Default Natalie

I realize that this is really a late posting, but after several years away from YT, I came back with a new account. (new email address)
I was really impress with Natalie when I purchased our boy from her. She spent a lot of time with me on the phone, and I really trusted her. I realize now that I had a lot to learn, but I thought she had the nicest dogs, and was impressed with how clean all of 20-25 dogs running throughout the house were. We wanted a little male, and Natalie assured me that this puppy wouldn't get over 3 pounds. I was impressed by her stated policy to me that anyone that wasn't happy with one of her dogs she would purchase back. I picked up the little guy at about 12 weeks of age, and while he didn't look as nice in person as he did over the pictures she emailed me, I happily paid her $2500. and went home.
At 4 months when he was already 3.5 pounds I was concerned and called. I was told that he wouldn't get any larger than that. Regardless, he was a loved part of our family, and his weight wasn't going to change that. What I didn't know when I purchased him was that Natalie wasn't the breeder. To make matters worse, AKC had problems with Natalie, and wouldn't register him. When he was over 5 pounds at about 6 months I again called and she couldn't have cared less by her attitude on the phone. All I got from her was that if I wasn't happy, I could ship him back to her at my cost on Northwest Airlines. As I said, he had long become a part of our family, and even if he hadn't I wouldn't send a little puppy on an airline. I just wanted her to acknowledge what she had done to us, and although I never asked, I thought she would have offered to maybe refund some of the 2500 since we didn't get what we were told we would have, and he wasn't going to be recognized by AKC.
This was several years ago. We still have Beau, and we eventually got things straight with AKC, but no thanks to Natalie. We now show Yorkies, but Beau is just the family pet. I have no doubt that Natalie loves her dogs, but don't kid yourself, they were a business to her first. I don't know circumstances now, but at that time I dealt with her, that was how she supported herself. What is the difference from going to a pet store?
I often talk to people interested in purchasing their own Yorkie not be be fooled by pretty pictures on a website. Many people are just not honest when they think that they may make a sale. You are rolling the dice if you purchase without doing a lot of homework.

Default Natalie Wee little Yorkie

I have also purchased a yorkie from Natalie. It was a bit of high price and he was supposed to be smaller. 3-4, He turned out to be 7lbs. Oh well.
Would I trade him back or return him? ABSOLUTELY NOT!
I adore my Rocco(I named him). Talking with Natalie extensively made me comfortable, I asked her to start calling him Rocco while waiting for him to be old enough to travel to NY.
He came as a tiny 2 lb healthy lil boy. He is the most loving, trusting wonderful guy I could have asked for. He adores me and I him. He sleeps with us every night. Under the covers and on top. Whatever she did for his first three months was perfect. he is social, friendly, doesn't bite(some yorkies do), doesn't bark unless a reason. I couldn't ask for a better dog. I travel back and forth to Florida and he sits on my lap because he doesn't want to be under the seat. He sleeps and wakes up for the snack cart. If I could travel with two I would get another one from her in a NY heartbeat.
I recommended Natalie to my friend. She got a yorkie(from a different line) who is just as sweet as Rocco.
I recommend Natalie. I just wish I knew why Rocco licks our feet like it is his job!!!!
I say go to Natalie!!!!

I have several of Natalies Yorkies and I wouldn't trade one of them for the world.
My Johnny came from Natalie and he is more than I could ever has expected, it turns out that he has became my Service Alert Companion. I suffer from sudden Syncope attacks which cause me to pass out and fall. I have bloodied my nose, fallen down a flight of steps and cut my hard head open and can't tell you how many bumps and bruises I have gotten.
At the age of 8 months Johnny one day jumped up on my chest and totally refused to be put down. When I would put him down he was back on my chest before I could even get ready to stand up. Long story short, I didn't listen to him and got up and started walking down the first three stairs when I passed out. When I came to Johnny was once again laying on my chest with a very worried yet loving look on his face.
I now listen when ever he signals me and he has been certified as my Service Alert Companion, and I might add that he has never missed once on his alerts.
Johnny is truely my heart song and I own Natalie a world of thanks for allowing me to bring him into my life.

Default My experience

I am new to YorkieTalk but once I came across this discussion, wanted to tell of my experience with Natalie. I told her that I was looking for a very tiny male. She said she had one but when following his growth it appeared that he was getting too big too fast. She then told me that she had a 5 month old (she said it was a friends - but the paperwork had Natalies name on them) that was very tiny - 1.5 lbs. I asked why he hadn't been sold yet seeing as how he was already 5 months and she said that she was thinking of keeping him. When he arrived, he was so emaciated. I took him to the vet who confirmed that he was very malnurished. Needless to say he gained .5 a lb in two weeks. He also came with giardia which took 2 bouts of medication to get rid of. He also came with a cough, which to this date - 6 weeks later - still has. He had not been socialized because he is still afraid of people. So although there are very happy people out there with her puppies - I am not one of them and would never recommend this puppy mill to anyone.

Default Confusing Situation . . . Help!

I have noticed that this breeder has a "thumbs up" from YT. It is confusing to read so many repsonses that are in direct opposition of one another. How do you ever find a good breeder you can trust? I had looked at Natalie's site based on the YT list and felt good about what I saw. No red flags. Thought her Yorkies were priced on the high end, but our Bella was almost $4,000. We rehomed her (didn't pay for her). I've thought about adding a Yorkie but would not know where to go to find a good breeder. This arguing back and forth and negative/positive posting has me thoroughly confused. What do others do that are "researching" breeders? This is a breeder I felt I had researched and now this string of replies has me totally mixed up! Help!

I, too, searched and searched through websites and googled Natalie to make sure. I just wanted to post my experience with her and wanted to alert everyone who is interested in getting a puppy from her to just take a look at my experience. I am not naive and know that nobody is perfect, and of course, they are doing it for the money, but the puppy I received from Natalie, was certainly not what I paid for. Good Luck in your search. There are many sites out there with reputable breeders. Look on youtube also. There is one breeder I think called yorkymom on youtube. Check it out.

I purchased a little girl yorkie 'Bella' from her. Natalie was so nice and it was the best purchase I have ever made. Bella is 2 now and weighs 2.5 lbs. Miss Bella lives for me and is the sweetest most loveable baby I have ever had. She truly is a gift from God. I want more bc Bella is such a perfect angel. Thank u Natalie for making my life complete. You will not go wrong buying a yorkie from Natalies Yorkies!!!

Dog Natalie's Wee Yorkies

Yes, Natalie produces fine Yorkies. I was just emailing her today actually about little Bubbles. I am most likely going to be purchasing from her in the near future.

Though obviously some have not been heartbroken by this breeder, I would be remiss if I did not mention my experience. I purchased from this breeder and got a male with grade 4 LP and a female with liver shunt. She did not guarantee the LP (EVEN THOUGH HE HAD IT WHEN I GOT HIM) but, she did replace the female (after, I paid an additional 3000.00 to keep her alive) with a 10 pound girl. Do not support this woman, she lives off of the backs of her dogs.

WEll, I had a good experience with her. I'm not trying to change anyone ele's opinion. I just liked her dogs. Why aren't you saying this to everyone else who's had a good experience with her?
