Does Anyone know this breeder?

[prncssleah]

Hi there! I have a friend here in SC that is looking to get a Yorkie. She found this breeder on breeders.net. She e-mailed and spoke with the breeder who told her that she has one female available now that is 12 weeks old and 2lbs. She said she normally charges $1000 but she doesn't not want this little one bred so she said she would lower the price. Here's her site:

The breeder also sent pictures of this little angel and she is precious. Isn't she adorable?! Please let me know if you have heard of the breeder.

Grrrr...freaking firewalls!!!

I'll have to check when I go home but that little pup sure is a cutie!

She's the first one on this link to breeders.net. Will your office let you go to it?

Loretta Lyon?

Yep Loretta Lyon. Do you know her?

[txshopper73]

No and did a search here and no one has posted on her. Since I can't get to her site, I don't know what she has on there but hopefully others can give their opinion on her and her site.

Thanks. Do you know of anyone else in this area that I should have her call? She's really wanting to find one under $1000 because she just wants one for a household pet.

The puppy looks adorable and the price is good.

Is there somewhere I can get a list of questions to ask a breeder that I can give her? I built one of my own when I was looking just from digging around here, but I was hoping that there's a list somewhere I can give her that would help her find out if she should check the pup out or if she should run away

She breeds chows to

I will keep looking

That little boy "Noel" on her website sure is cute (Parti Yorkie). I didn't get to look at the whole thing but could it be all THAT bad just because she breeds two different types of dogs?? Like I said, I didn't check out the whole site - thought I'd leave that to you experts!

This is a list for you


Here are some things to find out BEFORE you buy from a breeder:



1) How many litters do they produce in a year?

2) How old are the parents?

3) Have they had health testing done (liver shunt testing, blood panels and LP's checked and any other test pertaining to the breed simple vet exams aren't enough)

4) Can they show you proof of the test results?

5) Is their paperwork in order? (pedigrees, registrations,health tests, exams,medical records,etc)

6) Do they have references you can check out?

7) Are they opposed to you checking with their vet?

8) Are they knowledgable about the breed(s) they are breeding/selling? (you should be as well so that you will know if it's hype you are hearing or truth)

9) Are their prices in reason with the quality, temperment, bloodlines,health testing done?

10) Do they have their adults and puppies temperament tested?

11) Do they offer a health guarantee for genetic defects?

12) Do they have a contract? (they should, this is important)

13) Do they have a buy back/take back clause in their contract ? (this is important and should say that they will buy back/take back/help rehome any dog/puppy produced by them at any time for any reason)

14) Do they sell on spay/neuter contracts? (again very important)

15) Do they offer contact info so you can contact them after the sale if you should have questions or concerns?

16) Do they feed good quality food? (again important and says something about the breeder)

17) Do they send home a puppy kit with food being fed, info about the breed, grooming info, health info on parents (copies of health test results), health info on puppies (first vaccinations and health certificate from the vet), registration info?

18) If purebred are the puppies registered with a legitamate registry? (AKC, UKC, CKC (Canadian Kennel Club) beware of the scam registries such as ckc (continental or canine kennel club), ACKC (American Canine Kennel club), WWKC (World Wide Kennel Club) among others

Bad news...It turns out that she was willing to give the discount to $800, but the puppy has a hernia and it's going to be $200 for the operation that my friend would have to take care of. She said the breeder was really up front about it though. She said she was going to checkout YT tonight so if anyone hears of breeders in SC or NC with puppies please let her or me know.

I gave her a linke to a site with the questions that I looked for, but I'll pass these on to her and I think they will help in her search.

Thanks!
