Hello, I'm Josh owner of Sugartree Yorkies and I'd like to take a few minutes to respond to this thread and this post in particular. BamaFan121s I'm sure after watching an episode of Opera you think you're an expert on breeders but I have a few things to add.
First of all that was a link to our old site that was never taken down our new site is
http://www.yorkiepuppydogs.com/
We no longer offer full registration and we have not for quite a wile. We do not sell to brokers, breeders or pet shops. Our puppies are for pets only.
Also all of our Dams are at least 5lbs, the exception was Bitty who was 3lbs and we bread her once she had one puppy on her own, and then we had her spayed.
I'm confused on how breeding Morkies make us bad breeders exactly? Both parents are AKC registered, and we've gotten nothing but amazing responses from our Morkie owners. Many of whom are Yorkie owners as well.
And other than those 3 litters how would you know how many litters we are having? You seem to be the expert so you should know that females heat cycles tend to sync and thats why we had 3 litters in such a short period of time. We have a total of 5 breeding age females and this includes our 2 Maltese.
The term T-cup is used by a large portion breeders in advertising and we're the first ones to tell potential owners that T-cup is just an advertising term and that there is only one Yorkie breed.
Our health guarantee is very comparable to 95% of all other breeders and you would be hard pressed to find breeders who cover LP. I'd also like to note that in the 6 years that I've been breeding I have NEVER had a health problem with any puppy.
The reason we put 8weeks is because that is the earliest puppies can be shipped and if we thought for a second there was any danger to the puppies we would postpone shipping, and in fact we normally ask buyers to wait until they are 12 weeks old.

--They are breeding 3 pounds girls for Pete's sake! 
--They seem to be having quite a few litters within a very short amount of time (3 w/in a 2 month span?!)
--The health guarantee only covers 'life threatening' genetic disorders, which leaves it WIDE open for non life threatening ones (like LP)...oh wait, they outright say they don't cover LP
--They sell on limited registration, but will give you breeding rights for an extra $500.
Sorry, but these people are everything you DON'T want in a breeder. I would run as fast as I could! |
