Hi. My husband surprised me with a yorkie puppy from Sportsmann Kennel just this past February. As soon as I saw her it was love at first sight, so at that time, I couldn't care less where she came from. However, now after the fact, when I looked into things, I would not purchase a dog from Sportsmann Kennel again. My yorkie girl was not akc registered and was taken away from her mother too soon. I was given the name of the breeder, who was from South Dakota, but there is no web site or any way to see pictures of her parents. My husband was told that she will grow no bigger than 6 pounds. But at 4 1/2 months old, she is already 5 pounds!!! My little girl will probably be a teapot. Anyways, she has been to the vet several times and checks out ok. My vet says she looks great, no health issues of any yet, and is very impressed by her disposition. She is extremely smart, very loving, has no bathroom accidents, and has learned many tricks already. So I consider myself very very lucky. But would not take that chance again!!! |
