I am looking for a male standard size Yorkie. I live in Charlotte, NC. Charlotte. com has an ad for ekkennels located near Hickory, NC. Thanks for your help, Bonnie

mmm....I looked at their website, it saids that its 6 different breeders, but they are a lot of different breeds there and designer dogs...i personally dont feel comfortable about this place. If you want to wait just a little while before getting your puppy, they're a few breeders in NC on this forum you should talk to, I have a breeder picked out in Hendersonville, NC that i could give you her email. As a personaly feeling, i dont trust this kennel. Good luck to you with finding your breeder, if you want to PM me you are more then welcome to!

It sounds like a puppy broker. Please be careful.

A lot of them seem so expensive. I adopted a 2 year 4 month old male miniature American Eskimo dog from Cullen's Archangel Rescue (foster group) in mid. August. Emerson was rescued from a Greenville, SC humane society. He is wonderful in every way and a real joy. My son (14 years old) would love a Yorkie. I have found one that is a rescue mother that had puppies - up for adoption in a few months but it will be $600. I am looking for a family pet. My son doesn't like the mixed Yorkies. Thanks for your help. I saw the other posts about the breeder in Hendersonville. It's a little far for me with my son playing sports twice a week and practices on the weekend (soccer and basketball over lap right now). Bonnie

I'm here visiting in Charlotte and found ekkennels' ad in the Observer. No proof, but I am fairly certain they're a puppy mill. I have adopted 2 Yorkie bitches rescued from 2 separate puppy mills and both of them had multiple breeds and similar advertising. I would strongly advise you to not get a dog from there.

Have you tried [URL="yorkierescue.com"]yorkierescue.com[/URL

they have purebred yorkies up for adoption, already spayed and neutered, sometimes housebroken and have had their DHLPP/Rabies shots.

It's not the dogs fault that they've been abandoned and they make the most loving little babes.

I've had three rescued Yorkies and they have been the best dogs! My latest rescue was from the largest puppy mill in US history. I've posted a video about her first year with me in the Yorkie video thread (Milagra: One Year After Her Rescue ) There are several other videos of rescued Yorkies in that thread as well. Rest assured, you'll get a great dog for very little money all while being part of the SOLUTION instead of contributing to the problem by buying from these hellholes.
