My baby came from them and i have recommended them quite a few times. I also happened to know personally another 8 yorkie owners that got their yorkies from them and all are very pleased as well. So i just gave another referral in case someone reads this old thread.
Having found a great breeder makes all the difference and my healthy gorgeous Maxx is a living proof of it.
I have quite a few friends who own yorkies and some have experienced the very worse with their dogs, genetic diseases, puppies sent home too young , and i tried to advise whoever that compliments Maxx as i have seen some horror stories, but some people can only learn the very hard way.
My hairdresser owns 2 yorkies, one she got from a puppy mill kennel, she paid 800 to bring him home and another 2000 to keep him alive, he is ok now but he has a very weird walk, he "skip and kick" when he walks. She has a younger yorkie and he is all good, darker richer color and beautiful. I found out she got them from the same breeder i got mine, smartpuppiepets, and she could not be more pleased. It was nice to see one of my Maxx relatives.
If you research before you make a decision and know what to look for you can avoid heart aches and pocket expenses too.
