SET Yorkies

[NicoleNYC]

Hi! I am new here I have been reading the forums for quite some time now for Yorkie advice and I finally decided to sign up! I am in the process of looking for a female Yorkie for around the end of July to early August of this year. I have actually been contacting many breeders, and I feel like Southeast Texas Yorkies seems like an amazing breeder. I was wondering if any of you guys have bought from her or heard of her. If so, what do you think? Thank you!

I personally have never heard of them but things to remember and do when getting a yorkie is you really want to get one near you so you can see the parents where they are living as well as where the pups are living, you want to make sure that the breeder is not sending the pups home before 12 weeks, you will want a health guarantee, also make sure the breeder did health checks on the parents and that they are free of LP, AKC registry is the best registry in the USA, and stay away from buyers who use the words teacup, micro, and mini. Good luck and I hope you find the perfect pup for you.

At first glance and with having absolutely no research other than on YT about SouthEast Yorkies the site appears to be well written by very literate and educated persons. They provide alot of good information on their site and on YT as well and are definitely very knowledgeable on Yorkies.

My only concern is their studs are Tiny and their bitches not much bigger, infact none of the studs or bitches meet the STANDARD where Yorkies are concerned.

Many reputable breeders share open dialogue (written) about the pups they are selling on YT, which I enjoy. SET Yorkies does not seem to do this so I can only assume that they are PM (private message) selling as some breeders seem to do on here, probably to stay under the radar of people like me who genuinely care about the Yorkie Breed.

Have you received a PM from them yet????


Inquiring minds want to know...

p.s. No I would not purchase a pup from them.

I was approached by SETYorkies on YT when I said I wanted a puppy back in January. Kirista was very nice, she asked me to fill out a questionnaire to get to know me a little better and what kind of environment her pup would be living in. That shows that she would not sell to just anyone, which is a GREAT thing! Her dogs are beautiful. She said she'd send me pics of some girls available and I could pick, but she never sent the pictures, so I found another breeder. Would consider them in the future though.

How so? They all appear to actually look like yorkies (yorkie colouring, ears UP) , are AKC registered as yorkies, DNA'd and health tested and do not exceed 7lbs (according to the website).

I believe she is from Texas. She doesn't send the puppies home until 15-20 weeks if they are shipped (which they would have to be as I live in NJ). She has a two year health guarantee in which she offers to buy back the puppy if you cannot take care of it any longer. The puppies are AKC registered and have all of their shots (minus rabies) before leaving and are sometimes even spayed. I am just not sure entirely yet, but she seems like a very good breeder from the information but I can't be sure yet. I will attach the links to her website and contract:

I feel like she seems like she cares as well, as I had to fill out a very detailed application on her website. I know a lot of people are iffy about shipping but it seems like she has some references here on Yorkie Talk that have said nice things. I am just always skeptical no matter what.

Ah yes, you are right I left out a few words..I meant to say the full standard - up to 7lbs.....ALL of her studs are 3lbs and some ounces all of her bitches are under 6lbs, this brings up red flags for me, personally...big ones.

Thanks for pointing that out to me!

You might want to go down in the breeders forum and inquire about breeders, including this one. Do your homework, do it well. You will get alot of good information from others on here as well.

I have been searching on here for quite awhile and I contacted her because she seemed to be very knowledgeable, especially on the information she provided as well as on these forums. So I am just a little confused.

Many of us here purchased vet checked, dna checked, akc yorkies. I had to fill out questionnaires and the such as well, I have two dogs that are not well.

There are SOME breeders that will say, and are well versed on what to say to appeal to you...sadly, some of them are liars.

P.S. I PERSONALLY would not purchase any pup whose parents were under 5lbs. And definitely not 3 OR 4 OR 2 OR 1.... That is my personal opinnion.
