other breeding facilities as well as his own. He has lovely kennels with indoor and outdoor areas. My pups (not brother and sister) had a litter in May, also healthy beautiful babies. I was told Bronx father was 2.5 pounds, the mothers are generally around 7. One of my pups is 3# at almost 5 months. The others are 4, 6 and 7. I don't believe them to be full grown, but they are great puppies, they are not nervous, sickly, scrawny. I don't want to upset everyone, but I do tire of the Jeff-bashing.

i'll certainly keep you posted on my friend's new puppy. i have to say i'm REALLY glad i asked. honestly, i'd like to hear more positive than negative about a breeder but i just can't balk at so many past experiences that were not good. as an owner i'd rather be safe than sorry. you're very fortunate to have seen your pups before buying. i think every owner should do so. again, i hope my friend's purchase will prove successful. PS your babies are VERY cute! Last edited by Funky Chicken; 10-14-2005 at 07:28 PM. | |
