kp&nala · 06-08-2005, 07:13 AM

my bf bought nala from what i thought to be a "small breeder" than breed on ocassion but after a week and and 3 vet bills later it became quite clear that the lady was nothing more than a backyard breeder trying to make money. I have no idea what nala's living conditions were since she was a surprise.

So now, I have an orange yorkie with a pom tail.

Poochie is adorable. I love her tail. Congrats. Is an adorable "oops" litter indeed.

She is very cute! Adorable, actually. That tail is something else. If you could clone your baby or reproduce it, you could make a lot I bet! Did the other pups from the litter look like yours?

SoCal,

Actually, there were five little girls and one boy (he was already pre-adopted) in the litter and half were fuzzy, orange fluffballs like Poochie. The others had wavy, darker grayish yorkie fur. I never got a chance to see Poochie's litter mates all grown up, but I'm sure they are little dolls now, just like her.

Pixie came from a show breeder. I was referred to her by a few members of the YTCA while I was searching.

Stewart is from a breeder in Chicago who breeds only Yorkies. He had two females and one male. Stewie's breeder's brother breeds Papillions and I almost took one of them home! Too much hair!

Hefner and Chai were both from a Hobby/ breeder=broker here in San Diego. Her grandmother has bred yorkies for 30 years but she is deaf so her granddaughter took care of finding forever home. She took puppies from other hobby breeders and sold them too so Hefner was from a "friend" and Buddha was from her Grandma. I was comfortable with this because hefner was laready neutered because the breeder did not wnat her "line" diluted so to speak and we were given a lot of training on the care and needs of these little guys.

Chai came from a hobby breeder in Texas who has parti-yorkies, chocolates and traditional. I spoke to her for several weeks and had to convince her to let me have her. She received hundreds of emails from people wanting her and was even offered more money, but I lucked out and she liked me and picked me for her forever home. She wouldn't let her go until she was 14 weeks and at least 2 lbs and i spoke to her vet who was very professional, very nice, knowledgeable, forthright (she had an inquinal hernia) and raved about the breeder. She flew to me on an airplane and was more thatn we expected in personality and looks!

OK here's the truth. We got our dog bandit from a pet store. they told us he was from a breeder so we believed him. he was from a puppy mill. we got our new puppy tucker from people who home bred their yorkie, maggie. he is the sweetest dog ever!!!!!

We got Ayrwen our first from a hobby breeder that breeds only Yorkies. (Maybe a little more than hobby). They are in rual Missouri. We got our second female Galadriel from them too. They both have been very healthy. They were very helpful and supportive.

Our male we purchased frorm a hobby breeder also a lot smaller scale than than the one the girls came from. We just have three right now.

My bf and I bought Harley from a hobby breeder in Hagerstown Maryland about an hour from where we live. We wanted a local breeder who loved their babies as much as we do and we got it! The family was awesome and all helped to raise their 3 litters they had. We totally lucked out getting our darlin Harley bc his litter was an accident! Their male Scooter was such a lazy bum that he wouldn't even jump onto their couch but he jumped a waist high fence to get to his girlfriend Molly!lolv

So that's how Harley and his siblings came to be! I love him so much!
