Hi- I am posting because i just got an adorable puppy from s & v pups. I picked S & V after i babysat for my friends yorkie who was one of the best dogs i have ever encountered. She got him at S & V and took me there the day that she got home from vacation. I have had my puppy for a week and a few days and so far everything is going really great. We took her to the vet and they said she was very healthy and she is doing really well on puppy training, no accidents in 3 days. I definitely got taken on the price..i paid 2,000, which is not outrageous for the city, but pretty high for Brooklyn...funny thing is that i knew at the time i was getting scammed, but the puppy was so cute and supposedly had the same father as my friends, there was NO way I was leaving without her. Right now, she is 14 weeks and 2lbs 1oz. It is funny bc after i got home, it went through my mind that she was probably younger and they just made up her birthday, but then the vet confirmed that she was likely around that age. All in all, my opinion of S & V quality pups is mixed..the place is kind of dingy, the guy who sells the dogs is a bit scamish, i didn't feel overly comfortable and still don't, BUT on the other hand, my friend got 2 great dogs there (one yorkie and one maltese) and they are both WONDERFUL and healthy and my little one is doing great..so if i was scammed, it was a good scam! I heard that Celtic puppy breeders in Long Island is supposed to be really good..that was where I was originally going before i found out where my friend got her puppy. I hope this review helps...the other thing i wanted to comment on was about the ceasar puppy mixed with the high-end dry food. I asked my vet and she said that she was fine with my puppy eating the ceasar food mixed with dry food until she is 6 months because yorkies are known for being finicky eaters and mine was a little thin and she was happy that she was eating. She recommended Royal Canin dry food, they have a formula specific to yorkies when she is an adult. Would be happy to answer any questions about my purchase!!!
